Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, a little sunny, slightly overcast but pleasant. It is the first day of the week, and it is so good to have a good weekend before you begin the week on Monday. My weekend, going out with Julie twice on Saturday and once on Sunday, contributed a lot to a great weekend and the […]
Sunday, the 17th of March 2024: “Breaking Free and Self-Assertion”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, mild with rain in the morning but promising to clear up during the day. So, after Saturday, which was generally good, bordering on excellent, Sunday was meant to be less eventful but turned out to be the opposite. I woke up early, did my usual exercises, put seed and food in the bird feeders, and […]
Thursday, the 14th of March 2024: “The First Real Kiss”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, chilly, grey, dark and rain is promised. I’m not sure if I wrote this yesterday so that I might be repeating myself a bit, but it’s interesting how we often relax and don’t expect things to happen, yet when we plan and push the situation, it doesn’t always turn out as we want or expect. […]
Wednesday, the 13th of March 2024: “Emotional Realities”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, grey, and miserable. It is remarkable how our lives can change from water to wine in a day, an hour, or even a minute. Life can knock us down and then lift us up again immediately. Over the last month, I have been thinking, imagining, and even obsessing about this beautiful, little, perfect woman. […]
Tuesday, the 12th of March 2024: “A Heartfelt Workday”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, grey, damp, cold and shitty. Today has been a mixed day. It has been good because work has gone well. I have a new pupil, everyone is paying me on time, and my crypto investment is soaring. I can’t say the same for my Tesla shares; they are 30% down since I bought them. I […]
Thursday, the 7th of March 2024: “Love and Loneliness Through the Generations”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, bitterly cold but sunny and slightly overcast. Each day, this little woman is becoming more and more present in my life. I am trying to stop myself from being too involved, but she’s invading my heart. When I came to England, I hadn’t thought of getting involved or looking for somebody while staying here, not […]
Thursday the 29th of February 2024: “Hummingbird Symphony”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, overcast and damp. Yesterday, I bought a bird feeder, a small upright tower that can be hung from anywhere in the garden. I decided to hang it from the clothesline, about halfway along, with the prop away from the feeder so that the birds can come and go freely without anything in the way. […]
Wednesday the 28th of February 2024: “Finding Joy and Purpose in Simple Things and Others”!!!
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 […]
Monday the 19th of February 2024: “Spring, and Brazil’s New Year”!!!
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 […]
Saturday the 17th of February 2024: “A Lime Squeezer Reflection”!!!
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 […]
