Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, grey and about to rain. It’s Mother’s Day, and the weather is very rainy, cold, and miserable. Since I had bought flowers for my mother on Friday for her birthday, buying them again would be a bit repetitive, so the day before, I purchased a Mother’s Day card and one of those surprise Amazon […]
Saturday, the 9th of March 2024: “Among Anticipation, Expectation and Reality”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, bitterly cold, grey and overcast. Unfortunately, or fortunately, today has been a day of revelation, shock and a slight disappointment. During the day, I did my everyday things: writing, shopping for my mother, exercising, feeding the swans and ducks, walking, and visiting the two cafes in the village. In the early afternoon, I shaved, cut […]
Friday, the 8th of March 2024: “Birthday, Flowers and a Connection”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, bitterly cold and grey. It is my mother’s birthday, and I must be a good son and do the right thing. As I have always said, my mother was, is, and has always been a difficult person. Perhaps, in the last 20 years alone, she has paid her debt to society and the family. I […]
Thursday, the 7th of March 2024: “Love and Loneliness Through the Generations”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, bitterly cold but sunny and slightly overcast. Each day, this little woman is becoming more and more present in my life. I am trying to stop myself from being too involved, but she’s invading my heart. When I came to England, I hadn’t thought of getting involved or looking for somebody while staying here, not […]
Wednesday, the 6th of March 2024: “A Heart-warming Conversation”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: -1 degree, foggy, bitterly cold, in the morning but bright and sunny for the rest of the day. At 7:00 a.m., it is bitterly cold, and with the fog, there is a light mist over the back gardens of the houses, reminiscent of old, cheesy horror films. I woke up at 6:30, which is better than usual […]
Tuesday the 5th of March 2024: “Surprises, Gardening and New Deliveries”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: -1 degree, bitterly cold, but a beautiful sunny day with blue skies. Another great day!

Monday the 4th of March 2024: “Reflecting on New Possibilities”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: -2 degrees, bitterly cold, but beautiful day. Monday morning marks the start of the week, and there is a lot to do. Besides giving classes and helping my mother, I need to find out when DJI will be able to deliver my drone and camera, which I bought at the end of February. There seems to be […]

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 0 degrees, bitterly cold, but beautifully sunny with clear blue skies. What a great Sunday – a beautiful day with sunshine and blue skies, although cold. Although nothing was planned, after a hard workout and a shower, I decided to go to Stourbridge. Stourbridge is the second most important town in the region and, arguably, the most […]
Saturday the 2nd of March 2024: “The Arrival and Unboxing of My New Google Watch”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, bitterly cold, grey, dark and damp, and it is throwing it down. Saturday has been a quiet day, but I did receive my present, the new Google Watch 2 that I bought yesterday, and it came today. I already own a digital watch, which I bought when I moved to Copacabana over two years ago. […]
Friday the 1st of March 2024: “Embracing Simplicity and its Beauty”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, bitterly cold, rainy, damp and grey. A morning exercise, not so heavy, but at least I have done something. The weather is constantly changing, making it difficult to plan the day or routine. However, the lesson is not to yield, but to do what you want or need to do, regardless! The big news is […]
