Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, chilly, grey and damp. Although it is not raining, it is extremely damp, and you can feel it in your bones. I wanted to get up early to go out and do some exercise, but it didn’t happen. Yesterday, I drank too many glasses of wine, and as a result, I didn’t sleep well. I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold and overcast. A crazy day of housework and getting half drunk! As I have said many times before, I have been having difficulty getting up early in England, as I usually do in Brazil. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time difference; my body clock is still set to the Brazilian time […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, cold, cloudy and with drizzle. Today has been basically one long walk. Up early, I worked on the computer, wrote in my journal, and then prepared to go out. I wanted to visit a second-hand motorbike dealer on the other side of Brierley Hill, near where my late grandfather lived. My mother knew that I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, chilly, sunny with a clear blue sky. Today, I only have two classes, one at 7:00 am Brazilian time, which was cancelled 1/4 of an hour before the class, and the other at 6:00 pm Brazilian time, which is 9:00 pm here in England on a Friday. If it were 20 years ago, I would […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, grey, a little rainy but fresh. I was up late, exercised late, and I stayed at home, not in the street. My first class at 11 a.m. was also cancelled. This month is a bit of a shambles, even more so since I’m currently in England. January is always a chaotic month—Broke after Christmas […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, a little sunny but overcast. It has been exactly two weeks to the day since my mother had her knee surgery. On Monday, she went for her first physio session. Interestingly, the physiotherapist gave my mother various printed sheets stipulating and showing her the exercises that she needs to do every day. For me, this […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy and chilly. It’s not as cold as it was last week, but it’s stormy, with the second storm hitting England in a week. The weather is very windy, a little rainy, grey, and bleak, but it’s still possible to go out and do whatever needs to be done. I have the option to withdraw […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and stormy. The whole of England is covered by a storm called Isha, after a woman, of course. There has been flooding in some parts of the country, accompanied by slight rain and strong winds. The wind had been quite strong, but nothing so severe as to be alarmed about. I was able to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, warmer with a grey sky and with the sun trying to appear. It’s Sunday, cold, and everybody is waiting for a storm that is supposedly arriving late today. It’s already windy, but nothing can stop me from going out for a walk. I’m leaving home at about 8:30 and I’m going straight to the canal […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 0 degrees, very cold, but a beautiful sunny day with blue skies. I am having difficulty getting up early here as I normally do in Rio. In Rio, I wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. and head out for morning exercise at 5:30. Here in England, I’ve tried to replicate this routine by setting the alarm […]
