Liquid on skin

I thought I would exude some liquid while walking down to get my ID renewed, but I wouldn't have thought I'd sweat like a pig on ice. The strong coffee and the heat generated by the sun early in the morning were the two contributing factors, I know, but I have to admit, it was mainly due to my low fitness. I had to leave the bank, where I wanted to close one of my accounts, because even the air-conditioned space couldn't do anything about it. It made it worse, actually. Anyway, after returning home, we had a nice lunch - fish fingers with potato and tomato. After devouring the nosh, I drank a coffee and gave Ági a foot massage. 

The English class with Charlette was fantastic. We discussed once again which exam to sit, and we agreed on taking the CPE. I still don't think my English is good enough; however, who am I to question and contradict her opinion and the CELTA qualification? So, the lesson was world champion, and the homework she gave me seemed far too challenging to begin to deal with. I'll have plenty of time to complete it in the next few days.

The DIY frenzy doesn't seem to stop indahauz! Right now, we sacrificed two hours from our lives to install the new curtain and its holder in the bathroom. We are not craftsmen, but we had to learn how to deal with such puny tasks because non of the masters of thread would come to fix them in the foreseeable future and, not to mention, for a reasonable price. Oh, God, will it end sometime?

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 ...
