Perjantai 🇫🇮 Föstudagur 🇮🇸

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!

Chillaxing

When I woke up this morning, I knew the day wouldn't be an active one. Nothing sinister happened that would have suggested anything unexpected; it was rather one of those intuitions that depicted how the events of the day would unfold. This gut feeling strengthened when I grabbed Abby's leash and took her for her early morning walk. She was as inactive as I was, and the speed and length of our walk corroborated this theory. We ambled back to the house momentarily. After this painfully short-lived stroll with a surprisingly exhausted canine, I sat in front of the TV, munched my breakfast and slurped the much-needed black nectar in the form of a strong espresso. What a surreal still-life this was. Especially considering how many episodes we have watched from one of the currently watched series. As my system started to absorb the caffeine, switching my wee brain into the first gear, the haze dissipated over today's schedule. Harnessing this ephemeral clear state, I rushed into...

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 ...

Progress

After a terrible night on the sofa - I'd been awake till 4 a.m. - I woke up like a rag-doll at 6 a.m. when the alarm went off. Ági rushed down to check up on me, and, judging by her look, I must have looked like a sun-dried larva. My stomach is still unable to deal with anything besides bananas, potatoes and vegetable juices. However, I've been thinking of having a massive portion of Wiener Schnitzel for days. I wish I could sink my teeth into that beautiful slice of meat in the picture... We certainly must get a Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna during Ági's scholarship in May. Anyway, despite my dizzy head, I started learning, and I could finish the second and the review 1-2 units today. The CAE book (Straight to Advanced) doesn't seem too challenging; however, I mustn't be preposterous and complacent and I have to focus on completing the CAE exam with flying colours. There were a few unknown idioms and phrasal verbs, which imply that I mustn't forget how to proceed ...
