Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 0 degrees, very cold, but a beautiful sunny day with blue skies. I am having difficulty getting up early here as I normally do in Rio. In Rio, I wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. and head out for morning exercise at 5:30. Here in England, I’ve tried to replicate this routine by setting the alarm […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, cold, snowy, but the sun is shining with a beautiful, clear blue sky. It’s Monday, the start of the week. I’ve lost count of how many weeks I’ve been in England, probably about seven or eight. I woke up to a beautiful, bitterly cold day with a thin layer of snow on the ground from […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, sunny, overcast and rainy-everything imaginable and always cold. A Sunday full of surprises! Yesterday, I arranged with the head nurse at the hospital that before my mother is sent home by ambulance, someone would call me to inform me and to help me prepare for her arrival. It is midday and I haven’t received any […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold and dull. After having a very fruitful meeting with Carl last night, although it cleared up some questions and doubts, it also raised other questions that I had not previously considered. Many questions had already been considered before meeting Carl, while others had not. But after having a fascinating and enlightening talk with him, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, wet, damp and grey. It’s the end of the week, and I don’t have any classes today. Some pupils are still travelling, while others are not yet ready to return to their regular 100% schedule, and unfortunately, that includes English classes. Some will only be back to full steam after Carnival, which is a […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, bitterly cold but with beautiful blue skies. One degree is cold for anyone, and I certainly felt it this morning! When I arrived on November 25th, it was chilly and damp because it was raining. However, today’s cold feels different with the sunshine and a blue sky; it’s lovely. You need to dress warmly when […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold and cloudy with rain on the way. It is very cold, rainy and damp. This kind of weather I don’t remember from my childhood, which seems normal nowadays in England. I also believe the weather plays a significant role in shaping how we behave and live our lives on a day-to-day basis. In Rio, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, very cold, but with a clear blue sky. So, how do you spend a cold, wet Sunday in January in the West Midlands? With a load of old pensioners at a community centre for lunch, and very pleasant it was too! There appear to be numerous private community centres scattered throughout the region where my […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, windy, sunny and cold. This morning, I’m writing my journal entry in the café/coffee shop as if I were doing the same at the Portuguese bakers in Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro. It is where I did and now do 99.9% of my journal writing, away from the house and in a different, pleasant place. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, sunny with blue skies-a beautiful day. Friday is the last working day of the first working week of the year. Classes have been relatively slow this week, which was expected; however, money is still coming in. I’m investing, and I’m planning. Today and tomorrow, I want to study more about text-to-speech platforms and which […]
