Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, a beautiful morning with the weather closing later in the day. This is my third day of exercising outside on the patio in my mother’s back garden, and it can’t get any better. Sometimes, when working out in Rio with temperatures ranging from 20 to 30°, I would feel euphoric. Here, the effect of the […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, cold, sunny and blue skies. Even though I wanted to do exercise outside, there were still sequelae from yesterday’s session. Instead, I thought it would be better to walk, get some shopping for my mother, and come back on foot. Ideally, it is good to do both, walking and exercise, but if for some reason […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey, grim and very damp. It was bitterly cold overnight, and at 7 in the morning, the temperature was -1 °C. I got up, washed, and put on clothes to exercise out on the patio in the back garden again. Today has seemed much colder than yesterday, and my skipping rope seemed shorter than […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey and very damp. As I wrote yesterday, this week is dedicated to planning, setting goals, and outlining priorities and routines for the year, or at least for the next six months, until the end of the year. It is 6° during the day, but it was 1° when I got up at 7:00 […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold and overcast. A crazy day of housework and getting half drunk! As I have said many times before, I have been having difficulty getting up early in England, as I usually do in Brazil. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time difference; my body clock is still set to the Brazilian time […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, chilly, sunny with a clear blue sky. Today, I only have two classes, one at 7:00 am Brazilian time, which was cancelled 1/4 of an hour before the class, and the other at 6:00 pm Brazilian time, which is 9:00 pm here in England on a Friday. If it were 20 years ago, I would […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, a little sunny but overcast. It has been exactly two weeks to the day since my mother had her knee surgery. On Monday, she went for her first physio session. Interestingly, the physiotherapist gave my mother various printed sheets stipulating and showing her the exercises that she needs to do every day. For me, this […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy and chilly. It’s not as cold as it was last week, but it’s stormy, with the second storm hitting England in a week. The weather is very windy, a little rainy, grey, and bleak, but it’s still possible to go out and do whatever needs to be done. I have the option to withdraw […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, warmer with a grey sky and with the sun trying to appear. It’s Sunday, cold, and everybody is waiting for a storm that is supposedly arriving late today. It’s already windy, but nothing can stop me from going out for a walk. I’m leaving home at about 8:30 and I’m going straight to the canal […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: -3 degrees during the night. During the day, it is 3 degrees with sun and blue skies. It’s bitterly cold in Wordsley, but still sunny, which is a plus! I’m trying to get up early, but as I’ve mentioned before, it seems almost impossible until now. The three-hour difference also seems to coincide with my 8:00 a.m. […]
