Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. I’m still on a roll. Today is another benchmark or a day of reference. The papers that were sent from my mother’s solicitors in England in June have finally arrived. We are in September, and I have been waiting for these documents for over two months. I thought they may […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. It’s the middle of the week again. Half of the week has passed, and the other half is yet to come. However, this is a bit of a lie because today is the eve of a bank holiday. Tomorrow will be Brazilian Independence Day, the 7th of September. Traditionally, on […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. I’ve been taking Perola with me when I go to the park to work out more. She needs the exercise because when I arrived in Botafogo, she was extremely overweight for a dog. She was also taking corticosteroids because of her allergy problems. This issue is common with dogs, especially […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Monday, and I have been blogging for two days now. I have posted three times, and I’m still on a roll – it’s been about a month, and I don’t intend to stop now. I wake up early and head to the bakery, waiting for it to open […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. I have been highly productive for the past two weeks, and it doesn’t seem that will change anytime soon. Ever since I received my Brazilian ID, everything has fallen into place. The first post officially completed the long process of getting my first website/blog up and running. I originally planned […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot and sunny. I had another big day, even though it wasn’t planned that way. I got up early and went to the park for an intense workout. Afterwards, I stopped by the Portuguese bakery for a coffee and to journal. Nowadays, I write about 90% of my journal entries at the bakery in the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm, cloudy and slightly sunny. It’s September, just a little over two months until I go to England. It will be my first time in over 20 years. I feel selfish asking myself how September could top August, which was amazing and surreal. This month, I plan to focus on creating more content for my […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, cloudy but slightly sunny. Now I need to press on with the second site, “Place beads,” and prepare the first posts of “The long gringo.” The first posts of “The Long Gringo” won’t be a journal post but an introduction to the world. It’s already been prepared; I just need to find some good […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, cloudy but slightly sunny. It’s the middle of the week, but it’s almost the end of the month. It’s been quite a month, and everything seems to be falling into place. I may be repeating myself, but I haven’t accomplished this much in such a short time in a while. Everything has come together […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, cool, cloudy but slightly sunny. I got to resolve a big problem with the contact page of ‘The Long Gringo’. After hundreds of attempts, the hosting company fixed it within two minutes. I realised something was wrong with the webpage and the email account settings. I contacted the hosting company through their chat service, and […]
