Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warmish and overcast. Saturday morning, the weather is a little iffy, but hopefully it will clear up so we can see the dogs. Julie and I had arranged to visit a dog shelter to see some greyhounds, with the possibility of adopting one in the future. The shelter is on the other side of […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cool, sunny and slightly overcast. Friday is a day filled with movement in the morning and evening. Waking early, a brief half-hour chat on the phone with Julie, then exercise, a blog post, and out into the street. It is Friday, so I don’t usually have any classes early, which allows me to do […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, warm, sunny but slightly overcast. Thursday, a typical day with classes, resolving problems and online work until late in the evening. Julie sent me a message saying she had just finished her gym classes and would like to pass by to see me quickly. It was already 9:00 p.m., but I said OK and […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, grey, rainy and miserable. It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week. If I were in Brazil in the past, it would have been an excuse to go out, meet someone, buy some beers or wine, have a drink, and listen to some good music or watch a film. I could go out with […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. Monday is the beginning of the week, and it is always a good start if the weekend was good. The weekend was very good with a day visit to Kinver Edge, and the town for lunch with Julie on the Saturday, and even though we did not meet yesterday […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. It’s Sunday, and Kathleen, the storm that has hit England. In the West Midlands, where my mother lives, it is incredibly windy, with some wooden fences being blown down in the back garden, and there is a lot of rain and cold. I exercised in the morning and spoke […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cold, cloudy and rainy. Friday has been a typical day, except that Julie gave me a lift into the local village. I got up, did a heavy workout, had some coffee and gave my first class at 11 a.m. English time. I then got ready to go out. I needed to buy some groceries, but […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and chilly, cloudy with bursts of sunshine and trying to rain. I’m up early and exercising in the back living room and outside on the patio. I mentioned to Julie that it would be nice to take an early walk with Austin, her dog, along the canal. She took it literally and called me […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, grey, miserable and rainy. I’m glad to be back at work after a long Easter bank holiday, as it was a bank holiday in Brazil on Friday and another in England on Monday, which completely disrupted my routine for staying healthy, productive, and earning money. I faced the same issue in Brazil, where the long […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and grey with bursts of sunshine. It’s Tuesday, back to work, and I feel relieved. It is always very nice to have time off, a break, a bank holiday or even holidays, but for me, returning to work is a relief. I feel down when I spend a long time without working. I think […]
