Dienstag 🇦🇹

We drove to Oslip today to buy some wine. We spent a long weekend at the winery three years ago and enjoyed the guest house and the wine there. Returning to the hotel with the twelve bottles of wine in the boot, we opted for the scenic route instead of the highway, and it was a wise choice. We crossed a small hill, then small villages, and finally, we arrived at the hotel using roads the locals wouldn't use.

After spending five minutes in the room, we drove to Vienna. We had coffee at Aida: Ági had an iced coffee, and I grabbed a ristretto and a Mozart cake. Then we strolled in the city and visited a public garden and a museum. The exhibition couldn't excite us. It was about sci-fi and indigenous things, but we both found it painfully dull. We then crossed another park to get back to the car and returned to the hotel eventually. The weather is warm. The highest temperature was +32°C, and the next days will be equally hot, which is good news since it is much better to have a summer holiday at +30°C than in rain, wind, and cold. We are knackered. Anyway, tomorrow we will buy things we need, then drive to the city, grab some nosh at Akakiko, visit the Hundertwasser house and the Freud Museum, and return to the hotel.

It's great to be here and spend some quality time together in a city that both of us love and relish.

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
