Sunnuntai 🇫🇮 Vasárnap 🇭🇺 Sunday 🇬🇧

Pre-birthday celebration


I had a terrible night. I couldn't breathe because of my stuffed nose, so I had to wake up and use my nasal spray at 1 a.m. The full moon wasn't helpful either, so if I had to rate my previous night's performance on a scale of ten - where ten is the best - I would say minus one million. Anyway, let's not dwell on a shite night but focus on what today happened.

After waking up and preparing and devouring my beloved cinnamon pancake breakfast, let's not forget the much-needed coffee either, I hopped on my mate's bike that I'd like to buy from him and went for a short trip on it. I had to contain myself during the ride and remind my wee brain to slow down and take an easy ride. (A couple of years ago, I made a huge mistake that my poor heart wasn't happy about.) But boy, was it fantastic! The bicycle, a size 60 KTM Live Action, is fantastic. It is not a high-end model, but just right for me. It could take me from A to B perfectly. The short 9k ride was divine, the weather was fantastic, not too cold or warm, so I enjoyed it very much.

After returning home, we decided to eat out to celebrate Ági's birthday. We ended up at our favourite restaurant in Szentendre - Christine - and had a divine, huge portion of a meal. Both of us had beef stew with sheep-cheese gnocchi. Ági had water and, after finishing the meal, a Hugo cocktail - Prosecco with lime and mint - and I had a bucket-like portion of elderflower drink with lime, orange, and lemon in it.

When we arrived home after this absolutely delicious meal, I took Abby for her afternoon walk, then gave Ági an almost 1,5 hours foot massage and watched a Finnish movie. This language appeals to me more and more. I've got the "Teach yourself" book, so it's only a matter of time before I learn it. Anyway, the weather became so gloomy and grey that I had to nod off, too. The 30-minute coma-like slumber made sure that I spent the rest of the afternoon like a heavily sedated pensioner covered in a blanket and staring at the TV set.

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 ...
