Tiistai 🇫🇮

I was an official chauffeur today. I had to drive Ági to the university this morning and bring her back this evening. I hardly had time to study as much as I'd wanted to, but at least I got out for a bit. Not that I would be in prison; only staying at home every day makes it feel like being in a super secure institution. Anyway, the nearly hundred kilometres I drove today was fun, and the car's consumption is outstanding - 5.6 litres during the morning route and 6.1 in the evening.

My class with Charlette was superb. She really is the best English teacher I've ever met. The lesson was all about what I needed to strengthen and improve my English, so I was over the moon. She really is inspirational, and her knowledge is top-notch. Wind up, wear out, and drop in on are the phrasal verbs I wasn't entirely sure of; therefore, they need more attention so I can explain their meanings while teaching. 

The weather could be better. It's not bad, but the intense cold wind from the north brings colder air. This means the early summer is almost over, and the gloomy days are coming back slowly. Exactly when I started to enjoy my walks in my beloved TEVA sandals. Now I can put them back in the shoe trunk and hop in my hiking shoes. BRRRRRR... 🥶 

Our beloved series is almost over. One more day left to watch the last episodes, which makes us sad. As hard as we loved the series, we find it equally hard to believe it's over. We hope they create another season - or seasons - because this series was top-notch. And we mustn't forget how much we grew to love the Finnish language.

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
