Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 27 degrees, very hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. Sunday, almost my whole day off from everybody. Julie and I are not 100%. There are some issues which are normal in any relationship. Especially at the beginning, when you are both finding your way, and also when dating today is all so much more complicated and […]
Saturday, the 11th of May 2024: “Living with Uncertainty”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 24 degrees, hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. It’s Saturday, the weekend, and I’m feeling exhausted about everything in my life. Things don’t seem 100% clear to me, and when they’re not, I follow my intuition. My situation and relationship with Julie are difficult for me. We both do not have our own places, which makes […]
Thursday, the 9th of May 2024: “Appreciating the Morning and Its Simple Joys”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 23 degrees, hot, sunny and with blue skies. It is Thursday, and I start to feel tired as the day progresses. Later, the accumulation of classes, work, etc., begins to take its toll; however, knowing that tomorrow is Friday helps a lot. Usual early morning exercise and a bit of skipping; it’s a lovely day for England […]
Wednesday, the 8th of May 2024: “Resilience and Struggle In Contemporary Brazil”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 22 degrees, hot, sunny and with blue skies. My usual early morning routine includes exercise, writing a blog post, and journaling, then I begin classes at 11 a.m., with additional classes today until only 5:00 p.m. It’s an easy day for me, which is both good and bad. Good because I can finish early and do other […]
Monday, the 6th of May 2024: “Discovering Unexpectedly Hidden Beauty”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is a bank holiday in England, Labour Day. It was last Wednesday in Brazil, but any bank holiday in the middle of the week in England is moved to the following Monday. So, for me, it is a little complicated to juggle the same bank holiday on different days. […]
Saturday, the 4th of May 2024: “Beautiful, Quaint and Quirky Wombourne”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 17 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Exercising and skipping early, it is a beautiful day. The sun is shining, and the sky is blue with a few clouds. I watered the lawn and tidied up around the path. With the new turf laid on Thursday, my mother’s back garden looks really special. I have also started […]
Monday, the 29th of April 2024: “Retrospection of My Last Year”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warm, sunny but slightly overcast. It’s April, and my birthday month is coming to an end! And what a month it has been! It marks the close of one year of my life, and fortunately, another is beginning. I have been reflecting on the past year: where I was in April 2023, and where […]
Saturday, the 27th of April 2024: “Our first Lunch at The Old Wharf with Austin”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, slightly sunny, overcast with showers. Our lunch appointment is at 2:15 at the old Wharf Inn pub, in the old Wharf, very close to Lower High Street, Stourbridge. Julie was getting her things together in the morning, and I was doing the same. I exercised in the back garden and enjoyed some gardening, […]
Friday, the 26th of April 2024: “An Eventful Day”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, warm and sunny. Friday marks the end of the working week, and this one was among the craziest days I’ve experienced in a long time. I got up early, had my daily morning chat with Julie, exercised, and skipped— the first time I have skipped for more than a week. Now that I am […]
Wednesday, the 24th of April 2024: “A Birthday Week of Memories and Mundanities”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, grey and overcast. It is the middle of the week, and I’m already tired. It’s been a marathon of a week, my birthday week, and it’s still going on. On Saturday, we visited Stourport and Bewdley with Austin and had lunch at the Hop Pole pub, which was decent but not outstanding. Later, […]
