Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny with showers. It is curry night at Wetherspoons. Julie likes Indian food, specifically curries, and it is curry night at every Wetherspoons in England every Thursday. Funny enough, there is no discount or special price for Thursdays, and Indian curries are offered all week round during Curry night at Wetherspoons. I woke up […]
Wednesday, the 17th of April 2024: “Back to Corbett’s Hospital After So Long”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, chilly, sunny and slightly overcast. Today is the day I am taking a blood test, the first in a long time. The last time I voluntarily had a blood test was when I was dating Jacqueline over six years ago. However, during my emergency appendicitis operation, several blood tests were likely carried out at […]
Tuesday, the 16th of April 2024: “West Brom’s Quirks and Stress”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, chilly, sunny and slightly overcast. Tuesday is the day I usually visit the two building societies in Kingswinford village for my mother. She receives money at one and pays her bills at the other, which isn’t very logical. I’ve suggested she simplify this by having just one account for both, but she doesn’t want […]
Monday, the 15th of April 2024: “Cafe Politics”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, rainy and overcast. It is Monday, following a busy weekend spent going to various places with Julie.

It was important […]

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, warmish, sunny but slightly overcast. Saturday was an action-packed day, with Julie and me visiting multiple places, some planned and others not. I was tired in the evening, so it was great to get a good night’s sleep of more than six hours, which is really beneficial for me. I was up quite early […]
Saturday, the 13th of April 2024: “Greyhounds, and Much More”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warmish and overcast. Saturday morning, the weather is a little iffy, but hopefully it will clear up so we can see the dogs.

Friday, the 12th of April 2024: “Cafes, Connections and Amazing Baltis”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cool, sunny and slightly overcast. Friday is a day filled with movement in the morning and evening. Waking early, a brief half-hour chat on the phone with Julie, then exercise, a blog post, and out into the street. It is Friday, so I don’t usually have any classes early, which allows me to do […]

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, warm, sunny but slightly overcast. Thursday, a typical day with classes, resolving problems and online work until late in the evening.

Wednesday, the 10th of April 2024: “Simple Things: Coffee and Company”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, grey, rainy and miserable. It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week. If I were in Brazil in the past, it would have been an excuse to go out, meet someone, buy some beers or wine, have a drink, and listen to some good music or watch a film. I could go out with […]
