Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, dark, grey, cold and a lot of rain. A freezing and shitty English day again. It has rained all day, and I don’t think it’s going to stop until tomorrow. I had drunk a couple of glasses of wine and beer the night before, and because of this, I’m feeling the effects. I’m feeling too […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, damp, wet, and rainy the whole day. In the morning, it was raining heavily; I had to go out and take a urine sample to my mother’s doctor for testing. I also took the opportunity to do a little shopping at the butcher’s and the local supermarket. For the rest of the day, I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast and with the possibility of rain. Stress at the West Bromwich Building Society in Kingswinford. Every Tuesday, my mother collects her pension from the West Bromwich Building Society in Kingswinford. She needs to withdraw the money there to deposit it in the Nationwide Building Society next door to pay her bills. I don’t […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cool, sunny, and slightly overcast. It’s lovely to see the weather milder than when I arrived. The nights are bitterly cold, and the days are mild by British standards. Spring is coming, and it is nice to see the trees along the canal paths and my mother’s next-door neighbours’ trees blossoming in a beautiful, dark […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, coolish, sunny and bright with blue skies. What a day, one of the best days of my life, in terms of surprises and money! The inheritance from my uncle Mick came through. It was what I had expected; I would have liked to have received more, of course, but this small amount will help me […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, grey and damp, and with the possibility of rain. It’s shitty, cold, and dampness that reaches the bones, and you feel it on and off the whole day. People in Brazil are gradually returning to work today. The rule is that they have to return by midday on the Wednesday after Carnival. Some will only […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, cold, grey and damp. It is officially the last day of Carnival in Brazil, and tomorrow people will gradually start to return to work. Even more so on Thursday, and most, 100%, will be back next Monday. As I have mentioned before, regarding work and business, Brazilians consider the new year to begin on the […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, very cold, but sunny. It is Monday, and Carnival is going at full swing in Brazil. I have talked to Nalva and Yamin, and they are staying quiet at home. Public safety is a significant issue in Brazil at present and has worsened significantly under Lula’s administration. This morning, I got up later than usual, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey, damp and with the threat of rain. My feelings are a little mixed at the moment. I’m sensing that my time in England is coming to an end. My mother is giving me all the wrong signs that I am beginning to overstay my welcome. I have been trying to please her by […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, damp and slightly overcast. I was supposed to go to Merry Hill shopping centre today, but as I hate shopping centres and it is carnival in Brazil, I want to do very little! Instead, some shopping in the local village precinct, a coffee, and some work on the computer – nothing too much. My […]
