Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. What a wonderful day! I am temporarily living with my ex-wife and my youngest daughter. This idea began when I had to give back my flat in Copacabana to the owner, who needed it due to her family’s needs. The apartment was not mine, so naturally, I had to go, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Friday and almost the weekend. I have created a healthy routine where I get up early and exercise daily. Even before physically getting out of bed, I do three exercises. As soon as I am up, I make my bed, which is folding up the bed linen, putting it away […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is Thursday, and it is a good day. Tomorrow will be Friday, and then the weekend, but now it is Thursday, and I have plans for today. I have the usual early morning routine: up early, exercise, coffee, preparation before the classes, etc. One of my pupils, an old […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Wednesday, the middle of the week and everything is good. The classes are going well, and I am taking some very nice photos of Aterro and Flamengo. Early morning photography is very gratifying. The light is perfect, there are few people out in the street who could spoil a shot, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, warmish, sunny, and beautiful clear blue skies. Tuesday, and my name is Dirt at home. Since I decided to try to force my younger daughter to change her habits and her routine, consequently changing her future, she is clearly showing her disapproval by trying to make my life hell at home. Purposefully showing that she […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Monday is the beginning of the week, and things are beginning to show light, a new start. The day began well with exercise early, a coffee on the way home, and classes the whole day, nothing new nor remarkable. I had not slept well the night before because I had […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is my second Sunday in Flamengo and more tranquil than last week’s Sunday; just arriving was a turbulent day of reorganisation and throwing stuff away so that there could be the minimum quality of life to work in peace. Now that everything has settled, this Sunday was special as […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny, slightly overcast and with heavy rain later. Surprisingly, even though Friday was difficult due to money issues, Saturday has been ok! I have enough money to take Yasmin for lunch, so I am ok. Nalva is working the whole day, so this helps, too. I got up early, went to Carmen Miranda Park, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Friday is the sixth day of living with my daughter and ex-wife and a day of contrasts. Exercise early in the morning with a walk and a coffee. My first class is at nine am, and everything is ok. Junior arrived midday, installed the new shower, and put the second […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, coolish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is Thursday and the fifth day of living in Flamengo with my daughter and my ex-wife; everything is good so far; nobody has died!!! The shower is broken, and Junior, the odd job man, promised to come today to begin the work. As promised, he arrived at midday, broke […]
