Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 23 degrees, hot, sunny and beautiful blue skies. Quite a productive and enjoyable day. I am gradually getting ready to return to Brazil. I won’t see Julie until the middle of the afternoon; I have promised my mother to have lunch with her. I know and feel that she might not genuinely appreciate it, seeing it more […]
Friday, the 31st of May 2024: “Good Company and Beyond”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, cold, overcast and with showers. It’s the second day of the bank holiday in Brazil for Corpus Christi, and we still have the weekend ahead of us. Yesterday, we visited Clint Hills and took a trip down memory lane. We also washed Austin in the automated self-service dog bath, which was a blast! Today, Julie […]
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 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, […]
Wednesday, the 10th of April 2024: “Simple Things: Coffee and Company”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, grey, rainy and miserable. It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week. If I were in Brazil in the past, it would have been an excuse to go out, meet someone, buy some beers or wine, have a drink, and listen to some good music or watch a film. I could go out with […]
Saturday, the 6th of April 2024: “A Day of Discovery at Kinver Edge”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, sunny, slightly grey and overcast. It is Saturday, the weekend and time to go out with my beautiful, little, perfect woman. She picked me up at about 10:30, and we went to Kinver Edge for the second time with her dog, Austin. The man! We parked the car at the Edge and walked for […]
Thursday, the 4th of April 2024: “A Morning Canal Walk”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and chilly, cloudy with bursts of sunshine and trying to rain. I’m up early and exercising in the back living room and outside on the patio. I mentioned to Julie that it would be nice to take an early walk with Austin, her dog, along the canal. She took it literally and called me […]
Saturday, the 30th of March 2024: “A Couple in Stourbridge”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny, warm in the sun but cold in the shade. Saturday was a marathon day, during which I accomplished quite a lot, and for me, the activities of the day were more enjoyable than those at night. It is a beautiful, sunny day — a truly sunny day, with it being warm in the sun […]
Sunday, the 24th of March 2024: “Sunday with ‘The MAN’”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly cloudy. After a marathon day yesterday, I woke up briefly at 4:00 in the morning, then fell back asleep, and only woke up at 9:00 a.m. It was a beautiful, sunny day, with the birds complaining aloud and the local church bells ringing. I wasn’t hungover, but I was feeling slow. […]
Thursday, the 21st of March 2024: “Serendipity with a Twist”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast and trying to rain. What a great Thursday! The beginning was a little strange, with twists and turns, but by the end of the day, everything was good. If I hadn’t sent a message to Julie first thing, then she wouldn’t have sent me a message, which makes the whole situation seem petty, […]
