Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, grey, miserable and rainy. I'm glad to be back at work after a long Easter bank holiday, as it was a bank holiday in Brazil on Friday and another in England on Monday, which completely disrupted my routine for staying healthy, productive, and earning money....

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and grey with bursts of sunshine. It's Tuesday, back to work, and I feel relieved. It is always very nice to have time off, a break, a bank holiday or even holidays, but for me, returning to work is a relief. I feel down when I spend a long

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, chilly, overcast, rain in the morning, but the sky is clear with sun later in the day. It is Easter Monday in England, a bank holiday, but a regular working day in Brazil. Brazil's Easter bank holiday was on Good Friday, and in some cases, it also included....

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, bitterly cold, grey and rainy. It is Easter Sunday, and the weather is very sh*tty. I was up later than usual due to my night at the pub, but more importantly, a full day with Julie yesterday. I only got out of bed at 2:00 p.m., after raiding the Kitchen

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny, warm in the sun but cold in the shade. Saturday was a marathon day, during which I accomplished quite a lot, and for me, the activities of the day were more enjoyable than those at night. It is a beautiful, sunny day — a truly sunny day, with it

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Good Friday, also known as Easter Friday, in Brazil. In Brazil, it is a bank holiday, and everything will be closed. Traditionally, it is the day when people eat fish instead of meat. This is a Roman Catholic custom....

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, bitterly cold, grey and rainy. It is the eve of the Easter bank holiday in Brazil, and depending on each business owner in England, it may or may not be a holiday. Officially, it is an Easter bank holiday on the Monday. I spoke to both Nalva and Yasmin toda...

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, bitterly cold, with unsettled weather. So, after the devastation caused by Hurricane Richard yesterday, the aftermath was marked by an eerie calm, insecurity, and shame. What happened yesterday, what I did, and what mistake I committed that could seriously....

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 12 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. Today is Tuesday, and it feels like nuclear bomb day! Basically, I've been under stress with my mother since I started going out with Julie, and yesterday’s conversation almost led to arguments; the atmosphere in the...

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, bitterly cold, grey and with rain. It is the first day of the last week of the month, and also the first day after a wonderful weekend. My weekend with Julie, probably our first weekend where we saw each other on both Saturday and Sunday, was also nice for....

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly cloudy. After a marathon day yesterday, I woke up briefly at 4:00 in the morning, then fell back asleep, and only woke up at 9:00 a.m. It was a beautiful, sunny day, with the birds complaining aloud and the local church bells ringin...

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, bitterly cold, bursts of sunlight and sometimes showers. What a Saturday! I hadn't seen Julie to go out with last night, but I had seen her in the morning when I went to the café. However, we couldn't go out in the evening, as I had a class at 9:00
