Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, chilly, sunny and slightly overcast. Tuesday is the day I usually visit the two building societies in Kingswinford village for my mother. She receives money at one and pays her bills at the other, which isn’t very logical. I’ve suggested she simplify this by having just one account for both, but she doesn’t want […]
Monday, the 15th of April 2024: “Cafe Politics”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, rainy and overcast. It is Monday, following a busy weekend spent going to various places with Julie. A visit to the greyhound shelter to see such beautiful dogs, Wolverhampton, that I haven’t been to for such a long time, and finally going to Stourbridge for a late lunch, early dinner. It was important […]
Sunday, the 14th of April 2024: “A Great Day in Bewdley”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, warmish, sunny but slightly overcast. Saturday was an action-packed day, with Julie and me visiting multiple places, some planned and others not. I was tired in the evening, so it was great to get a good night’s sleep of more than six hours, which is really beneficial for me. I was up quite early […]
Friday, the 12th of April 2024: “Cafes, Connections and Amazing Baltis”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cool, sunny and slightly overcast. Friday is a day filled with movement in the morning and evening. Waking early, a brief half-hour chat on the phone with Julie, then exercise, a blog post, and out into the street. It is Friday, so I don’t usually have any classes early, which allows me to do […]
Thursday, the 11th of April 2024: “Finding Growth Despite A Toxic Legacy”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, warm, sunny but slightly overcast. Thursday, a typical day with classes, resolving problems and online work until late in the evening. Julie sent me a message saying she had just finished her gym classes and would like to pass by to see me quickly. It was already 9:00 p.m., but I said OK and […]
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 […]
Tuesday, the 9th of April 2024: “Shoot Out at the West Bromwich Building Society”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cold, windy and with sun later in the day. It was just going to be a normal Tuesday where I would visit the two building societies for my mother, do some shopping, and then come home to work for the rest of the day. The morning was routine, with exercise, a blog post published, […]
Monday, the 8th of April 2024: “English Rain, Reflection and Connection”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. Monday is the beginning of the week, and it is always a good start if the weekend was good. The weekend was very good with a day visit to Kinver Edge, and the town for lunch with Julie on the Saturday, and even though we did not meet yesterday […]
Sunday, the 7th of April 2024: “Weathering Kathleen and Reflections on Life, Love, and Change”!!!
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 […]
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 […]
