Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, overcast and rainy. My second Sunday in England is wet. Last Sunday was beautifully sunny but cold; today, it has rained all day. The weather forecast for today and the next two weeks is rain, rain, and more rain. The lovely sunny but cold days are over, and I am now facing the reality […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degrees, cold, sunny, overcast and rainy. I’m trying to get up early here, like in Brazil, but it isn’t easy. At least the last two days, I have slept well. Instead of going out for an early walk and not wanting to get confused by class times clashing with the time differences between England and Brazil, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I’ve spent almost a week in England, including four working days of giving classes here despite the below-zero temperatures outside. Another night of sleeping badly. I think I got up at least 20 times to go to the toilet. For some reason, I couldn’t get off to sleep. I only […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and rainy. It is my second day working remotely in England. It is good; there have been no hiccups until now. In the morning, I got up relatively early at about 7:00 a.m. It is not a time to Rio de Janeiro standards at 4:30 or five, but I may get there shortly. As […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. My mother had said the day before that she would like to buy me a coat, an anorak, because of the cold and rain due to the English weather. The idea was to visit the Marks and Spencer store at Merry Hill shopping centre to buy one. Maryhill is situated […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I woke up Saturday morning after a deep sleep. I’m sleeping better here in England than I did in Brazil. Unfortunately, I missed my usual wake-up time, which is, at the latest, 6:00 a.m. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time difference or simply the accumulated tiredness from […]
Rio de Janeiro: 32 degrees, hot, sunny and overcast. Today was meant to be the day I travelled, at least for the first leg. However, it has been delayed by a day for some reason, so I will now only be travelling tomorrow. As a result, I utilised my time effectively to tackle some minor tasks. In the morning, I […]
Rio de Janeiro: 27 degrees, hottish, sunny, overcast and unstable. It is the last Sunday before I go to England. The countdown is only three days away, and I have two days to do my online check-in. I took Perola for a walk in the morning. It had rained at night, but the streets and the park were already dry […]
Rio de Janeiro: 30 degrees, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. Yesterday was a bank holiday, falling on a Wednesday, right in the middle of the week. So, the week is already disrupted, as today and tomorrow won’t be normal working days. Perhaps I’m saying this because my mind is already in travel mode. It’s as if I’m already on the […]
Rio de Janeiro: 28 degrees, hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. The sun was so hot this morning while I was walking in the street with Perola that, instead of taking a longer walk, we hurried home before 9:00 a.m. because I was worried about her. Rio in the summer is incredibly hot! You can fry an egg on the pavement. […]
