Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. I have been in England for 19 days now, and I’m having a whale of a time. Not a good time as in partying and going out every night, but a whale of a time in respect to being able to do all the things I had come to England to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. I will be officially on holiday in a week and a half until the new year. I was going to go to Sheffield this coming weekend to visit my brother and his family, but after talking to my mother, I think it would be better to go for the new year. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, cloudy, and rainy. I have been in England for a little over two weeks now, and I am visiting places that are stuck in my memories from childhood and adolescence. Yesterday, I went to Mary Stevens Park and the house I shared when I was beginning my professional life and living alone. Today, I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, cold, cloudy and slightly rainy. My mother had an end-of-year event at her spiritualist church, which she frequents. My mother is a medium. She studied and trained for many years and has lectured in different countries, not just in England, about spiritualism, clairvoyance, and mediumship for over twenty years. She’s doing less now because she […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, cloudy and slightly rainy. It has been two weeks since I arrived in England, and the time has rushed by. Only after two weeks have, I got to talk to my brother. When I arrived on November 25th, my brother’s wife Debbie called me with the first words of incrimination: “Well, you kept this […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, overcast and rainy. I went to bed worrying about money and woke up without any problems. The morning was very foggy and extremely cold; I could feel it in my bones. I had a short walk to the canal to feed the ducks and swans. When I rattle my plastic container with their food, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, overcast and rainy. My second Sunday in England is wet. Last Sunday was beautifully sunny but cold; today, it has rained all day. The weather forecast for today and the next two weeks is rain, rain, and more rain. The lovely sunny but cold days are over, and I am now facing the reality […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: -1 degrees, frosty, cold, and overcast. When I woke up, -3 degrees was screaming at me. I could feel it in my bones. It is very cold, but I’m getting used to it quickly. Before travelling, this was a frequent discussion with my pupils in Brazil about whether I could adapt to the English cold. I feel […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degrees, cold, sunny, overcast and rainy. I’m trying to get up early here, like in Brazil, but it isn’t easy. At least the last two days, I have slept well. Instead of going out for an early walk and not wanting to get confused by class times clashing with the time differences between England and Brazil, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I’ve spent almost a week in England, including four working days of giving classes here despite the below-zero temperatures outside. Another night of sleeping badly. I think I got up at least 20 times to go to the toilet. For some reason, I couldn’t get off to sleep. I only […]
