From Heathrow Airport

Image result for Costa at Heathrow airport pictures








It is Tuesday morning sunny bright beautiful 16 C in London England --
34 C in Toronto. It is 10 am, I am done with my breakfast, walking around 
in the back garden of my daughter in Reading.

 My luggage is all packed, I am sort of ready to go to my home to Toronto.
I have to say good bye to England, the land of three of my Daughters. 
I spent about eight weeks here, shunting between Croydon, Grimsby and Reading.

 I came to England on 1st of July leaving today on 28th of August. It all looked now a dream to me and Dreams always come to an end. I have to come to reality. Done is done. I have to leave at 11 am from my Daughter's place for Heathrow airport. That is reality. 

 My Air Canada flight is waiting for me at Terminal # 2. At 3 pm it will fly and take me to my home,Toronto. My Son will be waiting for me at Pearson airport. I will be in Toronto at 6.40 pm, that is 11.40 pm England time. 

 I am in the car now leaving my Daughter's place going towards Heathrow.
My Grandson is driving. He is in 3rd year in Leeds Uni. I am sitting on front seat next to him. My Daughter is talking to me from back seat.

 We had great time at Heathrow Airport, had Soy Latte with sandwiches, rice cake and almond croissant at Costa cafe. Afterwards I was going to the Departures, my Daughter was standing with her son to see me off. 

 End of the Fairy Tale Trip to England. But this is life. It goes on changing.
That's the beauty. I will freeze these amazing moments till my next trip to 
England. 

 I am in the plane now writing My Blog enjoying my flight
watching " Peter Rabbit " I enjoy cartoon movies.

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. The customers are appreciating the at Smile wrote even on the day of the trip however they are saying that miss the Recipe blog. They are asking if you can post one tomorrow. The priest was here and told them that we should not put too much demand on Smile as she must be jet lagged

      SWN was fun too. We also talked about the blog. Participants were missing the recipe blog but they all understand that its not fair for Smile to be sending that this week

      As there is no recipe blog, I have cancelled our reading of the blog. I know everyone of you loves the reading of the recipe blog but Smile just came back, so its understandable

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees went for our long walk today. After that we had our lollipop. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. The retirees instead went straight to the reading of your blog.

    The retirees appreciated that you wrote for your readers on the day of your international travel. We don't travel, either internationally or nationally, so don't have much experience. One retiree does do a lot of travelling. He travels one a year on a very long flight. His flight is 2 hours. He mentioned that he dose not engage in any activity other than waiting for the plane during the week This is because it is too stressful.

    The hospital administrator, the physicians, the hospital staff, the café manager, the chef and many ex patients came to the reading of the blog as it is Thursday and they were thinking that you will write your Recipe blog. We jokingly refer to it as Recipe Thursday. They were somewhat disappointed as there were no recipes however they said that they understand that you will not be writing the recipe for another month or so. The hijab lady and the temple people were here though. The lady made use of the large crowd to talk about the recent festival that they had. She said that they sacrifice animals and distribute the food to needy, family and friends. She wanted to give a long talk but there was a controversy as the vegetarian retiree got offended. The lady reminded them that you also write non vegetarian recipes however they said that it is different as you have a global readership and you don't preach a certain way of living. As it was getting too argumentative, many retirees started leaving

    thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the Smile Garden today. The plan was to read the blog at the SRC however the Dean asked us to change the venue. Its a good thing that he did as the Smile Army was very emotional today. They were chanting slogans. Prof George was heard saying to the Dean that its a good think you anticipated that Smile Army will be a little loud today. He said that Smile is back and was writing on the day of her travel, so he did want the student to cut down on the celebratons. Prof George smiled. The Dean asked him jokingly that since there is no recipe, what will he have for dinner. Prof George looks forward to these recipes as much as the all of us do

    thank you

  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
