Sporty day

I didn't anticipate such an active day after waking up. Getting out of bed late meant I couldn't stick to the plan however hard I wanted to. According to the Apple Health and the Withings apps, my health is below average, so I don't have no other choice but to do more physical activity. With this in mind, we went for a long walk with Ági at 8:45 a.m. The temperature was already high, and, fortunately, there was less traffic on the roads and significantly fewer people on the streets. This is what summer vacation does. 

After returning home, we both had a drink on the balcony - Ági went for water and some healthy snacks, and I had a much-needed coffee - then, while Ági was working, I studied till lunchtime. Since I was on duty, I prepared fish fingers with potato and thinly sliced cucumber and tomato dipped in sugary-salty-"paprikás"-vinegary water. Plus, I made a bit of yoghurt with mustard and sugar to coat the fish fingers gently soaked with lemon. We ate on the balcony, which was divine.

As for my studies: I found two new vocabulary books - "Academic Vocabulary in Use" and "English Vocabulary in Use C1-C2 level" - which make more sense than the B2 and C1 level vocabulary builder books. I'll continue with these new books, but I'll complete the others as well because they contain a few interesting topics I can use while teaching. Not to mention those topics that I haven't spoken or thought about, so these could give me some useful thoughts.

I practised my Tai Chi and Lok Hup Ba Fa sets in the afternoon and then took Abby to the groomer. Her fur was far too long, and walking in the afternoon heat was terribly exhausting for her. After they finished grooming, we returned home, where I took her for her evening walk. Upon coming back to the house, I worked out, so with three sports sessions today, I felt like a champion.

The weather was wonderful. According to Ági's car, the highest temperature was +32°C with clear skies, so summer has arrived. The next few days will be even warmer, although chances are we might receive some rain and inclement weather. I'm not looking forward to it, but "c'est la vie".

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 ...
