Torstai 🇫🇮 Fimmtudagur 🇮🇸

The locksmith came this morning to install the stairs in the front garden. He still needs to complete the railing and install the wooden staves. He promised to complete the job next week. We'll see.

While the locksmith was working, I could study a bit. I went through some of the previous lessons with Charlette and buckled down to the homework; however, due to the DIY week, I couldn't complete it.

I prepared lunch for the first time since the kitchen renovation had started. I made "túrós tészta" with bacon. It's a simple dish, but boy, were we enjoying it! It was delicious.

While Ági had a lesson after lunch, I was sandpapering the walls in the hall. When I was ready, we took Abby for her afternoon walk, bought some nosh, and after returning home, I applied the pre-paint solution to the walls. When it dried, I only painted half of the hall because I ran out of paint. Nice. I have to buy a new batch of paint tomorrow. Another visit at the craftsman store.

Other than that, the weather is still unusually warm. The highest temperature was around +27-28°C, which is very warm in the second third of September. This late summer stays until next week, but the tension between summer and autumn is tangible.

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
