Tiistai 🇫🇮 Þriðjudagur 🇮🇸

I finished the kitchen today. It wasn't easy, but I did it. After applying a silicon sealing layer to the sink and the tiles, I had to wait a few hours before placing the kitchen items back in their places. While the silicon was drying, I made a few plans to continue with the DIY week. Since the hall needs sandpapering and painting, I'll sacrifice tomorrow morning to complete the job. The sandpapering will take the most time and effort, as the painting requires merely thirty minutes. Okay, I need to paint the walls twice to cover all the patches, but it will look amazing.

Charlette's English class was phenomenal. Today was the first time I felt how fluent my speech was while conversing with her. We were talking about difficult topics, and there was no hiccup, cringe pauses, or stuttering on my part. I think I'm on the right path, and my progress is tangible. I'm so happy!

The weather was strange today. The morning was cold, rainy, and gloomy, but the afternoon brought back summer. Today's weather reminded me of my childhood when we went to a fencing camp at the end of August in Balatonfüred. The days were warm, but the afternoons and nights were cold. I still can recall the feelings, smells, and noises. I loved it, and at the same time, I hated it, however controversial it might sound. I was glad to be away from my family, but I didn't like to be among those plonkers. And yet, being at the camp was light-years better than being home with my family. Sounds savage, I know, but that's the truth.

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 ...
