Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

This is not an ordinary day for various reasons.


Firstly, last night, the storm swept away the heat wave, which was just as well. It was high time nature did something about the unbearable warmth.

Secondly, the storm left behind colder temperatures, so instead of suffering from the rainforest-like climate and wearing only a flip-flop, a t-shirt, and a short, I had to jump in my pullover in the afternoon.

And thirdly, or most importantly, I took Abby to the dog sitter today for a couple of days to test how she copes with being far away from us. (Since we can't take her with us because she can't deal with new situations and/or locations easily and calmly, it is impossible to imagine any activity beyond her usual realm.) We thought it would be easy to spend some days without her, but we couldn't have been more wrong. The house is not the same without her. Despite her peculiarities, she filled the air with joy and happiness and brought sunshine over our grim little life. I really didn't expect such a silently screaming  thrumming void in my core. The dog sitter promised to call us tomorrow, telling us how Abby coped with the new location and "friends". We both are so excited. And it might be only us who think this is a big deal, and she will crack under the weight of a new and unusual situation, as she might enjoy the distance and the novelty in her wee life. What an unexpected oddity this is. 

Effing hell, I miss her, terribly!

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
