Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
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: 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: 12 degrees, chilly, grey and damp. Although it is not raining, it is extremely damp, and you can feel it in your bones. I wanted to get up early to go out and do some exercise, but it didn’t happen. Yesterday, I drank too many glasses of wine, and as a result, I didn’t sleep well. I […]
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 […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: -3 degrees during the night. During the day, it is 3 degrees with sun and blue skies. It’s bitterly cold in Wordsley, but still sunny, which is a plus! I’m trying to get up early, but as I’ve mentioned before, it seems almost impossible until now. The three-hour difference also seems to coincide with my 8:00 a.m. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, very cold, with light grey skies and no snow. I’m writing this entry on Friday, the 19th, two days after today. Usually, I write an entry at the end of the same day or the next, so that it is generally fresh in my mind. Nowadays, with the amount of things we cram into each […]
Rio de Janeiro: 32 degrees, hot, sunny and overcast. Today was meant to be the day I travelled, at least for the first leg. However, it has been delayed by a day for some reason, so I will now only be travelling tomorrow. As a result, I utilised my time effectively to tackle some minor tasks. In the morning, I […]
Rio de Janeiro: 25 degrees, overcast and rain. Today has been a pleasantly odd day. There has been a touch of productivity, but nothing like what I am accustomed to. In the morning, I went to the Portuguese bakery early, did my daily journal entry, drank two large black coffees, went home, and gave a couple of classes. Nothing out […]
Rio de Janeiro: 27 degrees, overcast and rain. What a great day and with a twist! It is a bank holiday, the third of three for November, and it is raining outside. I got my diary early and went straight to the Portuguese bakers to write and put in my entry for the day. A farewell lunch has been arranged […]
Rio de Janeiro: 34 degrees, very hot, sunny and slightly overcast. Instead of cooling down a bit after so many hot days, it feels like someone has cranked up the heat even further; everything is melting from the excess heat. I have had to go out, even though I didn’t want to, I needed to buy socks. I seldom wear […]
