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: -3 degrees during the night. During the day, it is 3 degrees with sun and blue skies. It’s bitterly cold in Wordsley, but still sunny, which is a plus! I’m trying to get up early, but as I’ve mentioned before, it seems almost impossible until now. The three-hour difference also seems to coincide with my 8:00 a.m. […]
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 […]
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: 3 degrees, cold and dull. After having a very fruitful meeting with Carl last night, although it cleared up some questions and doubts, it also raised other questions that I had not previously considered. Many questions had already been considered before meeting Carl, while others had not. But after having a fascinating and enlightening talk with him, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, wet, damp and grey. It’s the end of the week, and I don’t have any classes today. Some pupils are still travelling, while others are not yet ready to return to their regular 100% schedule, and unfortunately, that includes English classes. Some will only be back to full steam after Carnival, which is a […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, grey, cold, overcast and damp. Waking up in a house alone is a luxury that I haven’t had for quite some time, being both good and strange. Being able to do anything you want, within reason, without worrying about someone else in the house is sublime. Walking naked from the bathroom after a shower to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, cold and overcast. Today has been a good day. Although it is bitterly cold and damp, it has turned out to be very good for many reasons. I dispatched my mother by taxi to the hospital at 7:00 a.m. She will undergo a knee surgery., The doctor said her knee was utterly shattered and would […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, bitterly cold but with beautiful blue skies. One degree is cold for anyone, and I certainly felt it this morning! When I arrived on November 25th, it was chilly and damp because it was raining. However, today’s cold feels different with the sunshine and a blue sky; it’s lovely. You need to dress warmly when […]
