Sunnuntai 🇫🇮 Sunnudagur 🇮🇸

Both of us could feel the impact of yesterday's tremendous amount of work. After waking up, I realised how tired Ági was. The morning walks with Abby are usually her duties. However, she was so exhausted today that I had to take over the task. No sooner had it poured down than we made our way back home. The early morning cold shower with hail wasn't precisely my espresso's perfect replacement, but it opened my eyes.

The morning passed quickly, and apart from browsing the internet looking for shelves we could use in the kitchen, not much happened. Ági had a meeting with her colleagues, and after it was over, we jumped in the car and drove to buy some junk food. Again. When we devoured the nosh, I gave Ági a foot massage, and then I took Abby for her afternoon walk when it dawned on me how much I had to work on the kitchen worktop.

Its state was dreary, and I wasn't convinced about the use of epoxy resin. My suspicion became stronger after reading the user manual on the side of the container, so we jumped in the car and drove back to the craftsmen's store. We bought a drill with which I made a bigger hole and some wooden corks that fit into the hole, making it invisible. It took me two minutes to complete this task, so the kitchen worktop is ready for sanding and varnishing. The carpenter guy never called us back nor sent us a quote, so instead of waiting for this nitwit, we took matters into our own hands and acted accordingly. It's cheaper, quicker, and less stressful.

I can't deal with my English studies as long as the kitchen is a mess, at least not as much and intensively as I want to. I know I should find other ways to learn or at least read, but the fact of the matter is: since my mind is so preoccupied with the kitchen renovation - plus I have to think instead of the craftsmen - that whenever I sit down for a minute or two, my mind automatically starts to list the remaining to-dos. I'll do my best and try to complete it next week.

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
