Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, overcast and damp. Yesterday, I bought a bird feeder, a small upright tower that can be hung from anywhere in the garden. I decided to hang it from the clothesline, about halfway along, with the prop away from the feeder so that the birds can come and go freely without anything in the way. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, bitterly cold, with foggy conditions in the morning that turned to rain for the rest of the day. It is a shitty day, very cold, rainy and damp, and even so, I want to go out for a walk around. I do not want to stay locked in at home. I found an excuse to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, very cold, grey, shitty and possible rain. It’s nearly the end of the month. Looking back a year, I was living in Copacabana, beginning to prepare for the move to Nalva’s in Botafogo. I was living quite comfortably in a small one-bedroom flat with a partial view of Copacabana Beach. The flat and the building […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, very cold, overcast and with possible rain. My weekends are relatively quiet and non-interesting in England. I don’t really have friends to go out with. Primarily, I don’t socially drink much nowadays, as I want to save money, and I don’t have a girlfriend or a flirt here. When Mondays come, it breaks the monotony […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, dark, grey, cold and a lot of rain. A freezing and shitty English day again. It has rained all day, and I don’t think it’s going to stop until tomorrow. I had drunk a couple of glasses of wine and beer the night before, and because of this, I’m feeling the effects. I’m feeling too […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast and with the possibility of rain. Stress at the West Bromwich Building Society in Kingswinford. Every Tuesday, my mother collects her pension from the West Bromwich Building Society in Kingswinford. She needs to withdraw the money there to deposit it in the Nationwide Building Society next door to pay her bills. I don’t […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cool, sunny, and slightly overcast. It’s lovely to see the weather milder than when I arrived. The nights are bitterly cold, and the days are mild by British standards. Spring is coming, and it is nice to see the trees along the canal paths and my mother’s next-door neighbours’ trees blossoming in a beautiful, dark […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, colder, greyer, overcast, and with the possibility of rain. It is early Saturday morning, not as early as if I were in Brazil, but still early; it is drizzly outside, with the rain stopping and starting all the time. I managed to do a quick half-hour workout on the back patio, combining skipping and elastic […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, coolish, sunny and bright with blue skies. What a day, one of the best days of my life, in terms of surprises and money! The inheritance from my uncle Mick came through. It was what I had expected; I would have liked to have received more, of course, but this small amount will help me […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, grey and damp, and with the possibility of rain. It’s shitty, cold, and dampness that reaches the bones, and you feel it on and off the whole day. People in Brazil are gradually returning to work today. The rule is that they have to return by midday on the Wednesday after Carnival. Some will only […]
