Enjoying Coffee and Banana Muffin

6th December 2022

It is 3 C, cloudy  morning. Nowadays sun usually doesn't come out. I think he is on break. Enjoying his vacation. My deck is giving a very different look. Must be raining early morning. It is all wet. No garden chairs there. I think my son already moved it away to garage, till the next summer season. BBQ is under cover at the left side of my deck. No flowers. Grass is still lush green, thanks to the rain. It is so often nowadays. Some plants are still green. I see that, in between Skeleton trees. Weather is changing fast. 

I talked to my daughter, in Edmonton, last night. She was clearing off sidewalk, with her son, while temperature was 30 C below zero. Edmonton is very cold. Snow doesn't go away for more than six months, over there. People have to use special shoes to go out, to get mail and to do such things. I feel lucky to be here in Toronto. It is one week of December nearly done and no sign of snow. 

I am off, not working. No Darts today. Getting ready for my walk to Tim Hortons. I am all dressed up in layers. My maroon sweater is underneath my warm long coat. I have my woolen stole and gloves on. All set to handle the  weather. Nothing to worry about. We have to watch the weather before getting out. Have to be careful to do things. Do whatever we want to do, keeping track of our health and safety.

It is 12.15, I am at Coffee House, sitting at my favorite spot. People are of my age, are around. Most of the seats are vacant. Not many people here. Take out looks busy. Now kids from the nearby high school, start coming here. It must be their break time. They are enjoying food and snacks, with company of choice. It is a festive atmosphere here. I am enjoying too, my small coffee, Banana Pecan muffin and my time alone slot. Life is good.

  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
