Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Wednesday, the middle of the week and everything is good. The classes are going well, and I am taking some very nice photos of Aterro and Flamengo. Early morning photography is very gratifying. The light is perfect, there are few people out in the street who could spoil a shot, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, warmish, sunny, and beautiful clear blue skies. Tuesday, and my name is Dirt at home. Since I decided to try to force my younger daughter to change her habits and her routine, consequently changing her future, she is clearly showing her disapproval by trying to make my life hell at home. Purposefully showing that she […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Monday is the beginning of the week, and things are beginning to show light, a new start. The day began well with exercise early, a coffee on the way home, and classes the whole day, nothing new nor remarkable. I had not slept well the night before because I had […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is my second Sunday in Flamengo and more tranquil than last week’s Sunday; just arriving was a turbulent day of reorganisation and throwing stuff away so that there could be the minimum quality of life to work in peace. Now that everything has settled, this Sunday was special as […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny, slightly overcast and with heavy rain later. Surprisingly, even though Friday was difficult due to money issues, Saturday has been ok! I have enough money to take Yasmin for lunch, so I am ok. Nalva is working the whole day, so this helps, too. I got up early, went to Carmen Miranda Park, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Friday is the sixth day of living with my daughter and ex-wife and a day of contrasts. Exercise early in the morning with a walk and a coffee. My first class is at nine am, and everything is ok. Junior arrived midday, installed the new shower, and put the second […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, coolish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is Thursday and the fifth day of living in Flamengo with my daughter and my ex-wife; everything is good so far; nobody has died!!! The shower is broken, and Junior, the odd job man, promised to come today to begin the work. As promised, he arrived at midday, broke […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, cool, overcast and rainy. Wednesday is the middle point of the week and my fourth day living in Flamengo, and cracks are beginning to show, not in Flamengo but in my abode. As usual, I got up early, left home to exercise in the local park, and quickly returned for my first early class at […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. Tuesday is the third day of living in Flamengo with my ex-wife. Until now, everything has been OK, and it should still be in the early days. I get up early in Flamengo at 4:30 a.m. and am out in the street by 5:00 a.m. Today, I decided not to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. It’s my first Monday in this tiny flat with my daughter and ex-wife. I forgot to say that after exercising in Aterro de Flamengo, a public park, yesterday morning, I passed by Casa e Video, a utility DIY store. Luckily, it was open on a Sunday, so I could buy […]
