Torstai 🇫🇮 Fimmtudagur 🇮🇸

I was miffed after waking up and realising how cold it was outside. Going to the local store barefoot, wearing only my beloved TEVA sandals and shorts, was surprisingly refreshing. I had to wear socks and my winter hiking pants to take Abby for her morning walk. Even Abby wouldn't want to spend more time outside than necessary. She did what she had to, and after finishing her business, she turned back and pulled me home like a lunatic husky after spotting another squirrel in the snow.

I managed to complete the living room today. I went to fetch a wooden shelf for the kitchen counter, sandpapered it and applied a layer of flax seed and tung oil I'd bought in IKEA the other day. I left it outside for four hours to dry, and once the time was off, I took and installed it. It looks fantastic, and now the living room level is complete. No more DIY tools lying about or unfinished parts of the story screaming for someone to complete them. As for the DIY project, I'm quite pleased with myself, if I'm being honest. A few minor tasks remain to be completed, but most work is finished. I still need to figure out when to paint my office, though; perhaps next year. There is one more job I must deal with: the railing in the front garden. I don't know how to find time to complete this task because this is not only painting the wooden barrels but also grinding them as the ultraviolet radiation blackened their surface.

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
