Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 34oC, hot, sunny, clear blue sky. I am not feeling well today. After yesterday’s confusion, a flood of memories returned, reminding me of the same situation. The first time we lived together, Nalva went to work while I decided to clean and tidy the house. Instead of being happy and grateful when she returned, she was […]
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: 25oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is hot, humid, and cloudy. I took Perola for a walk and did some exercise early. It is trying to rain, but it is not succeeding. Thursdays are the days with the most classes, especially in the afternoon when I have a presential class with Dona Vera in Copacabana. […]
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: 26oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It was overcast and cool in the morning, but there was no rain. However, there was a lot of rain in the afternoon and at night. It is interesting how the weather can strongly influence us, especially in a city like Rio. Rio is a tropical city, so the norm […]
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: […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Monday again, the start of a new week and the month’s final week. I will travel to England on November 22nd, less than two months away. The countdown has begun!!! This will be the first time I have been to England in over 22 years, almost a generation. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 35oC, very hot and sticky. Sunday was similar to yesterday. I was up early and worked out at the park with Perola. Nowadays, she is my faithful companion when exercising at the park and walking around the neighbourhood on the way home. I must not forget the coffee I had earlier before everything else. It is […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, sunny and sticky. The calm after the storm. After the confusion of the night before, in the morning, it was still. It felt like walking on eggshells. Nalva went to work, and Yasmin went to school. They left together and returned together as planned. I was slightly worried because they only arrived at 5:00 […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Today was good and bad! First, I was alone, and being alone allowed me to do many things. When you are dead, it is difficult. I do not understand how so many people wake up in a bad mood every day. One more day that you are alive is one […]
