Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, cold, overcast and with showers. It’s the second day of the bank holiday in Brazil for Corpus Christi, and we still have the weekend ahead of us. Yesterday, we visited Clint Hills and took a trip down memory lane. We also washed Austin in the automated self-service dog bath, which was a blast! Today, Julie […]
Thursday, the 30th of May 2024: “A Sublime Day”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 18 degrees, cool, sunny and slightly overcast. Today has been a special day for me regarding my stay in England. I visited Clint Hills, a childhood treasure. Today is a bank holiday in Brazil, for Corpus Christi, so it’s a day off and the start of a long weekend. I woke up early, exercised both indoors and […]
Tuesday, the 28th of May 2024: “The Challenge of Local Businesses in the AMAZON Age”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 17 degrees, cool, sunny and slightly overcast. I’ve been having issues with the power cable for my laptop. It’s quite old, probably at least six or seven years, and I have already replaced the cable at least once before. Cables seem to be an issue for me. I bought a Google Watch 2 three months ago, and […]
Monday, the 27th of May 2024: “A Charming Day in Bridgnorth”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 18 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly cloudy. It is a bank holiday in England; I don’t know why, but it is. I don’t have classes until four or five this afternoon, so I am free to do something good until then. I am up early, having a typical morning, talking with Julie, exercising both inside and outside […]
Saturday, the 25th of May 2024: “Love, Life and Hard Choices”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 18 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly cloudy. It’s Saturday, and a big day for me. I have just bought my flight ticket back to Brazil. After a few arguments with my mother last week and the uncomfortable feeling I’ve had since dating Julie, I’ve been considering going back to Brazil for at least a couple of months […]
Thursday, the 23rd of May 2024: “Navigating Love, Family and the Search for Home”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 18 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly cloudy. It is Thursday, the day after a dreadful argument with my mother. I feel somewhat guilty for shouting and criticising what she has been doing all her life, and, more recently, for my visit to England and going out with Julie. It seems that the saying, “a leopard never changes […]
Wednesday, the 22nd of May 2024: “Toxicity, Conflict and 2 Coffees”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 15 degrees, cold, overcast, rainy and miserable. It is Wednesday, the middle of the week, and the day that sets off a series of events that could change everything. From morning until early afternoon, it was just normal, exercising, having an early conversation with Julie, working on a blog post, and giving classes until about 2:00 p.m. […]
Monday, the 20th of May 2024: “Toxic Stormy Waters”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 21 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Monday, the beginning of the week, and the storm is brewing, though not climactic. I am not sure exactly what kind of storm it is, but for sure, it is with my mother in the eye of it. My relationship with my mother has always been difficult and […]
Saturday, the 18th of May 2024: “A Delightful Day”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 22 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. Saturday, thank goodness for Saturdays! A day when I can organise my thoughts, simply by having time for myself, without thinking about classes, blog posting, etc. It is so lovely to get up in the morning and not worry about the time or what needs to be done. Exercise early, […]
Friday, the 17th of May 2024: “Investment Landscapes”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 22 degrees, hot, sunny with blue skies. This Friday has been my crypto day. I have bought the most Bitcoin I have ever bought in a single day. Compared to those with a sizable amount of money or a substantial investment portfolio, it would seem like small change, but for me, it was quite a lot. Why […]
