HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!

I spent the day with my new friend, ChatGPT. I found new ways to enhance and improve my inputs to get the best answers from AI, and today it worked like a charm. This large language model - depending on the input, of course - can be a terribly useful tool to help improve one's English. However, the only caveat one should keep in mind while trying to get familiar with this tool is it requires precise input; otherwise, it cannot produce useful answers.

Apart from my AI session, the locksmith came to finish the fence in the back garden, and it looks amazing. The frame is black, the slates are white, and it looks beautiful. Not to mention how useful it is because we can sit in our little garden with Abby without keeping an eye on her because the fence prevents her from running about in the common garden - which, by the way, is a complete shambles. The next turn is the front garden, where we need stairs and a fence to go out there with Abby. 

The weather was hot today. The storm that devastated the southern part of the country didn't bring hail over our town, only some rain which made the air humid today. The weekend and the first two days of next week will bring scorching heat, but it won't be as bad as in Southern Europe. They predict +49°C in various parts of Italy and the Mediterranean region will resemble hell on Earth. Greetings to all global warming deniers!

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

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
