Sunnuntai 🇫🇮 Sunnudagur 🇮🇸

After another terrible night's sleep, waking up was not what I'd thought it would be. To top it off, as the fridge and the pantry were empty, I had to run to the local store to buy something to eat. To my horror, it was closed. Usually, the stores are open on Sundays in Hungary, but this one seemed to defy regularity and went against conventions. Fortunately, the bakery was open, so I could buy two buns to save my rumbling stomach from further ordeals. Since this week was extremely busy - the DIY frenzy - I couldn't buckle down to my previously planned activities this morning. Instead, we went to buy a couple of necessary things in IKEA for the kitchen. And while we were there, we had lunch. The Swedish meatballs floated up to our mouths.

After returning home, I applied another layer of water-repellent stuff to the wall. It only took me five minutes, and when I gave Ági a foot massage afterwards, it dawned on me that the pantry and the fridge were still empty. So, once I finished the manual therapy on Ági's feet, I took Abby for her afternoon walk, and after returning home, we drove to the supermarket to buy some nosh.

Despite my aversion towards the DIY activities in our kitchen, I applied another layer of spackling paste to the wall. I wasn't happy while doing it, though. I'll complete the job tomorrow, so this is what gives me some peace. Fingers crossed...

As for my English studies, I haven't been focusing on it lately. It's high time I did something about it, so tomorrow, I'll revise my previous lessons with Charlette and a couple of units from my books. I must get back into the English studies horse saddle.

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 ...
