Late April in early February

Adjusting to this new sleep routine could be the ticket to acceptance. Despite its initial challenges, I must grow accustomed to the restless nights rather than expecting to drift off effortlessly like a walrus with a belly full of fish. The mystery of how I could blackout in a split second when battling COVID-19 remains bewildering. Yet, dwelling on the recent nights’ trials serves little purpose when more pressing matters demand attention. What’s the use of moaning about sleepless nights anyway? Will it erase them from my already wonky memory? Not likely. Instead, I’ll focus on achieving my goals and bolstering my health.

Talking of health, since the weather was so beautiful, we wanted to take Abby, our little four-legged rascal, for her afternoon walk. We thought we would kill two birds with one stone by taking her with us and enjoying the mellifluous weather in her company. We couldn’t have been more wrong. She made it clear how she felt about our plan as she trudged along with a hangdog expression. Sensing her discomfort, we promptly took her home, sparing her further distress. Was she over the moon after entering the flat?

Embracing the unseasonably warm weather reminiscent of late April, we ventured out for a walk with Abby. After such a gloomy winter and the COVID-19 infection, we had to endure, this little mellifluous jaunt was what we unconsciously craved. According to the latest forecast, this fleeting taste of spring is set to continue, offering a much-needed lift to our spirits.

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...

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...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

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 ...
