Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, very cold, with light grey skies and no snow. I’m writing this entry on Friday, the 19th, two days after today. Usually, I write an entry at the end of the same day or the next, so that it is generally fresh in my mind. Nowadays, with the amount of things we cram into each […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, very cold, sunny and with a beautiful, clear blue sky. Today, I have to run errands for my mother in the street, in addition to teaching classes, blogging, and journaling. My mother receives her pension, I think every Monday or Tuesday, every week, in one account and pays her bills every Wednesday in another bank […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, cold, snowy, but the sun is shining with a beautiful, clear blue sky. It’s Monday, the start of the week. I’ve lost count of how many weeks I’ve been in England, probably about seven or eight. I woke up to a beautiful, bitterly cold day with a thin layer of snow on the ground from […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, sunny, overcast and rainy-everything imaginable and always cold. A Sunday full of surprises! Yesterday, I arranged with the head nurse at the hospital that before my mother is sent home by ambulance, someone would call me to inform me and to help me prepare for her arrival. It is midday and I haven’t received any […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, overcast and drizzly. We are running up to Christmas night in Brazil and Christmas Day in England in terms of respective importance. It is cold, not as cold as when I arrived in November, but it is cold for an adopted carioca. For me, it’s amusing how there is so much hype leading up […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, warmish and very windy. Today was a quiet day. I woke up early, followed by a hard workout in the living room. I had just two classes during the day, and the rest of the time was spent feeding the ducks and swans, taking a walk and doing little else. I have no more classes […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. Today was another day of visiting places from the past, either from my childhood or adolescence. Even though it was bitterly cold, I decided to go out and walk, walk, and walk. I fed them, my friends, the swans and ducks along the canal. Then I found myself walking toward my […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. I have been in England for 19 days now, and I’m having a whale of a time. Not a good time as in partying and going out every night, but a whale of a time in respect to being able to do all the things I had come to England to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degrees, cold, sunny, overcast and rainy. I’m trying to get up early here, like in Brazil, but it isn’t easy. At least the last two days, I have slept well. Instead of going out for an early walk and not wanting to get confused by class times clashing with the time differences between England and Brazil, […]
