Weekly Digest

A cracking idea occurred to me as the alarm went off and shattered the silence at 6:00 a.m. this morning. Initially, I was ready to grumble about another night of tossing and turning when this plan surfaced from the depths of my brain, which, let's face it, is a rather gross exaggeration considering how limited my grey matter's capacity is. Even I was surprised by it: it seemed like a mirage at first. As my CPU started its booting sequence, the haze vanished into thin air, leaving behind a clean strategy. On a side note, capturing such moments in my life when an idea presents itself out of the blue in a split second with intricate details never fails to amaze me. The mind is a stupefying organic tool. 

After devouring the usual pancake breakfast and sipping the much-needed caffeine, giving an extra jolt to my already revved-up engine, I dashed to my humble little office in the basement to kick off my morning routine. Despite a pounding head urging me to put the plan into words, I had to push myself to stick to my schedule, which included early morning gymnastics and "don-yus" - a sort of Chinese squatting technique.

Anyway, after having done my exercises, I settled down with an excited heart, and I compelled myself to slow down, think through and jot down the details of the plan, which are: instead of writing about my actual Sunday, I'll give a sort of synopsis of the events that shaped my preceding days. Two reasons guided this decision: firstly, to practise my summarising technique, which is handy for essay writing, and secondly, to relish events close to my heart, thus slowing down the irrationally fast passage of time. A cracking idea, wouldn't you say?

So, this time next week, I'll write about my previous days and keep all the relevant events during the week in mind to summarise them. 

Yee-ee-ee-haaaaaaa!

Chillaxing

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 ...
