Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cold, grey, damp and a lot of rain. In Brazil, it is the eve of Carnival. What I’ve heard from my pupils is that it is very hot and stuffy in Rio. Here in the middle of England, it is reasonably cold, wet, and damp but bearable. There was supposed to be snow, but it […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, grey, dull, damp and a lot of rain. A day of rain, rain and more rain. Snow was expected, but it didn’t come. I was going to go out, but because of the rain, I decided to stay in. I’m feeling a bit on edge at the moment. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, very cold, sunny and slightly overcast with the possibility of snow. The forecast is for snow for the next couple of days. Still, I’m not so sure it is not uncommon to have snow in either February or March in England. My mother said that there was snow in England in April last year, but […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, damp, overcast, and the forecast is for rain. Monday of the week before Carnival in Brazil. It is cold, drizzly, damp, grey, and wet. I wanted to do some exercise this morning, but due to a heavy workout on Saturday, my legs are still sore, and it is difficult for me even to walk, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, grey and damp. What do you do on a cold and slightly rainy Sunday in England? You go to the pub! I worked in the morning, but I didn’t do any exercise as I am still sore, very sore from the workout yesterday. My mother suggested that we have a late lunch and also […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, a little cold, grey, overcast and wet. It is Saturday, and I didn’t go out last night. I also don’t have anything planned socially for today, tonight, or tomorrow. I am surprised by myself that a night out, clubbing, meeting friends, or a girl, etc., are no longer the priorities of my life. Some men […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, a beautiful morning with the weather closing later in the day. This is my third day of exercising outside on the patio in my mother’s back garden, and it can’t get any better. Sometimes, when working out in Rio with temperatures ranging from 20 to 30°, I would feel euphoric. Here, the effect of the […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, cold, sunny and blue skies. Even though I wanted to do exercise outside, there were still sequelae from yesterday’s session. Instead, I thought it would be better to walk, get some shopping for my mother, and come back on foot. Ideally, it is good to do both, walking and exercise, but if for some reason […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey, grim and very damp. It was bitterly cold overnight, and at 7 in the morning, the temperature was -1 °C. I got up, washed, and put on clothes to exercise out on the patio in the back garden again. Today has seemed much colder than yesterday, and my skipping rope seemed shorter than […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, cold, cloudy and with drizzle. Today has been basically one long walk. Up early, I worked on the computer, wrote in my journal, and then prepared to go out. I wanted to visit a second-hand motorbike dealer on the other side of Brierley Hill, near where my late grandfather lived. My mother knew that I […]
