Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23 oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. I do not know much about the Jewish religion, culture, and Israel. However, I do understand that the Jews are considered as the persecuted race. Throughout all the known history, the Jewish people have been persecuted in some form or another. The most recently known was the Holocaust during […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hot, overcast and with showers. Today is a half-bank holiday, which marks the second day of the long weekend. Although it is not officially recognised as a bank holiday, many civil servants will treat it as one. However, it will not be a holiday for those in sectors like trade and healthcare. One of the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hottish, sunny, blue sky. It is Wednesday, the eve of a bank holiday, which I believe is Children’s Day. My daughters are grown up; Jessica is thirty and has graduated as a psychologist. She lives in Leme with Mario. Yasmin, on the other hand, is sixteen. I do not consider her a child anymore, so […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, Sunny and slightly overcast. This week is going well. All my weeks go well, but this one is particularly good because it is a short week. I will only be working until Wednesday, teaching classes. I plan to continue working on my projects throughout the rest of the week and into the weekend. I […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot, sunny, clear blue sky. Today is not as sunny as yesterday. I decided to take Perola for a walk along the Orla (in front of the beach), where there are parts where she can be let loose. At the moment, I am living in Flamengo, Aterro (a dual carriageway that cuts through Flamengo, connecting […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 34oC, hot, sunny, clear blue sky. I am not feeling well today. After yesterday’s confusion, a flood of memories returned, reminding me of the same situation. The first time we lived together, Nalva went to work while I decided to clean and tidy the house. Instead of being happy and grateful when she returned, she was […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Friday marks the end of the week. This week was not as productive as I would have liked, but it was not so bad. I am feeling stuck and need to find a way out. I have not finished the “PlaceBeads” site yet, which is really bothering me. I should […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny, unstable and slightly overcast. Today is a little rainy. The weather is unstable. In a moment, it is suddenly overcast, heavy and trying to rain, and shortly after, the sun is trying to appear. I gave classes all day, and now Thursdays are one of my busiest days of the week. Finally, in […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hottish and sunny. It is Wednesday, the middle of the week. The weather is unpredictable; sometimes, it rains, sometimes it is sunny, hot, and sticky, and a few times, it is cool. As an English person, I am accustomed to the rain. I do not mind walking in it, and when I had a bike, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is hot, humid, and cloudy. I took Perola for a walk and did some exercise early. It is trying to rain, but it is not succeeding. Thursdays are the days with the most classes, especially in the afternoon when I have a presential class with Dona Vera in Copacabana. […]
