Dock Tower

Grimsby 
England

Diana, Prince of Wales Hospital
is the only hospital in Grimsby area
My daughter's husband going to another
Wing of the Hospital so he was giving
a Party to his Colleagues
my daughter has to drop things for the Party
I had a chance to be at the Hospital

Way back my daughter picked up
her prescription from the
"Scartho Medical Centre"

we went to Tesco Extra for Grocery
I noticed Salmon was
3.50 pounds for 300 Grams 17.50 per KG
not cheap

In old days Grimsby was famous
for Fisheries business
Fishing Heritage Museum is there
to enjoy and to have an idea
admission ticket cost 6 pounds
weather was sunny still breeze
not an ideal day for beach
so my daughter gave
a driving tour of the town

Grimsby Dock,  the Dock Tower which
used to be an icon in old days
when Grimsby was famous for it's
fishing business

We were going through
Freeman street known for drugs
a run down area
but very useful street
you find everything here
haircut saloons computer repair shops
pond shops so many other things
you can find here

on the way home 
we passed by the beautiful parks
roads lined up with flower baskets
roundabouts with all the colorful flowers
pink white and red
everything looking great
I had my Day with my daughter

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
