Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, very cold, sunny and slightly overcast with the possibility of snow. The forecast is for snow for the next couple of days. Still, I’m not so sure it is not uncommon to have snow in either February or March in England. My mother said that there was snow in England in April last year, but […]
Tuesday the 6th of February 2024: “Bureaucracy, Clutter and Simplification”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, chilly, wet, rainy and damp. What a crazy morning running back and forth from the building society for my mother. My mother had a knee replacement operation at the beginning of January, and until now she’s not unable to go out or drive. I can’t drive in England, or at least shouldn’t; it is something […]
Monday the 5th of February 2024: “A Reflection on Quality, Trade and Brazil’s Future”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, damp, overcast, and the forecast is for rain. Monday of the week before Carnival in Brazil. It is cold, drizzly, damp, grey, and wet. I wanted to do some exercise this morning, but due to a heavy workout on Saturday, my legs are still sore, and it is difficult for me even to walk, […]
Sunday the 4th of February 2024: “A Two Pub Crawl”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, grey and damp. What do you do on a cold and slightly rainy Sunday in England? You go to the pub! I worked in the morning, but I didn’t do any exercise as I am still sore, very sore from the workout yesterday. My mother suggested that we have a late lunch and also […]
Saturday the 3rd of February 2024: “Goals and Gratitude”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, a little cold, grey, overcast and wet. It is Saturday, and I didn’t go out last night. I also don’t have anything planned socially for today, tonight, or tomorrow. I am surprised by myself that a night out, clubbing, meeting friends, or a girl, etc., are no longer the priorities of my life. Some men […]
Friday the 2nd of February 2024: “New Online Beginnings”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, a beautiful morning with the weather closing later in the day. This is my third day of exercising outside on the patio in my mother’s back garden, and it can’t get any better. Sometimes, when working out in Rio with temperatures ranging from 20 to 30°, I would feel euphoric. Here, the effect of the […]
Thursday the 1st of February 2024: “A Small Reflection Between Life in England and Rio”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, cold, sunny and blue skies. Even though I wanted to do exercise outside, there were still sequelae from yesterday’s session. Instead, I thought it would be better to walk, get some shopping for my mother, and come back on foot. Ideally, it is good to do both, walking and exercise, but if for some reason […]
Wednesday the 31st of January 2024: “A Gringo in Two Worlds”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey, grim and very damp. It was bitterly cold overnight, and at 7 in the morning, the temperature was -1 °C. I got up, washed, and put on clothes to exercise out on the patio in the back garden again. Today has seemed much colder than yesterday, and my skipping rope seemed shorter than […]
Monday the 29th of January 2024: “Silly Months and Goal Setting”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, chilly, grey and damp. Although it is not raining, it is extremely damp, and you can feel it in your bones. I wanted to get up early to go out and do some exercise, but it didn’t happen. Yesterday, I drank too many glasses of wine, and as a result, I didn’t sleep well. I […]
Sunday the 28th of January 2024: “An Observational Sunday”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold and overcast. A crazy day of housework and getting half drunk! As I have said many times before, I have been having difficulty getting up early in England, as I usually do in Brazil. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time difference; my body clock is still set to the Brazilian time […]
