Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
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: 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: 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 […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, cold, grey and damp. It is officially the last day of Carnival in Brazil, and tomorrow people will gradually start to return to work. Even more so on Thursday, and most, 100%, will be back next Monday. As I have mentioned before, regarding work and business, Brazilians consider the new year to begin on the […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey, damp and with the threat of rain. My feelings are a little mixed at the moment. I’m sensing that my time in England is coming to an end. My mother is giving me all the wrong signs that I am beginning to overstay my welcome. I have been trying to please her by […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, damp and slightly overcast. I was supposed to go to Merry Hill shopping centre today, but as I hate shopping centres and it is carnival in Brazil, I want to do very little! Instead, some shopping in the local village precinct, a coffee, and some work on the computer – nothing too much. My […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, chilly, wet, rainy and damp. What a crazy morning running back and forth from the building society for my mother. My mother had a knee replacement operation at the beginning of January, and until now she’s not unable to go out or drive. I can’t drive in England, or at least shouldn’t; it is something […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, damp, overcast, and the forecast is for rain. Monday of the week before Carnival in Brazil. It is cold, drizzly, damp, grey, and wet. I wanted to do some exercise this morning, but due to a heavy workout on Saturday, my legs are still sore, and it is difficult for me even to walk, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, cold, sunny and blue skies. Even though I wanted to do exercise outside, there were still sequelae from yesterday’s session. Instead, I thought it would be better to walk, get some shopping for my mother, and come back on foot. Ideally, it is good to do both, walking and exercise, but if for some reason […]
