Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, grey, cloudy and rainy. It is Monday of the last week of the month, and I have been living with my daughter and her mother. For the most part, it has been tranquil and pleasant; there have only been a few occasions of stress or disagreement. It is not easy for a man my age […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny with clear blue skies. Now that I live in Botafogo going to Urca on foot is more straightforward than going from Copacabana. Urca is one of the most remarkable neighbourhoods in Rio. Its small bucolic side streets, views of the Bay from The Mureta, which lines a large part of Urca, army […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy later. It is Saturday, the weather forecast is for sun, and everything is good. Today, my early routine was a little different. Instead of going straight to the baker’s for a coffee after my workout, this time, I decided to go home first and then go. Why? Because it […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy later. Friday was a lucky day; my 7 am class was cancelled, and I pushed my 8 am class back one hour to 9 am, so now I am free from when I get up until nine. This means I can do a hard workout and do my things […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy later. In the past, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would begin classes at 8 am, so they were the days where I could have a heavy workout as there were no time restrictions. Since the middle of this month, I have begun to give classes to a new pupil […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hot, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy. It is the middle of the week, and it is going extremely well. I am not anxious, I am not counting the time, I am not counting the classes, I am good. One of the reasons for this is my healthy early morning routine, which I have created and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy. This is the week I begin developing the seven sites. I have installed WordPress on all the sites and their respective email accounts. There is one problem with the main account, but I know it will eventually be resolved. There has been a lot of progress in just one […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot, sunny, clear and slightly cloudy at the end of the day. It is the first working day of the week, and even though Yasmin is not talking to me, my name is still Dirt; I’m happy because my weekend was enjoyable. On Saturday, I visited a friend and later went to Marina da Gloria, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot, sunny, clear blue sky. When I was married, I would say that Sunday was my favourite day and that Sunday morning, nobody knew my name. It wasn’t Dad, it wasn’t Richard, nobody knew it, I didn’t answer to any name. I was free to do whatever I wanted: read a newspaper or a book, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. What a wonderful day! I am temporarily living with my ex-wife and my youngest daughter. This idea began when I had to give back my flat in Copacabana to the owner, who needed it due to her family’s needs. The apartment was not mine, so naturally, I had to go, […]
