Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, quite warm, sunny and with a few clouds. My birthday was on 22 April, marking the start of my new year, and today also begins the first month of this new year. Last year was very good for me: I came to England, saved and invested money, saw my mother, and met many new and […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, quite warm, sunny with a few clouds. It is Tuesday, the last day of April. Tomorrow will be May 1st, Labour Day and a bank holiday in Brazil. For me, it also marks New Year’s Day or the start of my new year. My birthday month is coming to an end, along with the old […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 16 degrees, warm, sunny but slightly overcast. It’s April, and my birthday month is coming to an end! And what a month it has been! It marks the close of one year of my life, and fortunately, another is beginning. I have been reflecting on the past year: where I was in April 2023, and where […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, slightly sunny, overcast and with showers. Sunday is traditionally a day when I try to be alone in the morning, enjoy quality time with myself, and do what I want. Today was no different; I exercised alone, worked upstairs in my bedroom, and basically just relaxed. My mother was pottering about upstairs, coming […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, cold, slightly sunny, overcast with showers. Our lunch appointment is at 2:15 at the old Wharf Inn pub, in the old Wharf, very close to Lower High Street, Stourbridge. Julie was getting her things together in the morning, and I was doing the same. I exercised in the back garden and enjoyed some gardening, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, grey and overcast. It is the middle of the week, and I’m already tired. It’s been a marathon of a week, my birthday week, and it’s still going on. On Saturday, we visited Stourport and Bewdley with Austin and had lunch at the Hop Pole pub, which was decent but not outstanding. Later, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, grey, overcast and rainy. It is Tuesday, 23rd April, the day after my birthday. Regarding my birthday on the 22nd, there was a Brazilian bank holiday on the 21st—the day before. Tiradentes, a man who attempted to blow up parliament, bears a striking resemblance to Guy Fawkes in England. There is also another […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, grey, rainy and overcast. It is Monday, and it is my birthday. I’m 58 today—where has the time gone? It also feels a little strange that when I look at myself in the mirror, I see someone who looks older. Clearly, I’m not the person I was at 50, 40, or 30, and […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. It’s Saturday, and like most Saturdays for the past month or so, it’s usually something to do with Julie and Austin, the man. The weather is quite nice in England; if it’s not raining, it’s already good. It’s not too warm, but it’s sunny, and at least the forecast […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 15 degrees, sunny and slightly overcast. I’m dealing with a cold that doesn’t seem to be getting better, and the weather isn’t helping, with short bursts of sunshine trying to pierce the clouds and showers. I’m unable to exercise because I’m suffering too much from the cold. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I […]
