Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 23 degrees, warm, sunny and overcast. It is Thursday, and I’m tired and confused. I am not complaining. I have good health. I am living temporarily in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with perfect weather. I have money in the bank, not a lot, but I have it, and most of […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 24 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Julie contacted me yesterday, or on Friday. I can’t remember exactly, but it was the first time in almost a month. She asked me to call her. I did, and the conversation was a little cold at first, with both of us a little defensive. As we began […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 28 degrees, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Friday again, one more day in my life. It is good because it shows that I’m still alive and still fighting for what I want. Yesterday I had an online meeting with Alex, the web designer and programmer, so from now on he should be putting […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 27 degrees, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. Julie and I haven’t been messaging since last Thursday, and it feels much longer to me. I miss her, I miss us talking and communicating, but it may be better this way, and if she really was good for me. I had always felt, when I was with […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 27 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. I’ve been in England for just under two weeks, and the long-distance conversations between Julie and me are starting to feel stressful. It has become more difficult when I cannot speak to her, either because I am working, have something to do, or because […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 26 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. I am still in my first week back in Rio, Brazil, and I’m with mixed feelings. I am happy and content to be back and near Yasmin, Jessica, and Nalva, too, and, in many ways, to feel at home with what has been, more […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 28 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. I have been back in Rio for five days now, and I am trying to get into the old or maybe a new adapted routine. I had been doing all of this in England before, and now that I am back in Brazil, I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 20 degrees, warmish, sunny and a little overcast. It’s Monday, and the start of the week, I will return to Brazil. I thought I wouldn’t feel anxious or uptight, but I do. I was up early and exercising in the back garden. I had the usual chat with Julie this morning, which lasted nearly an hour. It […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, coldish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Saturday, and I am with mixed feelings. I think both Julie and I are with mixed feelings; only time will tell, sort it out, and show what is really right or wrong. My inheritance from my uncle, most of which I transferred into crypto gradually over the last […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warm, sunny but slightly overcast. It’s April, and my birthday month is coming to an end! And what a month it has been! It marks the close of one year of my life, and fortunately, another is beginning. I have been reflecting on the past year: where I was in April 2023, and where […]
