Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

I had my first class today with a new student. She is a beginner, although she used to learn English by using Duolingo and another application on her phone. I hope she enjoyed our first lesson.

Other than my teaching, I continued my DIY frenzy. I had to sandpaper the walls, but even though the masons had applied the spackling paste, I had to do it again today. The uneven surfaces, little cracks and dents were smiling at me, so I had to do something about them. It took me almost four hours to complete the spackling paste application and clean the kitchen. I also had to cover the tiles with a plastic sheet to protect them from the falling paste, liquid and paint. If I could go back to when I was sixteen or eighteen years old and choose a profession, I would opt for a vocation from the blue-collar niche.

The weather has changed. The highest temperature was around +22°C today, which is cold compared to what we had to suffer from the day before yesterday. Despite the overcast sky, there was no rain over here. Finally, the dog days are over, and we can get back to normal. It was high time the weather changed. The excessive temperatures were beyond our tolerance. Even though the temperatures in Hungary were not as high as in Greece or Italy this summer, the unusually high values shocked everyone. Even Ági was miffed about the long, scorching heat. Anyway, the good news is the bad news. Good, because we don't have to suffer from the heat, but bad, because autumn is around the corner, which means fewer daylight hours and longer dark periods. You can't have it all, can you?

Tomorrow, I'll visit my mate at Siemens. He is a good pal, having gone through some major life-changing and shocking periods in his life. Once we finish our breakfast revels, I'll pop in some stores to buy a paper bag that fits in our hoover, then hurry back home to continue the kitchen renovation.
