Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Rio de Janeiro: 32 degrees, hot, sunny and overcast. Today was meant to be the day I travelled, at least for the first leg. However, it has been delayed by a day for some reason, so I will now only be travelling tomorrow. As a result, I utilised my time effectively to tackle some minor tasks. In the morning, I […]
Rio de Janeiro: 25 degrees, overcast and rain. Today has been a pleasantly odd day. There has been a touch of productivity, but nothing like what I am accustomed to. In the morning, I went to the Portuguese bakery early, did my daily journal entry, drank two large black coffees, went home, and gave a couple of classes. Nothing out […]
Rio de Janeiro: 27 degrees, overcast and rain. What a great day and with a twist! It is a bank holiday, the third of three for November, and it is raining outside. I got my diary early and went straight to the Portuguese bakers to write and put in my entry for the day. A farewell lunch has been arranged […]
Rio de Janeiro: 27 degrees, hottish, sunny, overcast and unstable. It is the last Sunday before I go to England. The countdown is only three days away, and I have two days to do my online check-in. I took Perola for a walk in the morning. It had rained at night, but the streets and the park were already dry […]
Rio de Janeiro: 31 degrees, very hot, and sunny. It remains extremely hot in Rio, significantly hotter than usual for this time of year. Sleeping without an air conditioner in this heat is not easy; fortunately, for the past two nights, I have slept reasonably well. When I lived in Copacabana, there was an air conditioner in both the living […]
Rio de Janeiro: 30 degrees, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. Yesterday was a bank holiday, falling on a Wednesday, right in the middle of the week. So, the week is already disrupted, as today and tomorrow won’t be normal working days. Perhaps I’m saying this because my mind is already in travel mode. It’s as if I’m already on the […]
Rio de Janeiro: 30 degrees, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. It is the second bank holiday of three, and I have exactly a week until I travel; there are seven days to go and counting. I am not sleeping very well; I don’t usually suffer from insomnia, but since I have been having problems with Yasmin, the quality of my […]
Rio de Janeiro: 30 degrees, hot and sunny. It is extremely hot, hotter than usual for this time of year. Yesterday, it was unofficially registered at over 40 degrees; today, it has been no different. I had a dentist appointment for six in the evening, I had to cancel three classes for this appointment as it would be the last […]
Rio de Janeiro: 28 degrees, hot and very sunny. It is extremely hot now, and we don’t have an air conditioner. I don’t sleep well; I don’t think anyone sleeps well when it’s so hot at night. When I lived in Copacabana, the flat had two air conditioners: one in the living room and another in my bedroom. Whenever Yasmin […]
Rio de Janeiro: 27 degrees, hot and very sunny. It’s Friday, and there are 12 days until I travel. The countdown is on! I’ve already downloaded a KLM app that allows me to organise my flight and all other details, ensuring I don’t get anything wrong on the day. I can check in online a few days before the flight, […]
