Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 23 degrees, hot, sunny and with blue skies. It is Thursday, and I start to feel tired as the day progresses. Later, the accumulation of classes, work, etc., begins to take its toll; however, knowing that tomorrow is Friday helps a lot. Usual early morning exercise and a bit of skipping; it’s a lovely day for England […]
Wednesday, the 8th of May 2024: “Resilience and Struggle In Contemporary Brazil”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 22 degrees, hot, sunny and with blue skies. My usual early morning routine includes exercise, writing a blog post, and journaling, then I begin classes at 11 a.m., with additional classes today until only 5:00 p.m. It’s an easy day for me, which is both good and bad. Good because I can finish early and do other […]
Tuesday, the 7th of May 2024: “Embracing: Routine, Reflection and growth”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Today is the day after yesterday’s bank holiday, Labour Day. In England, it was moved to yesterday because the 1st of May, which was last Wednesday, disrupts the entire week. When there is a bank holiday in the middle of the week in England, it is transferred to the following […]
Monday, the 6th of May 2024: “Discovering Unexpectedly Hidden Beauty”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is a bank holiday in England, Labour Day. It was last Wednesday in Brazil, but any bank holiday in the middle of the week in England is moved to the following Monday. So, for me, it is a little complicated to juggle the same bank holiday on different days. […]
Sunday, the 5th of May 2024: “Family Dynamics”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It’s Sunday, and traditionally in England it’s the day for a family lunch —the usual Sunday lunch. I feel that my mother is trying to compete with Julie for attention, control, and perhaps even to sabotage my relationship. It has become clear that every Sunday she pretty much decides what […]
Saturday, the 4th of May 2024: “Beautiful, Quaint and Quirky Wombourne”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 17 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Exercising and skipping early, it is a beautiful day. The sun is shining, and the sky is blue with a few clouds. I watered the lawn and tidied up around the path. With the new turf laid on Thursday, my mother’s back garden looks really special. I have also started […]
Friday, the 3rd of May 2024: “A Rainy Friday in Wordsley”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, cold, overcast and with rain. It’s Friday, and after a crazy week due to the Labour Day bank holidays, with Brazil’s Labour Day on Wednesday and England’s on Monday. Just a normal Friday of classes, a blog post, an entry in my journal, and buying some crypto. All the usual things that make up my […]
Thursday, the 2nd of May 2024: “Embracing Work, Health and Personal Growth”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warm, sunny, overcast and with some showers. Yesterday was a bank holiday in Brazil, so I couldn’t work or officially give classes. I posted a blog and made an entry in my journal. However, I couldn’t teach any classes, except for Marcelo at 10:00 p.m., and I also experienced some stress with my mother over […]
Wednesday, the 1st of May 2024: “A New Year and New Goals: Charting My Path to 60”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, quite warm, sunny and with a few clouds. My birthday was on 22 April, marking the start of my new year, and today also begins the first month of this new year. Last year was very good for me: I came to England, saved and invested money, saw my mother, and met many new and […]
Tuesday, the 30th of April 2024: “Mr Hornsby At Hammersmith Odeon”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, quite warm, sunny with a few clouds. It is Tuesday, the last day of April. Tomorrow will be May 1st, Labour Day and a bank holiday in Brazil. For me, it also marks New Year’s Day or the start of my new year. My birthday month is coming to an end, along with the old […]
