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 […]
Saturday, the 25th of May 2024: “Love, Life and Hard Choices”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 18 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly cloudy. It’s Saturday, and a big day for me. I have just bought my flight ticket back to Brazil. After a few arguments with my mother last week and the uncomfortable feeling I’ve had since dating Julie, I’ve been considering going back to Brazil for at least a couple of months […]
Thursday, the 16th of May 2024: “Health and Relationships in England”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 17 degrees, warmish, sunny, slightly overcast and with showers. It is Thursday, and this week seems to have gone relatively quickly. I am a little tired, counting the days to the weekend, and my head is a mess. I am beginning to feel the effects of living with my mother. Last week, the doctor or nurse had […]
Sunday, the 12th of May 2024: “Life’s Complexities”!!!
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 […]
Saturday, the 11th of May 2024: “Living with Uncertainty”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 24 degrees, hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. It’s Saturday, the weekend, and I’m feeling exhausted about everything in my life. Things don’t seem 100% clear to me, and when they’re not, I follow my intuition. My situation and relationship with Julie are difficult for me. We both do not have our own places, which makes […]
Monday, the 15th of April 2024: “Cafe Politics”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, rainy and overcast. It is Monday, following a busy weekend spent going to various places with Julie. A visit to the greyhound shelter to see such beautiful dogs, Wolverhampton, that I haven’t been to for such a long time, and finally going to Stourbridge for a late lunch, early dinner. It was important […]
Sunday, the 7th of April 2024: “Weathering Kathleen and Reflections on Life, Love, and Change”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. It’s Sunday, and Kathleen, the storm that has hit England. In the West Midlands, where my mother lives, it is incredibly windy, with some wooden fences being blown down in the back garden, and there is a lot of rain and cold. I exercised in the morning and spoke […]
Tuesday, the 2nd of April 2024: “True Connection”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and grey with bursts of sunshine. It’s Tuesday, back to work, and I feel relieved. It is always very nice to have time off, a break, a bank holiday or even holidays, but for me, returning to work is a relief. I feel down when I spend a long time without working. I think […]
Friday, the 22nd of March 2024: “Navigating Through Life and Love”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, sunny but slightly cloudy. Just a typical Friday with classes running late into the evening. The weight of the week is beginning to show, and I am feeling tired. This is normal and common; if I were in Brazil, it would be the same. However, what differs is working until 10 or 11 p.m., which […]
Thursday, the 21st of March 2024: “Serendipity with a Twist”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast and trying to rain. What a great Thursday! The beginning was a little strange, with twists and turns, but by the end of the day, everything was good. If I hadn’t sent a message to Julie first thing, then she wouldn’t have sent me a message, which makes the whole situation seem petty, […]
