Sunnuntai 🇫🇮 - Vasárnap 🇭🇺 - Sunday🇬🇧

Another day off

I thought I was in a cheap movie when the alarm clock went off. The whole morning with the waking-up procedure seemed unrealistic; that's how deep of a sleep I had. I spent fifty minutes in bed before stumbling to the living room and having breakfast. The coffee I drank ensured my brain worked properly, so we devised a cunning plan: let's hike to our favourite spot and back.

When we reached the town border, where nature started, we realised that there was a triathlon competition; oodles of people were running about towards the "Kőhegy", and we were afraid of bumping into them at every corner. Fortunately, we saw the end of the contestants, as literally, the last two runners left the checkpoint. Relieved by the sight of the runners' queue's end, we headed up the hill for the public well.

The weather was beautiful. Sunny, not too warm - +23°C - with clear skies. Upon returning home, Ági prepared lunch - fish fingers with potatoes - and watched another episode of Derrick. This part was made in 1997, and it was evident that the writer ran out of ideas and struggled with devising a devious plot. On the one hand, it was funny; on the other hand, it was painful to watch.

After devouring the nosh, I gave Ági a foot massage and watched the second part of "Snatch". It's an alright movie, and the main reason I watched it again was my love of the brilliant British accent Vinny Jones, Jason Statham, and the others spoke. I'm absolutely crazy about the Cockney accent. When I finished the movie and Ági's feet, I took Abby for her afternoon walk, and then I had something to eat because I got peckish.

I didn't study today, not that I'd learnt anything the day before, so now is the time to do something about it. I'll start tomorrow with a clean slate and focus on the previous lessons. Reviewing the previous vocabulary and what I learnt is always a good idea. I wasn't too inactive because while watching the series, I made notes of the unknown words, so however passive my studying seemed, I made a lot of effort to keep my vocabulary and knowledge up to date.

I've been playing with the idea of riding a bike recently, so much so that a friend of ours, who visited us yesterday, left his bicycle - which he wants to sell - here to try it out. I took it for a ride but wasn't convinced about the notion of hopping on a bike and riding long miles alone. I spent long hours online seeking new bikes in the last few days. The market is full of excellent bicycles, but, despite the fact that I love cycling, I'm still not sure if this is the best possible sport for me. I'll sleep on it, though...
