Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warm, sunny but slightly overcast. It’s April, and my birthday month is coming to an end! And what a month it has been! It marks the close of one year of my life, and fortunately, another is beginning. I have been reflecting on the past year: where I was in April 2023, and where […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. It’s Saturday, and like most Saturdays for the past month or so, it’s usually something to do with Julie and Austin, the man. The weather is quite nice in England; if it’s not raining, it’s already good. It’s not too warm, but it’s sunny, and at least the forecast […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, bitterly cold, bursts of sunlight and sometimes showers. What a Saturday! I hadn’t seen Julie to go out with last night, but I had seen her in the morning when I went to the café. However, we couldn’t go out in the evening, as I had a class at 9:00 p.m. I did a tough […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cold, grey, damp and a lot of rain. In Brazil, it is the eve of Carnival. What I’ve heard from my pupils is that it is very hot and stuffy in Rio.

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, grey and damp. What do you do on a cold and slightly rainy Sunday in England? You go to the pub!

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, a little cold, grey, overcast and wet. It is Saturday, and I didn’t go out last night. I also don’t have anything planned socially for today, tonight, or tomorrow. I am surprised by myself that a night out, clubbing, meeting friends, or a girl, etc., are no longer the priorities of my life. Some men […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, chilly, grey and damp. Although it is not raining, it is extremely damp, and you can feel it in your bones.

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, cold, cloudy and with drizzle. Today has been basically one long walk. Up early, I worked on the computer, wrote in my journal, and then prepared to go out. I wanted to visit a second-hand motorbike dealer on the other side of Brierley Hill, near where my late grandfather lived. My mother knew that I […]

If it were 20 years ago, I would […]
