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...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach.  After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries

Goodbye 2023 - Hello 2024

2023 has been an interesting year for many reasons. There were ups and downs, good and bad times, laughter and tears, but most importantly, us being together. During the last few years, I've noticed that we can overcome any obstacles together, which is a fantastic and soothing thought. Come 2024, for better or worse, together we will solve everything. May the world be a better place in 2024.

GRAZ - day 1 - 🇦🇹

We are in Graz, as Ági’s linguist conference starts tomorrow. We woke up early in the morning. I had to de-ice the cars, which took an hour. Once I finished the job, Ági took Abby to the dog sitter, and I packed my things for the weekend. Abby didn’t want to stay at the dog-sitter - poor thing - but Ági’s callousness conquered her temper tantrum. Travelling to Austria is always a pleasure. The roads were clean, the traffic was not heavy, and taking the scenic route was a brilliant decision. We could have opted for the Balaton route, but the northern direction seemed a better choice. We stopped at an unknown little village, where the shopping mall was phenomenal. We grabbed a coffee and stretched our legs because sitting in a car for hours is not the best thing in the world. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel - which looks great - safe and sound. The room is small but clean, however, the area is a bit dodgy. It’s close to the main train station, which attracts many people, so it is a busy
