I had set me a time limit in the morning, when I wanted to leave, go outside and finally see a bit of Montevideo! Now, the rain was over, I had no desire to stay inside any longer. Took the city bus to the central market… always love to see what is over from the […]
A day full of work, again. The first ZOOM call at 6 AM, before breakfast and the bus to Montivideo. At the busterminal, the next call before I took the taxi to the co-living. Good to have a own space, again. In this case, there were two shared kitichens. One on the 11th floor… a […]
The morning started, you should say as usual, with some homework. Not to late, I called for an Uber to bring me to Casapueblo, a house with a very organic architectur. In the Uber, we had a very nice conversation about sustainability. In Spanish! About sustainability, as such, as policy in Uruguay and in Uruguayain […]
Checked out of my room, but was still at the terras of the hotel. Calling people, writing. Trying to synchronise my vibe and my energy. The head prefered a different (the old) path. Just, no. Won’t follow. Still able to stay in the change. The first 4 hours of the bus trip to Montevideo […]
Sometimes, during the trip, I was curious, where we were. Though I checked it on Maps. In the early morning, it was Curitiba. This town was one of the examples during the Doughnut Economics workshop I gave in Viçosa. About 30 years ago, they had major issues with poverty, crime and accumulating waste (and illnesses) […]
If the (I even can’t say ‘our’) marrige had last… it would have been the 40th anniversary. He went out on me, on us (the childeren and me), in our third year of marrige, 7th year of relationship. Proving: statistics are right. Ironically (is this the right word?), my father married his second wife on […]
The mornig started with some to do’s. Finally, I left the apartment for a stroll through the city. The Selarón Stairs are just a stone through away. This time, I climnbed them till the very end. Along the stairs, they offered some good Caipirinhas. Couldn’t get me into it; still not easy with drinking alone. […]
After breakfast, a 12 hour work marathon. That’s not the way it should be, shouldn’t it? Further just normal stuff: cooking, laundry, groceries… Glad, I’m in an apartment now. Helps a lot. Another AHA: because of the groceries, choosing a apartment makes only sense, when you stay more days… some basics, you will always need […]
The digital world left me almost no time for breakfast. Wanted to be on time at the busstation to be able to deal with evenualities. Most of the time, a digital ticket is okay, sometimes they require a printed one. And then you have to find the right counter. And the right platform. Terminals can […]
