Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, cool and overcast. It is Sunday, a day that I normally reserve a part of to myself, if I were living alone, or more likely the whole day. I needed to change Rogerio’s shirt, a present I had taken to his birthday barbecue party the Sunday before. Surprisingly, it was too large for him, as […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot and sunny. It is Saturday, and today will be a full house.

On the way back, I had […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is Yasmin’s birthday; she is sixteen today; where has the time gone? The issue in the morning was that as she had school in the morning, I wanted to see her before she went, but I did not want to miss doing my exercise. So, I got up at […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, hottish, sunny, and slightly overcast. What an enjoyable Saturday! We went to a new cooperative outdoor food truck that looked more like a circus tent from a distance. Since I have been living in Botafogo/Flamengo, I have noticed that at the weekends, a food truck with circus tarpaulins is erected in the square at the […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, grey, cloudy and rainy. It is Monday of the last week of the month, and I have been living with my daughter and her mother.

Friday, the 26th of May 2023: “An Easy-Going Friday: A Teacher’s Life and the Value of Helping Others”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy later. Friday was a lucky day; my 7 am class was cancelled, and I pushed my 8 am class back one hour to 9 am, so now I am free from when I get up until nine. This means I can do a hard workout and do my things […]
Thursday the 25th of May 2023:“Copacabana and Flamengo in Rio”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy later. In the past, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would begin classes at 8 am, so they were the days where I could have a heavy workout as there were no time restrictions.

There has been a lot of progress in just one […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot, sunny, clear and slightly cloudy at the end of the day.

Saturday the 20th of May 2023:“A Temporary Solution to Life’s Challenges”!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. What a wonderful day! I am temporarily living with my ex-wife and my youngest daughter. This idea began when I had to give back my flat in Copacabana to the owner, who needed it due to her family’s needs. The apartment was not mine, so naturally, I had to go, […]
