Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold and dull. After having a very fruitful meeting with Carl last night, although it cleared up some questions and doubts, it also raised other questions that I had not previously considered. Many questions had already been considered before meeting Carl, while others had not. But after having a fascinating and enlightening talk with him, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, wet, damp and grey. It’s the end of the week, and I don’t have any classes today. Some pupils are still travelling, while others are not yet ready to return to their regular 100% schedule, and unfortunately, that includes English classes. Some will only be back to full steam after Carnival, which is a […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, grey, cold, overcast and damp. Waking up in a house alone is a luxury that I haven’t had for quite some time, being both good and strange. Being able to do anything you want, within reason, without worrying about someone else in the house is sublime. Walking naked from the bathroom after a shower to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, cold and overcast. Today has been a good day. Although it is bitterly cold and damp, it has turned out to be very good for many reasons. I dispatched my mother by taxi to the hospital at 7:00 a.m. She will undergo a knee surgery., The doctor said her knee was utterly shattered and would […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degree, bitterly cold but with beautiful blue skies. One degree is cold for anyone, and I certainly felt it this morning! When I arrived on November 25th, it was chilly and damp because it was raining. However, today’s cold feels different with the sunshine and a blue sky; it’s lovely. You need to dress warmly when […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold and cloudy with rain on the way. It is very cold, rainy and damp. This kind of weather I don’t remember from my childhood, which seems normal nowadays in England. I also believe the weather plays a significant role in shaping how we behave and live our lives on a day-to-day basis. In Rio, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, very cold, but with a clear blue sky. So, how do you spend a cold, wet Sunday in January in the West Midlands? With a load of old pensioners at a community centre for lunch, and very pleasant it was too! There appear to be numerous private community centres scattered throughout the region where my […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, windy, sunny and cold. This morning, I’m writing my journal entry in the café/coffee shop as if I were doing the same at the Portuguese bakers in Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro. It is where I did and now do 99.9% of my journal writing, away from the house and in a different, pleasant place. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, sunny with blue skies-a beautiful day. Friday is the last working day of the first working week of the year. Classes have been relatively slow this week, which was expected; however, money is still coming in. I’m investing, and I’m planning. Today and tomorrow, I want to study more about text-to-speech platforms and which […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, sunny, but the weather is trying to change. Typically, the first week of the year is short with few classes, and depending on when January 2nd falls, it is even shorter. Today is a day of basic routine, trying to get up early, which has been a battle while in England. Then, I […]
