Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. So, half the month has already passed, and everything has been paid for: rent, gas, electricity, etc., and other things like a new coat to go England and Nalva’s glasses, and there is still a reserve. This reserve is to finish the treatment of my teeth, which is my priority […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm and sunny. Sunday is the day I like to reserve at least the morning for myself. If I were living alone, like when I lived in Copacabana, and if Yasmin was not with me that weekend, I would love to be just alone, enjoying my own company. I would love early morning exercise and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and slightly overcast. It is the 15th, and for some reason, this week and half the month have gone very quickly. Nalva arrived back from Sao Paulo last night. We talked a little. She was happy to be back. She said she had worked a lot in Sao Paulo, but the experience was worth […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warm and Sunny and slightly overcast. It is the middle of the week, and it is just Yasmin and me. Nalva is travelling for work in Sao Paulo, and until now, nobody has died. Two are a company, but three are a crowd. It seems to be something like that, and probably, in some ways, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm and sunny. Nalva is travelling; it is just Yasmin, Perola, and me at home. The flat is noticeably quieter, and the ambience is lighter, and this is not just me saying it. I do not mind giving up a small part of my life for the next three or four months to share with […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warm and sunny. Monday, the beginning of the week, and everything is good. After a nice weekend, it is easier to start the week well. I have an early class at 7 am. The idea is to give the class and then go out and exercise, as the next class will only be at midday. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warmish and sunny. It is late afternoon, almost evening. I have worked out, worked, had a rest, and now I am bored. Yasmin is at home doing her things; Nalva said she would arrive later than usual, so I need to do something and go somewhere. After some contemplation, I decided to walk around Flamengo, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warmish and sunny. As I mentioned, I typically arrive on Fridays, I prefer not to have such a packed schedule. I need time to relax and turn off after a long week of classes. Sometimes, I have to give a class to Marcelo, a top bankruptcy lawyer on a Friday evening, but luckily, I gave […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish and sunny. It is Thursday, and as usual, I have a lot of classes today: twelve classes from 7 am to 7 pm, including one class with Dona Vera in Copacabana. So, I am up early and taking a long walk in the cold of the Carioca winter, only 16oC in the early morning. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is already Wednesday; half the week has already passed, and that is a good sign. Like anything else in life, if it is going slowly, there is something wrong. When it is fast, things are usually going the right way without too much stress. The classes are going well, […]
