To Finchley Station

-












London
England



I started my Journey at 10 am
from Thornton Heath Road
Top up my Oyster Card from the
nearby Off Licence shop
It is a different type of Travel Card
Like pay as you go card

I put 10 pounds as I will take train so
will cost more
went to Sainsbury which is just
opposite to get Flowers and Cake
for my Grade 7th school time friend
I will see her at lunch at her place

I could not get anything like that
from Sainsbury
so taken Bus # 109 to Tesco 
which is two stops away
I got pink roses and Carrot Cake
have to pay 5 pence extra for plastic bags

Now I am all set to continue my journey
have to take #109 again to
Norbury Train Station where I will
take train to Victoria Train station 
from there Bus # 82 take me to
Finchley Station 40 minutes
to my friend place

I love Bus # 82 Route
it goes through all the sightseeing
Places Hyde Park --  Marble Arch
Selfridges The very prestigious 5 star
shopping store same as Harrods
Lords Cricket Ground 
I am sitting on the front seat at the
Upper Deck and enjoying the Tour

I don't know what will happen to my pink Roses 
which I purchased at 10 am
at the start of my Journey
but I will make sure to keep my
Love and Smile fresh for my friend
I was at her place at 12.30
it took 2 and a Half hour for the whole trip

I forgot all my tiredness as I saw My friend
happy to see me with her Smile
We were at school from 1954 to 1958
Did our High School together

    Hi Smile,

    You are on your holidays and yet looking out for my comment. It shows how kind you are to all your readers, including the ones which are new. We dont deserve this kindness.

    I did comment though. It was just before Boris did :-)

  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
