Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy and chilly. It’s not as cold as it was last week, but it’s stormy, with the second storm hitting England in a week. The weather is very windy, a little rainy, grey, and bleak, but it’s still possible to go out and do whatever needs to be done. I have the option to withdraw […]
Thursday the 11th of January 2024: “Hospital, Solitude and the Price of Life”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, grey, cold, overcast and damp. Waking up in a house alone is a luxury that I haven’t had for quite some time, being both good and strange. Being able to do anything you want, within reason, without worrying about someone else in the house is sublime. Walking naked from the bathroom after a shower to […]
Tuesday the 9th of January 2024: “The Cold: Past and Present”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, bitterly cold but with beautiful blue skies. One degree is cold for anyone, and I certainly felt it this morning!

Monday the 8th of January 2024: “Contrasting Weather and Its Effect”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold and cloudy with rain on the way. It is very cold, rainy and damp. This kind of weather I don’t remember from my childhood, which seems normal nowadays in England. I also believe the weather plays a significant role in shaping how we behave and live our lives on a day-to-day basis. In Rio, […]
Saturday the 7th of January 2024: “Sunday Lunch at a Community Centre”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, very cold, but with a clear blue sky. So, how do you spend a cold, wet Sunday in January in the West Midlands? With a load of old pensioners at a community centre for lunch, and very pleasant it was too! There appear to be numerous private community centres scattered throughout the region where my […]
Friday the 5h of January 2024: “Kickstarting a Productive Year through Routine”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, sunny with blue skies-a beautiful day. Friday is the last working day of the first working week of the year. Classes have been relatively slow this week, which was expected; however, money is still coming in. I’m investing, and I’m planning.

Wednesday the 3rd of January 2024: “Building Healthy Habits at the Start of the New Year”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge: 8 degrees, and with a beautiful blue sky, but with the threat of rain. It’s the new year, and although it’s only the first week, it’s essential to start off on the right foot with the right habits and routine. For some reason, I’m having trouble getting up early, as I’m used to doing in Brazil. I’m not […]

Wordsley, Stourbridge: 9 degrees, cold but sunny with clear skies in the morning. Wishing everybody a sincere, happy, and prosperous new year!!! Coming into the new year has been pleasant and straightforward with my mother—the first time in a long, long time. Being accustomed to the chaos of Rio de Janeiro at Réveillon-New Year, having a quiet New Year without […]
Wednesday the 27th of December 2023: “Reunion and Reflection in Sheffield”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, rainy; a shitty day. It’s time to head to the north of England to meet my brother and his family after over 20 years. I set the alarm for 6:00 a.m., but I didn’t get up until 7:00 a.m. I worked on the computer, saved my work, finished packing my suitcase, and then woke […]
Tuesday the 26th of December 2023: “A Walk-Through Memories and Change”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, but a beautiful day. Today turned out to be a challenging walk. I left home not knowing where I would go and not interested in walking far, which is the opposite of what finally happened. I found myself going back to York Crescent, where I spent most of my childhood. There was a route […]
