Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 18 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly cloudy. It is a bank holiday in England; I don’t know why, but it is. I don’t have classes until four or five this afternoon, so I am free to do something good until then. I am up early, having a typical morning, talking with Julie, exercising both inside and outside […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 27 degrees, very hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. It is Monday, a new week, and I feel relatively good for having a quiet weekend, which also included verbalising my feelings with Julie. Last Friday, the eve of the weekend, I went to the doctors. I wasn’t attended by a doctor but by a nurse who […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 27 degrees, very hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. Sunday, almost my whole day off from everybody. Julie and I are not 100%. There are some issues which are normal in any relationship. Especially at the beginning, when you are both finding your way, and also when dating today is all so much more complicated and […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 24 degrees, hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. It’s Friday, and I’m tired, but it’s a big day for me because I have a doctor’s appointment at 7:00 p.m. Well, I believe it’s a doctor’s appointment; it’s at the GP health clinic where I recently registered myself. It could be a nurse or a doctor; I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 23 degrees, hot, sunny and with blue skies. It is Thursday, and I start to feel tired as the day progresses. Later, the accumulation of classes, work, etc., begins to take its toll; however, knowing that tomorrow is Friday helps a lot. Usual early morning exercise and a bit of skipping; it’s a lovely day for England […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is a bank holiday in England, Labour Day. It was last Wednesday in Brazil, but any bank holiday in the middle of the week in England is moved to the following Monday. So, for me, it is a little complicated to juggle the same bank holiday on different days. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It’s Sunday, and traditionally in England it’s the day for a family lunch —the usual Sunday lunch. I feel that my mother is trying to compete with Julie for attention, control, and perhaps even to sabotage my relationship. It has become clear that every Sunday she pretty much decides what […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 17 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Exercising and skipping early, it is a beautiful day. The sun is shining, and the sky is blue with a few clouds. I watered the lawn and tidied up around the path. With the new turf laid on Thursday, my mother’s back garden looks really special. I have also started […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, grey and overcast. It is the middle of the week, and I’m already tired. It’s been a marathon of a week, my birthday week, and it’s still going on. On Saturday, we visited Stourport and Bewdley with Austin and had lunch at the Hop Pole pub, which was decent but not outstanding. Later, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny with showers. It is curry night at Wetherspoons. Julie likes Indian food, specifically curries, and it is curry night at every Wetherspoons in England every Thursday. Funny enough, there is no discount or special price for Thursdays, and Indian curries are offered all week round during Curry night at Wetherspoons. I woke up […]
