Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, chilly, sunny and slightly overcast. Today is the day I am taking a blood test, the first in a long time. The last time I voluntarily had a blood test was when I was dating Jacqueline over six years ago. However, during my emergency appendicitis operation, several blood tests were likely carried out at […]
Tuesday, the 16th of April 2024: “West Brom’s Quirks and Stress”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, chilly, sunny and slightly overcast. Tuesday is the day I usually visit the two building societies in Kingswinford village for my mother. She receives money at one and pays her bills at the other, which isn’t very logical. I’ve suggested she simplify this by having just one account for both, but she doesn’t want […]
Sunday, the 14th of April 2024: “A Great Day in Bewdley”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, warmish, sunny but slightly overcast. Saturday was an action-packed day, with Julie and me visiting multiple places, some planned and others not. I was tired in the evening, so it was great to get a good night’s sleep of more than six hours, which is really beneficial for me. I was up quite early […]
Saturday, the 13th of April 2024: “Greyhounds, and Much More”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warmish and overcast. Saturday morning, the weather is a little iffy, but hopefully it will clear up so we can see the dogs. Julie and I had arranged to visit a dog shelter to see some greyhounds, with the possibility of adopting one in the future. The shelter is on the other side of […]
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 […]
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 […]
Thursday, the 28th of March 2024: “Thinking About Building a New Life in England”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, bitterly cold, grey and rainy. It is the eve of the Easter bank holiday in Brazil, and depending on each business owner in England, it may or may not be a holiday. Officially, it is an Easter bank holiday on the Monday. I spoke to both Nalva and Yasmin today, asking them to buy chocolates […]
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, […]
Tuesday, the 19th of March 2024: “A Special Moment of Reflection and Contemplation”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, slightly sunny, overcast with the possibility of rain later. I had to put the bin out!!! On Monday night, you need to put the bins out for the dustmen to come and empty them, usually in the early hours of Tuesday, to collect the rubbish or the garbage. When I got up, they had already […]
