Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cool, sunny and slightly overcast. Friday is a day filled with movement in the morning and evening. Waking early, a brief half-hour chat on the phone with Julie, then exercise, a blog post, and out into the street. It is Friday, so I don’t usually have any classes early, which allows me to do […]
Wednesday, the 10th of April 2024: “Simple Things: Coffee and Company”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, grey, rainy and miserable. It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week. If I were in Brazil in the past, it would have been an excuse to go out, meet someone, buy some beers or wine, have a drink, and listen to some good music or watch a film. I could go out with […]
Monday, the 8th of April 2024: “English Rain, Reflection and Connection”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. Monday is the beginning of the week, and it is always a good start if the weekend was good. The weekend was very good with a day visit to Kinver Edge, and the town for lunch with Julie on the Saturday, and even though we did not meet yesterday […]
Saturday, the 6th of April 2024: “A Day of Discovery at Kinver Edge”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, sunny, slightly grey and overcast. It is Saturday, the weekend and time to go out with my beautiful, little, perfect woman. She picked me up at about 10:30, and we went to Kinver Edge for the second time with her dog, Austin. The man! We parked the car at the Edge and walked for […]
Friday, the 5th of April 2024: “Kindness, and Poetry at Wordsley Cafe on The Green”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cold, cloudy and rainy. Friday has been a typical day, except that Julie gave me a lift into the local village. I got up, did a heavy workout, had some coffee and gave my first class at 11 a.m. English time. I then got ready to go out. I needed to buy some groceries, but […]
Thursday, the 4th of April 2024: “A Morning Canal Walk”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and chilly, cloudy with bursts of sunshine and trying to rain. I’m up early and exercising in the back living room and outside on the patio. I mentioned to Julie that it would be nice to take an early walk with Austin, her dog, along the canal. She took it literally and called me […]
Wednesday, the 3rd of April 2024: “Routine, Power and Purpose”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, grey, miserable and rainy. I’m glad to be back at work after a long Easter bank holiday, as it was a bank holiday in Brazil on Friday and another in England on Monday, which completely disrupted my routine for staying healthy, productive, and earning money. I faced the same issue in Brazil, where the long […]
Monday, the 1st of April 2024: “A Perfect Day: Hagley and The Dog at Harvington”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast, rain in the morning, but the sky is clear with sun later in the day. It is Easter Monday in England, a bank holiday, but a regular working day in Brazil. Brazil’s Easter bank holiday was on Good Friday, and in some cases, it also included Thursday. I was a bit unsure whether […]
Sunday, the 31st of March 2024: “Easter Sunday Lunch at The Green Man-Swindon”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, bitterly cold, grey and rainy. It is Easter Sunday, and the weather is very shitty. I was up later than usual due to my night at the pub, but more importantly, a full day with Julie yesterday. I only got out of bed at 2:00 p.m., after raiding the Kitchen with sandwiches and a couple […]
Saturday, the 30th of March 2024: “A Couple in Stourbridge”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny, warm in the sun but cold in the shade. Saturday was a marathon day, during which I accomplished quite a lot, and for me, the activities of the day were more enjoyable than those at night. It is a beautiful, sunny day — a truly sunny day, with it being warm in the sun […]
