Lauantai 🇫🇮 Laugardagur 🇮🇸

The first half of the day was all about installing Ági's brand-new laptop. She gave in and bought a new MacBook Pro with an M2 chip. Despite its infamously high price, this model was a real bargain, and we didn't have to pay through our noses as much as if we had opted for a technically almost identical MacBook Air, which, surprisingly, was far more expensive. When we finally finished the minor and major updates, it was already lunchtime, so I prepared the meal, which was "Nürnberger Bratwurstchen" with rice and beetroot salad.

After lunch, Ági nodded off, and I sat in the back garden sunbathing, and when my skin started to roast like a turkey in the oven, I took Abby for her afternoon walk. Upon returning home, I prepared the English class I would teach Ági and her friend, Roya, whom she'd met last summer during the CELTA course she'd attended. Since we haven't had any class since the end of March, I planned an easy lesson, mainly speaking and forming words. Considering the feedback I received, they enjoyed my lesson, which was rather surprising. We agreed to continue the Saturday classes and go through the "Ready for Advanced" book. I hope I can deliver...

The weather is improving. Well, "improving" may be a baroque exaggeration, as the temperatures will rise further during the next few days until it reaches its peak around +37°C. The dog days are not over, and so is the stormy weather. We shall expect severe thunderstorms interrupting the heat wave, which won't refresh the air but will cause rainforest-like, unbreathably humid air. I'll move my office to the bathroom and sit in the tub filled with freezing water slurping ice coffee during the next couple of days.
