Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: -2 degrees, bitterly cold, but beautiful day. Monday morning marks the start of the week, and there is a lot to do. Besides giving classes and helping my mother, I need to find out when DJI will be able to deliver my drone and camera, which I bought at the end of February. There seems to be […]
Sunday the 3rd of March 2024: “A Lone Sunday in Stourbridge”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 0 degrees, bitterly cold, but beautifully sunny with clear blue skies. What a great Sunday – a beautiful day with sunshine and blue skies, although cold. Although nothing was planned, after a hard workout and a shower, I decided to go to Stourbridge. Stourbridge is the second most important town in the region and, arguably, the most […]
Friday the 1st of March 2024: “Embracing Simplicity and its Beauty”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, bitterly cold, rainy, damp and grey. A morning exercise, not so heavy, but at least I have done something. The weather is constantly changing, making it difficult to plan the day or routine. However, the lesson is not to yield, but to do what you want or need to do, regardless! The big news is […]
Thursday the 29th of February 2024: “Hummingbird Symphony”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, overcast and damp. Yesterday, I bought a bird feeder, a small upright tower that can be hung from anywhere in the garden. I decided to hang it from the clothesline, about halfway along, with the prop away from the feeder so that the birds can come and go freely without anything in the way. […]
Monday the 26th of February 2024: “Finding Growth”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, very cold, overcast and with possible rain. My weekends are relatively quiet and non-interesting in England. I don’t really have friends to go out with. Primarily, I don’t socially drink much nowadays, as I want to save money, and I don’t have a girlfriend or a flirt here. When Mondays come, it breaks the monotony […]
Thursday the 22nd of February 2024: “Food, Eating, Weight and Relationships”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, dark, grey, cold and a lot of rain. A freezing and shitty English day again. It has rained all day, and I don’t think it’s going to stop until tomorrow. I had drunk a couple of glasses of wine and beer the night before, and because of this, I’m feeling the effects. I’m feeling too […]
Wednesday the 21st of February 2024: “The Time Zone Difference”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, damp, wet, and rainy the whole day. In the morning, it was raining heavily; I had to go out and take a urine sample to my mother’s doctor for testing. I also took the opportunity to do a little shopping at the butcher’s and the local supermarket. For the rest of the day, I […]
Tuesday the 20th of February 2024: “Bureaucracy and Stress at The West Bromwich Building Society”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast and with the possibility of rain. Stress at the West Bromwich Building Society in Kingswinford. Every Tuesday, my mother collects her pension from the West Bromwich Building Society in Kingswinford. She needs to withdraw the money there to deposit it in the Nationwide Building Society next door to pay her bills. I don’t […]
Monday the 19th of February 2024: “Spring, and Brazil’s New Year”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cool, sunny, and slightly overcast. It’s lovely to see the weather milder than when I arrived. The nights are bitterly cold, and the days are mild by British standards. Spring is coming, and it is nice to see the trees along the canal paths and my mother’s next-door neighbours’ trees blossoming in a beautiful, dark […]
Friday the 16th of February 2024: “Our Ring and Ride to Sainsbury’s and Back”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, sunny, cool, with blue skies and the possibility of rain. Today is the first day my mother has left home after her surgery, apart from when she went to the doctors to have the surgical staples removed, and for physiotherapy at the hospital. My mother had booked a minibus service with ‘Ring and Ride’ that […]
