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...

When I woke up this morning, I knew the day wouldn't be an active one. Nothing sinister happened that would have suggested anything unexpected; it was rather one of those intuitions that depicted how the events of the day would unfold. This gut feeling strengthened when I grabbed Abby's leash and took her for her early morning walk. She was as inactive as I was, and the speed and length of our walk corroborated this theory. We ambled back to the house momentarily. After this painfully short-lived stroll with a surprisingly exhausted canine, I sat in front of the TV, munched my breakfast and slurped the much-needed black nectar in the form of a strong espresso. What a surreal still-life this was. Especially considering how many episodes we have watched from one of the currently watched series. As my system started to absorb the caffeine, switching my wee brain into the first gear, the haze dissipated over today's schedule. Harnessing this ephemeral clear state, I rushed into...

Tiistai 🇫🇮 Þriðjudagur 🇮🇸

My day was alright. I rearranged the shelves in the basement, which took me two hours to complete. I could have spent more time rearranging, but I had to deal with my homework before the class this afternoon. I had to read a story and summarise its content, write about the characters, and describe my impression. Even though the weather forecast predicts warmer days, the presence of autumn is palpable. The nights are much colder than a week ago, and the morning walks with Abby are faster due to the chilly temperature. I quite like the lower temperature and enjoy taking cold showers in the evenings because they refresh my body. However, I miss my summer sandals, shorts, and T-shirts. Walking Abby without having to don my jacket and put on several other layers was much easier. The English class with Charlette was fantastic. The sixty minutes flew by like a bullet train. I feel lucky to learn from her. After the lesson, I prepared my high tea cocoa pancakes. I love pancakes. When I devoure...

Montag 🇦🇹

We are in Austria. After waking up and devouring breakfast, Ági took Abby to the dog daycare, and I packed my things for the journey. We set out at eleven o'clock, washed the car, and hit the road to get here. The highway was busy, so it took us three hours to reach Parndorf, where we had lunch at Nordsee and drank coffee at Tommy Hilfiger. We did some shopping, only bought the necessary goods and left for the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 4 p.m., checked in, and drove off to another shopping centre to buy other goods we couldn't find in Parndorf. The hotel is quite nice from the inside. However, the facade and the overall look from the outside seem rather outdated; we felt like being in one of Budapest's hotels. Anyway, the staff is alright, the room is clean, and the view is breathtaking. Since tomorrow is a national holiday here, we'll visit a winemaker in Oslip to buy quality wine - Passatutti. We planned to have "Wiener Schnitzel" there and spend the ...
