Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey, damp and with the threat of rain. My feelings are a little mixed at the moment. I’m sensing that my time in England is coming to an end. My mother is giving me all the wrong signs that I am beginning to overstay my welcome. I have been trying to please her by […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, damp and slightly overcast. I was supposed to go to Merry Hill shopping centre today, but as I hate shopping centres and it is carnival in Brazil, I want to do very little! Instead, some shopping in the local village precinct, a coffee, and some work on the computer – nothing too much. My […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, cold, grey, damp and a lot of rain. In Brazil, it is the eve of Carnival. What I’ve heard from my pupils is that it is very hot and stuffy in Rio. Here in the middle of England, it is reasonably cold, wet, and damp but bearable. There was supposed to be snow, but it […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, grey, dull, damp and a lot of rain. A day of rain, rain and more rain. Snow was expected, but it didn’t come. I was going to go out, but because of the rain, I decided to stay in. I’m feeling a bit on edge at the moment. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey and very damp. As I wrote yesterday, this week is dedicated to planning, setting goals, and outlining priorities and routines for the year, or at least for the next six months, until the end of the year. It is 6° during the day, but it was 1° when I got up at 7:00 […]
