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.

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
