Maanantai 🇫🇮 Mánudagur 🇮🇸

The locksmith came today to install the stairs in the front garden. He arrived on time, at 9 a.m., and left at 1 p.m. He couldn't complete the job because the things that should be at the top of the stairs - some corrugated metal sheets - were smaller than needed. Although he promised to come back tomorrow, we don't have high hopes. While he was working on the stairs, I spent my morning in the kitchen. I wanted to complete the walls because the spackling paste dried. I had to clean the window frame before covering the wall above the window with a plastic sheet to protect the kitchen from the dust from the sandpapering. I couldn't believe it took me four hours to complete the job. Now the kitchen looks new. The white walls are beautiful, the clean window and its frame pop out, and there are no more cracks and dents in the walls.

I tried to learn today but wasn't in the mood to buckle down to it. Actually, it wasn't my mood but the tasks that were waiting for me. To top it off, I had a dentist's appointment at 3:30 p.m., so all I could do was read my homework's writing task and jot down some thoughts.

The weather is still fantastic. I would be over the moon if this could be prolonged for the whole year. +28°C during the day and +16°C during night are amazing temperatures. One more week and the late summer is over. Till then, I can wear my beloved TEVA sandals and shorts.

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
