A definite progress

Even though I woke up several times during the night, I still didn't feel tired after getting out of bed. Despite the slight fatigue and the still annoying slight brain fog, I found my mind in a much better condition than it had been a few days ago when even the easiest job - walking Abby - had seemed terribly complicated. COVID is a nasty virus, and I can't help but think how much worse the original version of it was when it hit the world, causing so many casualties. Nevertheless, since my mind functions much better, I can finally buckle down to my homework and book some lessons with Charlette. I miss her lessons, terribly.

Anyway, we decided to run some errands today, and after a three-week-long quarantine, we ventured out into the world. Well, we picked up Ági's delivery, posted a few things, bought some nosh and toilet requisites, ate junk food at Burger King, and returned home. I know devouring some undigestible burgers wasn't the best choice we could make, but this was what we were craving, interestingly.

The weather is still warmer the it usually is in January, but this tendency won't last long. The weather forecast predicts the return of winter in Sunday, which means we need to grab our expedition garments and clothes should we want to go out for a walk with Abby. I don't mind the colder period as this is the natural order in winter on this side of the globe.

Sadly, we watched the last episode of One Foot in the Grave the previous evening. Even though it was a sad end to the series, we looked back on all the previous episodes with a certain kind of imbecile-like smile on our faces. The genius of the series lay in the fact that the presence of these two fictional characters on screen had become imperceptibly part of our days. Furthermore, the performance of the actors was superb. We really miss this extraordinarily unique and genius series.

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
