Donnerstag 🇦🇹

After waking up, we went downstairs to have another perfect breakfast; and it was perfect. The selection and quality of food on offer is baffling, and the staff is top-notch superb. We got to know a Hungarian guy who is a real professional. He walked up and down the venue, checking the details and clearing the tables once a guest finished eating. He asked us whether we had any extra requests besides what they offered for breakfast. We then asked him what was worth visiting, and he was willing to help us make a perfect plan for the day. He recommended visiting Baden, a small spa town 26 kilometres from Vienna, and checking a local restaurant - here it is called Heuriger - if we wanted to have a traditional Wiener Schnitzer made of calf. We jumped at the suggestions, so after breakfast, we jumped in the car and drove to "SCS" to buy some goods. We headed for the car with goods in our bags, but instead of continuing our trip to Baden, my bowels decided otherwise, so we left the venue for the hotel. I had to spend a good few minutes meditating on surviving the Akakiko menu from the previous day. When I was ready to resume our plan, it was already hot outside. When we made our way to Baden, the weather was excellent.
We took a long walk in the town, visiting the main square and some places one might want to see there. Since Baden is a small town, taking a one-hour stroll provides enough opportunity to see almost everything there. As our time ended there, we jumped in the car and drove to the Wambacher Heuriger in Vienna, recommended by the guy in the restaurant. By the end of our stay at the restaurant, I was almost crying because the food was so effing delicious. The Wiener Schnitzer wag a massive slice of calf covered with the special coating, and the potato salad as the side dish with the cowberry jam crowned the much-coveted culinary experience. We thought we couldn't take this food experience to a higher level, but the Kaiserschmarrn we ordered was out of this world. The fluffy pastry with raisin and plum jam provided a once-in-a-lifetime delight. It was costly, but this money was well spent. And what is more, we reserved a table for two for tomorrow, so before our revels end here in Austria, we will have another perfect dish to make this holiday even more unforgettable.
These few days in Austra were the best I've ever had during a holiday!

Tiistai 🇫🇮 Þriðjudagur 🇮🇸

My day was alright. I rearranged the shelves in the basement, which took me two hours to complete. I could have spent more time rearranging, but I had to deal with my homework before the class this afternoon. I had to read a story and summarise its content, write about the characters, and describe my impression. Even though the weather forecast predicts warmer days, the presence of autumn is palpable. The nights are much colder than a week ago, and the morning walks with Abby are faster due to the chilly temperature. I quite like the lower temperature and enjoy taking cold showers in the evenings because they refresh my body. However, I miss my summer sandals, shorts, and T-shirts. Walking Abby without having to don my jacket and put on several other layers was much easier. The English class with Charlette was fantastic. The sixty minutes flew by like a bullet train. I feel lucky to learn from her. After the lesson, I prepared my high tea cocoa pancakes. I love pancakes. When I devoure...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮

We watched the last episode of Bordertown. Now the series is over and won't be available on Netflix anymore. Moreover, they don't plan to shoot another season yet, so chances are we were lucky to have watched the complete three seasons. Anyway, "Vive le Finnish-Hungarian friendship and Uralic languages!" 🇫🇮🇭🇺 After Ági left for the university, I sat down to study. I received four tasks yesterday from Charlette, and I finished the open cloze text and made some notes on the vocabulary part of the lesson. Now ask me anything about "wear out", "hanker for", "wind up", "drop in on", drop in", "cloak", "spectre", "orb", and "mace". Writing a report, explaining the gist of a video to a B1 level student, and writing a letter to an editor of a magazine are left to be completed. When I finished studying, I made some lunch: the menu was pita-bread with Greek yoghurt and veggies - tomato, spr...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

After a not-so-good night's sleep - I had a terrible dream; a lion wanted to chase me down and eat me - I woke up like a log. Little did I know about how chilly the outside temperature was when I took Abby for her morning walk. Both of us hurried back home. It took me two hours to create the lesson plan before my dentist's appointment, but I did it eventually. Since my temporary bridge had fallen off yesterday, I went to the dentist without it. Anyway, I'll have a new bridge next Wednesday if things pan out. I had a lesson with Ági's student this afternoon. I enjoyed the class and hope the students were also content with it. But the afternoon traffic is lethal. On the way home, there were numerous collisions, and I even saw two cars in the ditch. Crazy drivers should stay indoors. The weather is changing. It's still not typical of October, but the first signs of autumn are visible. The foliage is not as fresh green as it used to be during summer, and the nights are ...
