Lauantai 🇫🇮 Laugardagur 🇮🇸

The electrician came back today to install two new plugs. He came by at 7:30 a.m. and left at 10 a.m. After his "visit", we went to IKEA to buy a few cases for the new kitchen shelf and have lunch at the Swedish restaurant. Both of us had meatballs and a caramel apple pie. And since we need more things, we'll go back to IKEA to buy them tomorrow. Repacking kitchen utensils takes more time and effort than we thought. I anticipated a light two-hour-long single-man process, but I couldn't have been more wrong. It'll never end. Tomorrow, I'll have a lot to do:

I must paint the lower side of the house and bury the trench I dug the other day to prevent water leakage.
I must apply spackling paste to the walls and then paint them.
I must select the waist we want to get rid of, so the hole next week seems to be busy again.

The weather is beautiful, though. Mornings and evenings are chilly, but the days are still warm, with the highest temperature of +30°C. According to the weather forecast, we'll have the same weather until next Wednesday, when autumn will replace the summer mood. The foliage shows the imminent seasonal change already, as the hues and the saturation have become dimmer. On the one hand, I love it. On the other hand, because it reminds me of the passing by representing the slow dying of nature, I'm not too fond of it.

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
