Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hottish and sunny. It is Wednesday, the middle of the week. The weather is unpredictable; sometimes, it rains, sometimes it is sunny, hot, and sticky, and a few times, it is cool. As an English person, I am accustomed to the rain. I do not mind walking in it, and when I had a bike, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is hot, humid, and cloudy. I took Perola for a walk and did some exercise early. It is trying to rain, but it is not succeeding. Thursdays are the days with the most classes, especially in the afternoon when I have a presential class with Dona Vera in Copacabana. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and overcast. A new week, a new month, and the countdown for England has begun. So, what are my goals for this month? I like the number 3. I like things that are multiples of 3. But there is a fourth point. I have not been able to exercise early as often as I […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, overcast and rainy. It has been raining since yesterday, so I cannot exercise outside today. Instead, I will walk with Perola around Flamengo, do some work on the computer, and watch a film before going to bed early. It is the 1st of October, and I have less than two months to go to England […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It was overcast and cool in the morning, but there was no rain. However, there was a lot of rain in the afternoon and at night. It is interesting how the weather can strongly influence us, especially in a city like Rio. Rio is a tropical city, so the norm […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warm, overcast and with showers. It’s Friday, the end of the week. I have a few classes, and then I’ll achieve another milestone. At 2:00 pm this afternoon, I have a dentist appointment to continue the treatment of my teeth, specifically the implants. Everyone has some fear or phobia. Mine was, and still is, to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warm, overcast and with showers. The month is ending. How has it been? It has been an exceptional month. I have been on a roll for the last two or three months, but I cannot relax. There are still a lot of things to do. My two main priorities for next month are as follows: […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. It is the middle of the week. Today, I started with a quick morning exercise and a walk with Perola, followed by a shower. Then, into work. I do not have many classes today because some people are travelling or have other commitments. This gives me time to work on different projects, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. Today, I have to go to Copacabana to give a class to Dona Vera. I don’t really want to go, but getting out of the flat and being in the street is good. Although working from home is very convenient, we must get out, breathe fresh air, walk, and give our brains […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Monday again, the start of a new week and the month’s final week. I will travel to England on November 22nd, less than two months away. The countdown has begun!!! This will be the first time I have been to England in over 22 years, almost a generation. […]
