Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Saturday, and Saturdays are always good, especially in Rio de Janeiro. Cariocas, native people from the city of Rio de Janeiro, like Cockneys from London or Brummies from Birmingham, are spoilt. They are spoilt because, first of all, there are ninety-nine beautiful golden sandy beaches, eighty-three kilometres […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Friday again, thank God! If it is another Friday, it means that I am still alive. I have a life, and if I have a life, I am responsible for doing something with it. It is also a second chance. Every new day is a second chance […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Thursday and almost the weekend, and I feel a little guilty. I have not been able to develop or do anything with the sites in the last couple of weeks. This is due to not knowing exactly what I want for each site and its identity. I also […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. So, half the month has already passed, and everything has been paid for: rent, gas, electricity, etc., and other things like a new coat to go England and Nalva’s glasses, and there is still a reserve. This reserve is to finish the treatment of my teeth, which is my priority […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm and sunny. Sunday is the day I like to reserve at least the morning for myself. If I were living alone, like when I lived in Copacabana, and if Yasmin was not with me that weekend, I would love to be just alone, enjoying my own company. I would love early morning exercise and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and slightly overcast. It is the 15th, and for some reason, this week and half the month have gone very quickly. Nalva arrived back from Sao Paulo last night. We talked a little. She was happy to be back. She said she had worked a lot in Sao Paulo, but the experience was worth […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and slightly overcast. It is Friday at the end of the working week. Work this week has been relatively light compared to other weeks. I wonder whether this has been because Nalva is travelling or that just everything has worked relatively well without any drama or confusion. Returning to what I had written before, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Thursday and nearing another weekend. I will have to go to Copacabana today and give a class to Dona Vera. I do not really want to, but I have to, and this is one of the responsibilities of an adult: to do things we do not want to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warm and Sunny and slightly overcast. It is the middle of the week, and it is just Yasmin and me. Nalva is travelling for work in Sao Paulo, and until now, nobody has died. Two are a company, but three are a crowd. It seems to be something like that, and probably, in some ways, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm and sunny. Nalva is travelling; it is just Yasmin, Perola, and me at home. The flat is noticeably quieter, and the ambience is lighter, and this is not just me saying it. I do not mind giving up a small part of my life for the next three or four months to share with […]
