Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

Today was quite eventful. After waking up - by the way, my nights are better in the cold bedroom, but there is still room for improvement in this segment of my insignificant life - and devouring breakfast with the much-needed coffee, I went down to my new office to continue to separate the needed goods from the not-needed goods. Fortunately, Ági came down to help me, so the two-and-a-half hours we spent there were worth our efforts. My office still looks like a mess, but it is an organised mess this time. Anyway, four more days before our holiday, there is plenty of time to progress and achieve what we want to accomplish.

The wasps that found refuge under our roof feel tickety-boo. The guy, who was supposed to come today to exterminate these uninvited guests, didn't show up. He wasn't even concerned about letting us know whether he would deign to visit us for a displeasingly considerable amount of money. The price - 200 euros - he asked for the job that takes no longer than 45 minutes maximum was extortionate. Luckily, Ági had another guy's telephone number and who was willing to come tomorrow for a fraction of the previous guy's fee. That's capitalism for you.

The English class with Charlette was fantastic. Today's lesson was about the senses, and I learned a few new words and expressions. I enjoyed the conversation, and I'll surely miss next week's lesson. The weather is still lunatic. This morning the highest temperature was +9°C which is ridiculously low in August. If we were in October, such cold mornings wouldn't be surprising. According to the weather forecast, next week will return the dog days. Austria 🇦🇹, we are coming...

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 ...
