Torstai 🇫🇮 Fimmtudagur 🇮🇸

 I visited an old friend today. He's still working for the same company I used to work for 24 years. I woke early in the morning and drove to Budapest. We had a delicious breakfast and a much-needed coffee because I got out of the habit of waking up before the birds.

When I returned home, I had some nosh, drank a coffee, and started putting together the next lesson plan before working in the kitchen. When Ági finished her lesson, I started my shift in the kitchen. I had to sand the walls, clean up the mess, apply the pre-paint liquid, and wash the tiles on the wall and the floor. It took me three hours to complete it. I'll start painting tomorrow morning. According to the user manual, I have to cover the tiles before painting two layers to cover all the patches and the traces of spackling paste. I plan to complete it in the morning; thus, I'll have plenty of time to prepare for the Saturday lesson with Ági and Roya. The weekend will be equally busy because the guy who had promised to send us a quote hasn't emailed anything yet. I'm afraid I'll have to recover the kitchen furniture - another exhausting job to complete.

Anyway, this is it for today, so bye all.

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
