Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
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 […]
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 […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warm, sunny, overcast and with some showers. Yesterday was a bank holiday in Brazil, so I couldn’t work or officially give classes. I posted a blog and made an entry in my journal. However, I couldn’t teach any classes, except for Marcelo at 10:00 p.m., and I also experienced some stress with my mother over […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, grey and overcast. It’s Thursday after my birthday, and I’m still feeling its effects, especially since it fell on a Monday and Tuesday was a bank holiday. The whole week and my routine have been disrupted. Once you break a routine, it’s very hard to get back to the same pace or rhythm […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, grey, overcast and rainy. It is Tuesday, 23rd April, the day after my birthday. Regarding my birthday on the 22nd, there was a Brazilian bank holiday on the 21st—the day before. Tiradentes, a man who attempted to blow up parliament, bears a striking resemblance to Guy Fawkes in England. There is also another […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny with showers. It is curry night at Wetherspoons. Julie likes Indian food, specifically curries, and it is curry night at every Wetherspoons in England every Thursday. Funny enough, there is no discount or special price for Thursdays, and Indian curries are offered all week round during Curry night at Wetherspoons. I woke up […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, chilly, sunny and slightly overcast. Today is the day I am taking a blood test, the first in a long time. The last time I voluntarily had a blood test was when I was dating Jacqueline over six years ago. However, during my emergency appendicitis operation, several blood tests were likely carried out at […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. It’s Sunday, and Kathleen, the storm that has hit England. In the West Midlands, where my mother lives, it is incredibly windy, with some wooden fences being blown down in the back garden, and there is a lot of rain and cold. I exercised in the morning and spoke […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, grey, miserable and rainy. I’m glad to be back at work after a long Easter bank holiday, as it was a bank holiday in Brazil on Friday and another in England on Monday, which completely disrupted my routine for staying healthy, productive, and earning money. I faced the same issue in Brazil, where the long […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and grey with bursts of sunshine. It’s Tuesday, back to work, and I feel relieved. It is always very nice to have time off, a break, a bank holiday or even holidays, but for me, returning to work is a relief. I feel down when I spend a long time without working. I think […]
