Sunnuntai 🇫🇮 Sunnudagur 🇮🇸

We returned two wireless chargers to IKEA because they wanted to do something other than their job. Luckily, despite the mass that "greated" us, the return process was quick. And while there, we thought having lunch at the Swedish restaurant would be brilliant. Ági had salmon, and I had Swedish meatballs; both were delicious. We bought some necessary goods and rushed back home.

I gave Ági a foot massage, and when I finished, I immediately fell into a deep coma-like state. Not even the after-dinner coffee could have prevented me from sleeping like a log this afternoon. When I woke up, it was already 14:30, but it took me another hour to come to. I was so peckish when I regained consciousness that I had to eat something. The "kifli" we bought on the way home with butter and plum jam - my favourite - was just what I needed.

The afternoon was rather prolific. I built a contraption, more precisely, an extension that supports what I have on my desk, which contains my books and stationeries. I now have plenty of space to hit the keyboard while my books are open between the edge of my desk and the keyboard. It took me two hours to build it and rearrange the office, but those two hours were well spent.

The locksmith promised to come tomorrow to complete the railing in the front garden. Fingers crossed that he keeps his promises. The paint on the staves dried completely. Tomorrow, I only must correct a few patches and paint the top of each rod three more times to get the perfect result. Painting them will be easy since the weather is still unusually warm. Even though the early mornings are chilly, the days are summer-like. We love it.

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...

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 ...
