Lauantai 🇫🇮 Laugardagur 🇮🇸

I won't write about my shitty nights anymore. It's not worth dwelling on something awful, even though it significantly impacts my days. So, after waking up, devouring breakfast and slurping the much-needed coffee, we set ourselves into waiting mode. The locksmith had promised to install the stairs in the front garden today but didn't show up. He called us to let us know that the paint couldn't dry, so he'd come next Monday instead of today. We got so upset that we had to visit two craftsman stores today.

Anyway, I could study a bit today. Not as much as I thought I would, but you can't have it all, can you? The tiresome running about between the stores took time, so I could only deal with the lesson plan for my next class with Ági's students and a bit of revision. Tomorrow, we'll have another round in IKEA, and besides buying things, we'll have lunch there. At least the Swedish food and the coffee are delicious.

The weather is unbelievably good. The highest temperature was around +26°C, although the sky was cloudy. The next few days will be similar, which is unusual around this time of the year over here. I don't mind it because I can still wear my beloved TEVA sandals while walking in the streets. It's pitch dark outside at 7 p.m., which vexes me tremendously. The dark months are not my cup of tea!

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...

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 ...
