Maanantai 🇫🇮 Mánudagur 🇮🇸

I started the day by studying. After waking up, I had my usual breakfast, pancakes at last! I last had pancakes before the kitchen renovation began on 21 August 2023. I was over the moon when I sat down and ate my pancakes. They were so delicious that I could cry. Anyway, after devouring the nosh and gulping down the much-needed coffee, I buckled down to my books. I took the morning to study because the sky was so cloudy that I thought it was going to rain. And who on earth wants to paint when it's raining?

We had pizza for lunch. Well, when I say pizza, I mean the batter was for pizza, but all other ingredients were atypical for pizzas. Ági put Greek yoghurt, bacon, and cheese on it, which was an exceptionally delicious meal. After I drank my second coffee, I began my second shift: sandpapering the staves. I couldn't finish the job because it took me longer than I'd thought. But I certainly want to complete the tasks this week. Additionally, the afternoon was extremely warm in the back garden. Even though we enjoy this late summer, this is not normal. Our bodies are craving for the season change, and our systems are getting ready for the winter months. Our circadian rhythm also signals the needed change. Due to the longer nights and the long and warm summer, we are more tired.

This week, I'll be able to finish the DIY frenzy. Our neighbour will remove the pile of trash on Friday, the locksmith promised to complete the railing and the stairs, and I'll finish the painting job by Thursday, so all in all, everything falls into place eventually.

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 ...
