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 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 […]
Friday, the 12th of April 2024: “Cafes, Connections and Amazing Baltis”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cool, sunny and slightly overcast. Friday is a day filled with movement in the morning and evening. Waking early, a brief half-hour chat on the phone with Julie, then exercise, a blog post, and out into the street. It is Friday, so I don’t usually have any classes early, which allows me to do […]

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, warm, sunny but slightly overcast. Thursday, a typical day with classes, resolving problems and online work until late in the evening.

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, stormy, rainy and very miserable. Monday is the beginning of the week, and it is always a good start if the weekend was good.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
