Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot, sunny, clear and slightly cloudy at the end of the day. It is the first working day of the week, and even though Yasmin is not talking to me, my name is still Dirt; I’m happy because my weekend was enjoyable. On Saturday, I visited a friend and later went to Marina da Gloria, […]
Sunday the 21st of May 2023:“A Peaceful Walk-Through Urca and its Mureta”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot, sunny, clear blue sky. When I was married, I would say that Sunday was my favourite day and that Sunday morning, nobody knew my name. It wasn’t Dad, it wasn’t Richard, nobody knew it, I didn’t answer to any name. I was free to do whatever I wanted: read a newspaper or a book, […]
Saturday the 20th of May 2023:“A Temporary Solution to Life’s Challenges”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. What a wonderful day! I am temporarily living with my ex-wife and my youngest daughter. This idea began when I had to give back my flat in Copacabana to the owner, who needed it due to her family’s needs. The apartment was not mine, so naturally, I had to go, […]
Friday the 19th of May 2023:“Creating a Healthy Morning Routine”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Friday and almost the weekend. I have created a healthy routine where I get up early and exercise daily. Even before physically getting out of bed, I do three exercises. As soon as I am up, I make my bed, which is folding up the bed linen, putting it away […]
Thursday the 18th of May 2023:“A Thursday Escape”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is Thursday, and it is a good day. Tomorrow will be Friday, and then the weekend, but now it is Thursday, and I have plans for today. I have the usual early morning routine: up early, exercise, coffee, preparation before the classes, etc. One of my pupils, an old […]
Wednesday the 17th of May 2023:“Morning Power: Overcoming Limitations”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Wednesday, the middle of the week and everything is good. The classes are going well, and I am taking some very nice photos of Aterro and Flamengo. Early morning photography is very gratifying. The light is perfect, there are few people out in the street who could spoil a shot, […]
Tuesday the 16th of May 2023:“Navigating Life as a Parent”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, warmish, sunny, and beautiful clear blue skies. Tuesday, and my name is Dirt at home. Since I decided to try to force my younger daughter to change her habits and her routine, consequently changing her future, she is clearly showing her disapproval by trying to make my life hell at home. Purposefully showing that she […]
Monday the 15th of May 2023:“A Father’s Quest for his Daughter’s Improvement”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Monday is the beginning of the week, and things are beginning to show light, a new start. The day began well with exercise early, a coffee on the way home, and classes the whole day, nothing new nor remarkable. I had not slept well the night before because I had […]
Sunday the 14th of May 2023:“A Beautiful Sunday in Flamengo: Walking to Marina da Gloria and Enjoying the Scenery”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is my second Sunday in Flamengo and more tranquil than last week’s Sunday; just arriving was a turbulent day of reorganisation and throwing stuff away so that there could be the minimum quality of life to work in peace. Now that everything has settled, this Sunday was special as […]
Saturday the 13th of May 2023:“Lunch And Shopping with Yasmin”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny, slightly overcast and with heavy rain later. Surprisingly, even though Friday was difficult due to money issues, Saturday has been ok! I have enough money to take Yasmin for lunch, so I am ok. Nalva is working the whole day, so this helps, too. I got up early, went to Carmen Miranda Park, […]
