Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. Monday is the beginning of the week, and it is always a good start if the weekend was good. The weekend was very good with a day visit to Kinver Edge, and the town for lunch with Julie on the Saturday, and even though we did not meet yesterday […]
Sunday, the 7th of April 2024: “Weathering Kathleen and Reflections on Life, Love, and Change”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. It’s Sunday, and Kathleen, the storm that has hit England. In the West Midlands, where my mother lives, it is incredibly windy, with some wooden fences being blown down in the back garden, and there is a lot of rain and cold. I exercised in the morning and spoke […]
Saturday, the 6th of April 2024: “A Day of Discovery at Kinver Edge”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, sunny, slightly grey and overcast. It is Saturday, the weekend and time to go out with my beautiful, little, perfect woman. She picked me up at about 10:30, and we went to Kinver Edge for the second time with her dog, Austin. The man! We parked the car at the Edge and walked for […]
Friday, the 5th of April 2024: “Kindness, and Poetry at Wordsley Cafe on The Green”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cold, cloudy and rainy. Friday has been a typical day, except that Julie gave me a lift into the local village. I got up, did a heavy workout, had some coffee and gave my first class at 11 a.m. English time. I then got ready to go out. I needed to buy some groceries, but […]
Thursday, the 4th of April 2024: “A Morning Canal Walk”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and chilly, cloudy with bursts of sunshine and trying to rain. I’m up early and exercising in the back living room and outside on the patio. I mentioned to Julie that it would be nice to take an early walk with Austin, her dog, along the canal. She took it literally and called me […]
Wednesday, the 3rd of April 2024: “Routine, Power and Purpose”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, grey, miserable and rainy. I’m glad to be back at work after a long Easter bank holiday, as it was a bank holiday in Brazil on Friday and another in England on Monday, which completely disrupted my routine for staying healthy, productive, and earning money. I faced the same issue in Brazil, where the long […]
Tuesday, the 2nd of April 2024: “True Connection”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and grey with bursts of sunshine. It’s Tuesday, back to work, and I feel relieved. It is always very nice to have time off, a break, a bank holiday or even holidays, but for me, returning to work is a relief. I feel down when I spend a long time without working. I think […]
Monday, the 1st of April 2024: “A Perfect Day: Hagley and The Dog at Harvington”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast, rain in the morning, but the sky is clear with sun later in the day. It is Easter Monday in England, a bank holiday, but a regular working day in Brazil. Brazil’s Easter bank holiday was on Good Friday, and in some cases, it also included Thursday. I was a bit unsure whether […]
Sunday, the 31st of March 2024: “Easter Sunday Lunch at The Green Man-Swindon”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, bitterly cold, grey and rainy. It is Easter Sunday, and the weather is very shitty. I was up later than usual due to my night at the pub, but more importantly, a full day with Julie yesterday. I only got out of bed at 2:00 p.m., after raiding the Kitchen with sandwiches and a couple […]
Saturday, the 30th of March 2024: “A Couple in Stourbridge”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny, warm in the sun but cold in the shade. Saturday was a marathon day, during which I accomplished quite a lot, and for me, the activities of the day were more enjoyable than those at night. It is a beautiful, sunny day — a truly sunny day, with it being warm in the sun […]
