Celebration


As planned, after finishing breakfast, we set out on our celebratory programs. First, we headed for the Castle District, where Ági had a delicious latte ice cream, and I had a "krémes" with an espresso at "Ruszwurm". In addition, we brought home some more "krémes" and a "képviselőfánk" should the afternoon seem depressing. With the goods in our bellies, we drove back home, parked the car, put the cakes in the fridge, and walked to Szentendre's downtown to have a nice lunch at our favourite restaurant, Christine. Before the meal, Ági had a mojito, and I had a lemonade with elderberry. For the main course, Ági had Cesar Salad, and I had the usual beef stew with gnocchi with sheep cheese. We ate like a queen and a king. 

While we were sitting at the restaurant, old memories surfaced. We met here in Szentendre thirty-one years ago and have been together since. The town looked different, as we did, of course. The town was similar to any other socialist town, but we were much younger and brimming with emotions toward each other. The memories today's events evoked made us realise that the number of years we've been together is longer than the number of years of our lives before we met. Anyway, after returning home, we had to eat one of the cakes, then I took Abby for her afternoon walk, gave Ági a foot massage, and watched another episode of "Deadwind". I still find the Finnish language amazing. And the more we watch Finnish series, the more similarity we discover between Hungarian and Finnish.

Once the slumber party was over, I tried to grind one of the wooden slats by hand since the machine was on its way to the service. As it took me ages to get the surface of the slat smooth and without any marks of grinding, I gave up the laborious DIY activity and decided to wait for the feedback of the service. I don't have time on my hand to do such work.

The weather was wonderful today. It wasn't too hot, and the highest temperature was around +25°C, and although the sky was cloudy, it couldn't inhibit the sun to change the colour of our skins. The next few days will bring more heat, so it is time to clean the AC units before the heat boils our minds.

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...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮

We watched the last episode of Bordertown. Now the series is over and won't be available on Netflix anymore. Moreover, they don't plan to shoot another season yet, so chances are we were lucky to have watched the complete three seasons. Anyway, "Vive le Finnish-Hungarian friendship and Uralic languages!" 🇫🇮🇭🇺 After Ági left for the university, I sat down to study. I received four tasks yesterday from Charlette, and I finished the open cloze text and made some notes on the vocabulary part of the lesson. Now ask me anything about "wear out", "hanker for", "wind up", "drop in on", drop in", "cloak", "spectre", "orb", and "mace". Writing a report, explaining the gist of a video to a B1 level student, and writing a letter to an editor of a magazine are left to be completed. When I finished studying, I made some lunch: the menu was pita-bread with Greek yoghurt and veggies - tomato, spr...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

After a not-so-good night's sleep - I had a terrible dream; a lion wanted to chase me down and eat me - I woke up like a log. Little did I know about how chilly the outside temperature was when I took Abby for her morning walk. Both of us hurried back home. It took me two hours to create the lesson plan before my dentist's appointment, but I did it eventually. Since my temporary bridge had fallen off yesterday, I went to the dentist without it. Anyway, I'll have a new bridge next Wednesday if things pan out. I had a lesson with Ági's student this afternoon. I enjoyed the class and hope the students were also content with it. But the afternoon traffic is lethal. On the way home, there were numerous collisions, and I even saw two cars in the ditch. Crazy drivers should stay indoors. The weather is changing. It's still not typical of October, but the first signs of autumn are visible. The foliage is not as fresh green as it used to be during summer, and the nights are ...
