Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, warmer with a grey sky and with the sun trying to appear. It’s Sunday, cold, and everybody is waiting for a storm that is supposedly arriving late today. It’s already windy, but nothing can stop me from going out for a walk. I’m leaving home at about 8:30 and I’m going straight to the canal […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, overcast and grey with the possibility of rain and snow. My mother is not well. This is the first time since her knee surgery that she is not well or has some pain or side effects. She’s with diarrhoea and in the morning, whilst downstairs, she tried to rush to the bathroom, but it […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: -3 degrees during the night. During the day, it is 3 degrees with sun and blue skies. It’s bitterly cold in Wordsley, but still sunny, which is a plus! I’m trying to get up early, but as I’ve mentioned before, it seems almost impossible until now. The three-hour difference also seems to coincide with my 8:00 a.m. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 0 degrees, very cold, but a beautiful sunny day with blue skies. I am having difficulty getting up early here as I normally do in Rio. In Rio, I wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. and head out for morning exercise at 5:30. Here in England, I’ve tried to replicate this routine by setting the alarm […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, very cold, with light grey skies and no snow. I’m writing this entry on Friday, the 19th, two days after today. Usually, I write an entry at the end of the same day or the next, so that it is generally fresh in my mind. Nowadays, with the amount of things we cram into each […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, very cold, sunny and with a beautiful, clear blue sky. Today, I have to run errands for my mother in the street, in addition to teaching classes, blogging, and journaling. My mother receives her pension, I think every Monday or Tuesday, every week, in one account and pays her bills every Wednesday in another bank […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, cold, snowy, but the sun is shining with a beautiful, clear blue sky. It’s Monday, the start of the week. I’ve lost count of how many weeks I’ve been in England, probably about seven or eight. I woke up to a beautiful, bitterly cold day with a thin layer of snow on the ground from […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, sunny, overcast and rainy-everything imaginable and always cold. A Sunday full of surprises! Yesterday, I arranged with the head nurse at the hospital that before my mother is sent home by ambulance, someone would call me to inform me and to help me prepare for her arrival. It is midday and I haven’t received any […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold and dull. After having a very fruitful meeting with Carl last night, although it cleared up some questions and doubts, it also raised other questions that I had not previously considered. Many questions had already been considered before meeting Carl, while others had not. But after having a fascinating and enlightening talk with him, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, wet, damp and grey. It’s the end of the week, and I don’t have any classes today. Some pupils are still travelling, while others are not yet ready to return to their regular 100% schedule, and unfortunately, that includes English classes. Some will only be back to full steam after Carnival, which is a […]
