Saturday, the 23rd of March 2024: “Our special Day at Worcester and After”!!!

17 de September, 2025 No Comments

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 […]

Friday, the 22nd of March 2024: “Navigating Through Life and Love”!!!

16 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, sunny but slightly cloudy. Just a typical Friday with classes running late into the evening. The weight of the week is beginning to show, and I am feeling tired. This is normal and common; if I were in Brazil, it would be the same. However, what differs is working until 10 or 11 p.m., which […]

Thursday, the 21st of March 2024: “Serendipity with a Twist”!!!

15 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast and trying to rain. What a great Thursday! The beginning was a little strange, with twists and turns, but by the end of the day, everything was good. If I hadn’t sent a message to Julie first thing, then she wouldn’t have sent me a message, which makes the whole situation seem petty, […]

Wednesday, the 20th of March 2024: “Looking for Balance”!!!

14 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, fresh, overcast and with rain later. It is Wednesday, the middle of the week, and we’re nearing the end of the month. A lot is happening in my personal life. This beautiful, little, perfect woman has now taken up a large part of my life. It was not planned to be so violent at such […]

Monday, the 18th of March 2024: “Inter-Family Connections”!!!

12 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, a little sunny, slightly overcast but pleasant. It is the first day of the week, and it is so good to have a good weekend before you begin the week on Monday. My weekend, going out with Julie twice on Saturday and once on Sunday, contributed a lot to a great weekend and the […]

Sunday, the 17th of March 2024: “Breaking Free and Self-Assertion”!!!

11 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, mild with rain in the morning but promising to clear up during the day. So, after Saturday, which was generally good, bordering on excellent, Sunday was meant to be less eventful but turned out to be the opposite. I woke up early, did my usual exercises, put seed and food in the bird feeders, and […]

Friday, the 15th of March 2024: “Connection and Car Park Rendezvous”!!!

9 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, grey, and overcast with showers. It’s grey and miserable but not too cold. It is Friday, so it should have been a simpler day, and it was. One class in the morning, a couple in the late afternoon, and one at 9:00 p.m. Between the classes, posting a blog, journal writing, coffees and teas […]

Thursday, the 14th of March 2024: “The First Real Kiss”!!!

8 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, chilly, grey, dark and rain is promised. I’m not sure if I wrote this yesterday so that I might be repeating myself a bit, but it’s interesting how we often relax and don’t expect things to happen, yet when we plan and push the situation, it doesn’t always turn out as we want or expect. […]

Wednesday, the 13th of March 2024: “Emotional Realities”!!!

7 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, grey, and miserable. It is remarkable how our lives can change from water to wine in a day, an hour, or even a minute. Life can knock us down and then lift us up again immediately. Over the last month, I have been thinking, imagining, and even obsessing about this beautiful, little, perfect woman. […]

Tuesday, the 12th of March 2024: “A Heartfelt Workday”!!!

6 de September, 2025 No Comments

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, grey, damp, cold and shitty. Today has been a mixed day. It has been good because work has gone well. I have a new pupil, everyone is paying me on time, and my crypto investment is soaring. I can’t say the same for my Tesla shares; they are 30% down since I bought them. I […]
