The Unfairly Neglected Weather

I could have described the weather recently, but I spent my days improving and crafting prompts instead. To compensate for my ignorance towards nature, I'll temporarily halt my input writing and goad my wee mind into a weatherman's skin. So, yesterday, and the day before yesterday, was horrific as gale force wind battering the country hard, though less harmful than England's. The garden furniture's cover sheet on our balcony produced a never-before-heard noise while the wind blew it about. It sounded like a typical Hungarian "betyár", aka bandit, cracking his whip ferociously. The shades knocked on the window like a forger while crafting swords for an entire marauding army, car sirens went off, and the wind played a weird tune on its whistler. Sleeping in this out-of-this-world cacophony proved more challenging than climbing Mount Everest without oxygen tanks. Eventually, Mother Nature got tired of this vicious air flow and tamed it into a gentle breeze. It was just about time, as the streets were littered with twigs and branches, and some of the bins left their contents as the wind knocked them over.

It's all quiet now. Apart from exceptionally miffed crows that were flying about over the houses and a couple of confused canines that still barked from the previous days' experiences, one can hear their heartbeats; that's how loud silence is.

When I woke up this morning, I knew the day wouldn't be an active one. Nothing sinister happened that would have suggested anything unexpected; it was rather one of those intuitions that depicted how the events of the day would unfold. This gut feeling strengthened when I grabbed Abby's leash and took her for her early morning walk. She was as inactive as I was, and the speed and length of our walk corroborated this theory. We ambled back to the house momentarily. After this painfully short-lived stroll with a surprisingly exhausted canine, I sat in front of the TV, munched my breakfast and slurped the much-needed black nectar in the form of a strong espresso. What a surreal still-life this was. Especially considering how many episodes we have watched from one of the currently watched series. As my system started to absorb the caffeine, switching my wee brain into the first gear, the haze dissipated over today's schedule. Harnessing this ephemeral clear state, I rushed into...

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...

Montag 🇦🇹

We are in Austria. After waking up and devouring breakfast, Ági took Abby to the dog daycare, and I packed my things for the journey. We set out at eleven o'clock, washed the car, and hit the road to get here. The highway was busy, so it took us three hours to reach Parndorf, where we had lunch at Nordsee and drank coffee at Tommy Hilfiger. We did some shopping, only bought the necessary goods and left for the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 4 p.m., checked in, and drove off to another shopping centre to buy other goods we couldn't find in Parndorf. The hotel is quite nice from the inside. However, the facade and the overall look from the outside seem rather outdated; we felt like being in one of Budapest's hotels. Anyway, the staff is alright, the room is clean, and the view is breathtaking. Since tomorrow is a national holiday here, we'll visit a winemaker in Oslip to buy quality wine - Passatutti. We planned to have "Wiener Schnitzel" there and spend the ...
