Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, overcast and damp. Yesterday, I bought a bird feeder, a small upright tower that can be hung from anywhere in the garden. I decided to hang it from the clothesline, about halfway along, with the prop away from the feeder so that the birds can come and go freely without anything in the way. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, bitterly cold, with foggy conditions in the morning that turned to rain for the rest of the day. It is a shitty day, very cold, rainy and damp, and even so, I want to go out for a walk around. I do not want to stay locked in at home. I found an excuse to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, very cold, grey, shitty and possible rain. It’s nearly the end of the month. Looking back a year, I was living in Copacabana, beginning to prepare for the move to Nalva’s in Botafogo. I was living quite comfortably in a small one-bedroom flat with a partial view of Copacabana Beach. The flat and the building […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, fresh and sunny in the morning but cold in the afternoon and evening. It’s a beautiful, sunny, and fresh day. Exercise early, write in my journal early, and be ready to go out. When I’m in Brazil, I often say that I’m going to talk to the natives, or I will be with the natives, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, bitterly cold but sunny with blue skies. In the morning, it was a beautifully sunny day with blue skies, but in the afternoon, it was shitty weather with a lot of rain and bitterly cold. I usually have a class at 11 a.m. in England, which is 7 a.m. in Brazil. I sometimes expect the […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, dark, grey, cold and a lot of rain. A freezing and shitty English day again. It has rained all day, and I don’t think it’s going to stop until tomorrow. I had drunk a couple of glasses of wine and beer the night before, and because of this, I’m feeling the effects. I’m feeling too […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, damp, wet, and rainy the whole day. In the morning, it was raining heavily; I had to go out and take a urine sample to my mother’s doctor for testing. I also took the opportunity to do a little shopping at the butcher’s and the local supermarket. For the rest of the day, I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cool, sunny, and slightly overcast. It’s lovely to see the weather milder than when I arrived. The nights are bitterly cold, and the days are mild by British standards. Spring is coming, and it is nice to see the trees along the canal paths and my mother’s next-door neighbours’ trees blossoming in a beautiful, dark […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, colder, greyer, overcast, and with the possibility of rain. It is early Saturday morning, not as early as if I were in Brazil, but still early; it is drizzly outside, with the rain stopping and starting all the time. I managed to do a quick half-hour workout on the back patio, combining skipping and elastic […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, sunny, cool, with blue skies and the possibility of rain. Today is the first day my mother has left home after her surgery, apart from when she went to the doctors to have the surgical staples removed, and for physiotherapy at the hospital. My mother had booked a minibus service with ‘Ring and Ride’ that […]
