Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 30 degrees, hot, sunny, and with beautiful blue skies. It is the beginning of a new working week, and I am starting a blog revision. I am not happy with the general layout of each post, so I’m updating each one, and everyone is also to iron out any mistakes that have been overlooked. I […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 33 degrees, hot, sunny, but slightly cloudy. It is Sunday. I am with a super cold. I should have had lunch at the Yacht Club, but I was too sick to go, so I had to cancel. Today, I do not want to do much—a long walk in the morning to try to open up […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 29 degrees, hot, Sunny but slightly cloudy. Today I was meant to have lunch at the Yacht Club with Dona Regina and her husband, Roberto. They had invited both Yasmin and me for lunch there, and we had already enjoyed a meal with them at the club a couple of years ago. Because of the […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 27 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. It is Friday and the beginning of the weekend. The conversation between Julie and me has gone down a lot over the past couple of days. I have been a little off with her since Tuesday; I had to go out, and Nalva was […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 28 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. It is Thursday, and while I am happy with the classes and the revision I am currently doing on all blog posts, I am tired, worried, and insecure. It hasn’t been a month since I returned to Brazil, and my thoughts are more focused […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 27 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. I’ve been in England for just under two weeks, and the long-distance conversations between Julie and me are starting to feel stressful. It has become more difficult when I cannot speak to her, either because I am working, have something to do, or because […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 29 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. It has been 11 days since I returned to Rio, and I feel somewhat back in the rhythm of things. I manage early exercise in the mornings when I can, along with classes and blogging, but it still feels like it’s not enough. I […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 29 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. It’s Monday again, the start of a new week, so there are many tasks to tackle. At the moment, I don’t have any early classes on a Monday, and I am currently in sync with Brazil, with no time difference. In England, I was […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 30 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. Just a simple light exercise in the morning at the park. On the way back, I stopped by the Portuguese bakers and, while having two coffees, I wrote two journal entries. A good start to a Sunday. Nalva is working today, so it is […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 29 degrees, hot, Sunny and beautiful blue skies; a beautiful day. When I visited England in November last year, I didn’t take my TRX straps; I only brought a skipping rope that later broke. Due to the cold winter months of December and January, it was difficult for me to exercise outside in my mother’s […]
