Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 31oC, hot, sunny and with showers. Today is a bank holiday, though I am not entirely sure why. It seems like we have a day for everything nowadays. These are not always bank holidays when everything is closed, but some days honour specific groups, professions, or ideologies. If you can imagine it, a day is likely […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. It’s the beginning of a new week, but it will be a short one. Thursday is a bank holiday, meaning Friday will essentially be a dead day—a day off. Many places will be closed, including offices, factories, and companies. Traditionally, during a bank holiday on a Thursday, people make the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot, sunny, clear blue sky. Today is not as sunny as yesterday. I decided to take Perola for a walk along the Orla (in front of the beach), where there are parts where she can be let loose. At the moment, I am living in Flamengo, Aterro (a dual carriageway that cuts through Flamengo, connecting […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Friday marks the end of the week. This week was not as productive as I would have liked, but it was not so bad. I am feeling stuck and need to find a way out. I have not finished the “PlaceBeads” site yet, which is really bothering me. I should […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny, unstable and slightly overcast. Today is a little rainy. The weather is unstable. In a moment, it is suddenly overcast, heavy and trying to rain, and shortly after, the sun is trying to appear. I gave classes all day, and now Thursdays are one of my busiest days of the week. Finally, in […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and overcast. A new week, a new month, and the countdown for England has begun. So, what are my goals for this month? I like the number 3. I like things that are multiples of 3. But there is a fourth point. I have not been able to exercise early as often as I […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, overcast and rainy. It has been raining since yesterday, so I cannot exercise outside today. Instead, I will walk with Perola around Flamengo, do some work on the computer, and watch a film before going to bed early. It is the 1st of October, and I have less than two months to go to England […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warm, overcast and with showers. It’s Friday, the end of the week. I have a few classes, and then I’ll achieve another milestone. At 2:00 pm this afternoon, I have a dentist appointment to continue the treatment of my teeth, specifically the implants. Everyone has some fear or phobia. Mine was, and still is, to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warm, overcast and with showers. The month is ending. How has it been? It has been an exceptional month. I have been on a roll for the last two or three months, but I cannot relax. There are still a lot of things to do. My two main priorities for next month are as follows: […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. Today, I have to go to Copacabana to give a class to Dona Vera. I don’t really want to go, but getting out of the flat and being in the street is good. Although working from home is very convenient, we must get out, breathe fresh air, walk, and give our brains […]
