Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hot, overcast and with showers. Today is a half-bank holiday, which marks the second day of the long weekend. Although it is not officially recognised as a bank holiday, many civil servants will treat it as one. However, it will not be a holiday for those in sectors like trade and healthcare. One of the […]
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: […]
