Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 23 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. A Monday of difference, two major decisions, and upsets in my life. One is both good and bad, and the other is very good. Firstly, I finished with Julie. We had been talking since last Thursday, and although it was OK, it wasn’t the same since I have […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 24 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Julie contacted me yesterday, or on Friday. I can’t remember exactly, but it was the first time in almost a month. She asked me to call her. I did, and the conversation was a little cold at first, with both of us a little defensive. As we began […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 24 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Today has been a delightful day spent at the Rio Yacht Club with my daughter, Yasmin, and friends. Early in the morning, both Yasmin and I got up and went out to exercise. Before going to the park, we stopped by the Portuguese bakers for breakfast. We both […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 28 degrees, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Friday again, one more day in my life. It is good because it shows that I’m still alive and still fighting for what I want. Yesterday I had an online meeting with Alex, the web designer and programmer, so from now on he should be putting […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 29 degrees, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. Stuff is getting done, and I like it when I am making progress, improving, and when important problems or obstacles are resolved. At the beginning of the week, I spoke to Renato, a pupil of mine who works in IT, specifically in software development and programming. I need […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 25 degrees, warm, sunny and with a blue sky. Today I had a pleasant surprise. Jim, the Scottish owner of the more sophisticated cafe in Wordsley, sent me a message. He is Julie’s boss, and over the months I was there, we began to build a kind of friendship. I like him, the cafe is […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 23 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Tuesday, the beginning of the second half of the year. I always think the second half is usually better than the first. The first half was good for me, so in theory, the second half has to be better, at least as good if not better. […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 21 degrees, warm, overcast, with rain and stormy. It is Monday, the 1st of July, the first day of the second half of 2024. Yesterday, I did a simple valuation and overview of the first half of the year, covering being in England, Julie, living with my mother, etc. Now I would like to set […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 19 degrees, warm, overcast and with rain. It is the end of June, the last day of the month, and the first half of this year is over. Tomorrow, 1 July, will be the first day of the second half of the year. Has the first half of the year been good for me? On […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 28 degrees, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is Saturday, and I haven’t spoken to Julie for about a week. Over the last couple of days, I have had a kind of crisis, wanting to send her a message and thinking about her too much, but I had to control myself. I don’t believe a […]
