Like so many other people, he is also enjoying his weekend. Everyone at my place, are sleeping too. Just me and my son are up.  I am having my breakfast, sitting in my eat in kitchen, beside patio doors. It must be raining early morning. My deck is all wet, washed and clean. Grass is lush green. My garden is looking great.  My friend, Black Squirrel is busy with his work outs on the wooden fence of my garden. He is also an early riser. I am enjoying all that and the view of my back garden.  It is 10.15, I am in my room with my computer switched on, browsing my Facebook messages. Messages are great to keep us connected with our family and friends, with our loved ones. I am getting ready to go for my walk. I just checked weather. It is not too cold, still have to dress up in layers. It is bet...

  December 26th 2023 Its a mixed sunny cloudy morning. Not too cold. Not below zero temperature. Perfect day to get out. I am just done with my breakfast. Everyone is sleeping. Weekends are time to doze off, to take a break.  My son usually wakes up early. I think he must be on computer and calls. My grandson, the middle one, Master Golden left with couple of his friends to Japan. It was a long journey from Toronto. First go to Dallas, from there fourteen hours to Tokyo.  His flight to Dallas was late, so he missed the flight to Tokyo. It was all messed up. He was to reach Tokyo early morning. He reached late, 9.30 at night. Flight was taking long rout via Alaska, due to wind storm. It was 5.30 in the morning at our place, in Toronto. My son must be hooked up with his computer, tracking my grandson's flight. He  is just awake. Weather is great. I am getting ready to go for my walk. It is 2 C, not below zero, still I have to be dressed up in layers. It is 11.30, I am ...

  December 19th 2023 Beautiful bright sunny morning. It is 6 C below zero, feels like 14 below. Not a day to walk. I think, I have to skip. I will find other plans to fill in my day schedule. It is good to get busy, helps to keep us away from negative thoughts. It is a bit chilly. Morning frost, like a white silvery powder is dusted all around, looking beautiful. Sun is shining up and above, in full bloom. It is beauty of Canada that sun is there to make our days brighter, even in cold below zero temperatures.  New year is just couple of days away. It is Tuesday, garbage pick up day in our neighborhood. All, blue, grey and green bins, are lined up on driveways, ready to be picked up.  I salute my friends, our front line workers, for making our lives easy and so streamlined. They did marvelous job, especially in our COVID days. It is 9.15, I am done with my breakfast, sitting in my room with my friend, my computer. It helps me to connect with my loved ones, always ready to...

  16th Dec 2023 Beautiful sunny bright day. Great weather. It is 10.15 in the morning, 4 C, no rain, no snow. It is like a summer here, in Canada. This is Saturday, another weekend. Life is passing. Days are switching from one to another. Moments are slipping.  We have to be aware of all that before it is too late. I mean, do what you can, to enjoy, to make your day. We never know, God forbid, our health may not be the same to handle the things we like to do. Get busy with whatever you like to do. Great day. Sun is shining, up and above in full bloom. I am done with my breakfast, sitting in my room with my computer switched on. Blinds of my windows, are drawn up. I am enjoying the scenic view outside. Trees around look like skeletons, standing quietly, looks it is not windy. Calm and quiet atmosphere. My neighborhood looks very quiet. Cars are staying on driveways, waiting for orders. Just now, lady from the house across, came out with her dog, going for walk. Nothing else, I ...

  December 12th 2023 Beautiful morning. Due to global warming, it is not so cold. It is nearly mid Dec. and still temperature is in plus, not below zero. New year is just about two weeks away. Another new year. New targets to meet.  We become over ambitious, make big plans for every New year. Long list, to do so many things, hard to fulfill all of our goals. We have to be realistic, while making, "Things to do list". I take it like one day at a time. Just plan for a day. We have twenty four hours, every morning. Plan for that.  Every day is like a chapter in the story book of our life. We go on compiling, every moment. Every moment matters. Plan and enjoy every moment in hand.  Try to take a break, to smell Roses, to behold the scenery around, to relax and to get inner peace. Spread happiness. Try not to interfere with other peoples personal matters. Respect everyone's privacy. I think, this is the recipe to live life happily, to compile a good story book of our life...

    December 9th 2023 It is weekend, cloudy day. It was raining early in the morning, it just stopped. Everything looking great, beautiful, after having morning shower. Everyone in the house, is sleeping. Me and my son are awake. He is busy with his computer. I am in kitchen, making oatmeal porridge for my breakfast. It is 9.30, I am done with breakfast, enjoying my morning tea.  Now sitting in my room, beside my computer, browsing Facebook messages. I will check my table calendar, later for things to be done today.  I just checked, have to do my hair wash. It is easy to mark on calendar. You don't have to remember, what to do. I don't wash hair every day. Not much left. I am surprised how come, so many are still there, on my head. I will go for shower before kids are awake and washroom will be on hold for hours.  I will go, get it done. First, I will do my hair wash, after that will focus on other things to do.  I have to make couple of calls.  My lat...

  December 5th 2023 It is a mixed cloudy sunny morning. Sun is, still not fully awake. Weather is great. Not cold. No rain, no snow. It is 1 C, not below zero. Like a sort of summer for us in Canada. Beautiful day to go for walk. I will skip, not taking any chances. I have to be careful for couple of more weeks. This is the fourth week after my car accident. Chest pain is not as much as was before, still it is there. Not completely gone. I have to take Tylenol for that, once a while, not every day.  We have to be careful. Have to listen to our body. Don't have to overdo. Have to be cautious. Try to keep track of your health and safety issues. We have to take it as our top priority, at any age.  We don't want to be a liability to our loved ones. To stay in bed for weeks or months, God forbid, is not good. Think before getting carried away to start any ambitious plan.  We have to plan our day anyway, to get busy, to change our scenery. It is not a problem, while even s...

  December 1st 2023 It is raining since morning. I have to go to work. It is 8.15, I am getting ready to go to play Darts. It is 9.5o, I am at library. We are getting numbers to make teams.

It is 10.45, we are done with one game, having our break time. Variety of cookies, tea and coffee, all set on the kitchen area counter, at the left side of the room. We are enjoying our time. It looks like a festive atmosphere.  It is 12 .30, I am home, busy in my kitchen, making banana shakes for my son and for myself. Making burgers for my youngest grandson. He is just back from Uni. I have to make couple of calls after. My sister in law is in hospital. She has heart and kidney problems, lately she has difficulty in swallowing food. Kidney problem resulting lack of saliva. I have no clue of all that. She has to take measure...

  November 28th 2023 Bright beautiful cold morning.  It is 4 C below zero, feels like 15 C below.  It is the beauty of Canada that in winter time too, sun comes out to make our days brighter. Sitting inside, it looks like summer.  We check weather before getting out, to dress up accordingly. To decide how many layers will be enough to tackle the cold. Weather plays an integral part in our life. We start sorting our coat closet, to choose the proper one for the day.  We have number of jackets, and coats from light to heavy one. For light rain, for flurries and for the real snowy days with 25 C below temperatures. We learned how to deal with Canadian cold. We just check weather, dress up properly, get out and enjoy. We humans are amazing, we manage. Adapt whatever is there to make adjustments, to make our life, to enjoy. We have power to make decisions accordingly.  I am getting better day by day. Tomorrow will be three weeks after my accident. Time is great,...

  November 25th 2023 Beautiful weather, sunny bright morning. Not so cold. This is not Canadian winter at all. I think, this is all due to global warming. So much changed, so is climate. I still remember, we got our first fan in 1993. There was no AC. We never needed that. So much snow and cold, that was Canada, years ago. Now AC is a must in summer time. It is 2C now, and it is the end of November. We will get snow after a while, not will be much, I think. Today is 25th, third week of my accident. Things are getting better day by day for me. Day before, I was in Tim Hortons, First time after weeks. Walks are still forbidden for me. I have to wait for that. I am taking my chances to get into car, for rides. My son, while dropping his son to Uni, I use to jump in, to change my scenery, to get out. We have to make use of, whatever is available. Don't have to wait. Every moment matters, to make our day. I am enjoying the Gold around in my garden. Squirrels go on gathering their things...

   November 21st 2023 Cloudy morning, rain is on the way. Last couple of weeks to go, to enter the New Year 2024. New year, new plans. Moments pass, things change. Life goes on. Change is beauty of life, so is the change of seasons. Fall time, is full of colors, full of gold. My back garden is loaded with Gold leaves. It is so refreshing, so powerful, to behold. Trees are now changing colors. We can see, all shades of red, orange, coffee and gold. Such a beauty to cherish.  It is great time to go for a walk. Not too cold, not too hot. Just get out, to enjoy, to make your day. We don't have to wait. Time flies. Things change. You never know that what will be the next. God forbid, our health not be the same with time. We have to avail whatever is there, to change our scenery. It helps to motivate our will power, helps to keep our mood swings, in balance.  I am taking a break after my car accident. We have to do things, taking into account of our health and safety, as o...

  Cloudy morning, not so cold. It is 3 C, perfect for walk. No rain, no snow. Weather is great for we Canadians. Sun is not awake, still hiding under his hazy blanket. No walks for me for now. I am taking a break after my accident. We have to make plans, taking health and safety, as our top priority. Things change. Nothing is end of the world. We can enjoy our time, staying home too. Doctor told me that, it will take a while, to be back on track. I have to be patient. Have to wait. Don't have to overdo, to deteriorate the situation.  Sometimes, we have to slow down, to smell the roses, to behold the nature around. For now, I am enjoying the view of the world outside. Blinds of my windows are drawn up. My computer is switched on, to take me to my favorite spots, to let me enjoy my time. I am browsing my Facebook messages for now, to connect with my loved ones.  Staying home is a different scenario. We have to plan our day quite differently. Kitchen is my favorite spot. I a...

Beautiful weather, great. Sunny bright morning. It is 9.30, 7 C, like a summer for we Canadians. I am still recovering from my bruises and tissues injury, due to my car accident, happened couple of days ago. I have to skip my walks and work. No playing Darts, no walks to Tim Hortons, to enjoy my small coffee and donuts. I am taking a break.  I am home enjoying, view of my garden.  Back garden is loaded with gold leaves. My friend, Black squirrel is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden. He keeps track of his body. Couple of flowers are there, brave enough, facing our November weather. It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast, sitting now in my room. My friend, my computer is switched on. It takes me to places of my choice, to let me talk to my loved ones. Blinds of my windows are drawn up, I am all connected with the world outside.  My neighborhood is a bit quiet. No activity, just couple of cars standing on driveways, waiting for orders to move on. I a...

  Beautiful day, sunny morning, still things are not the same for me. I have to miss my walks and my office. It is Friday, the day to go to work to play Darts. I never use to miss that, not today. I am home. Had an accident on 8th of Nov, while coming back from library after Darts. My youngest grandson was driving me home. He use to do that often. We were at Whites Road, just about five minutes away from home and a white van coming from the gas station, banged.  Van flipped, our black Lexus got trashed. Air bags popped up. Police cars, ambulance, people were all around. My grandson somehow, was able to open his door. People came to him, he told them," I am fine, help my grandma. Go that side". I am so proud of him. Love him so much. I was able to get out somehow. Paramedics were insisting to take me to hospital. I don't like sitting in ambulance. My grandson told them that he will take me to hospital, afterwards. It took couple of hours with police investigations. I was f...

    November 7th 2023 It is 2 C windy, gust around 57 km. Cold, cloudy morning. It is 8.30, my eldest grandson is going for coffee to Second Cup, asking me for anything I want. So nice of him. I skip, I will have oatmeal porridge for breakfast.  I put small piece of cinnamon stick and pinch of salt. Let it boil in water for couple of minutes and take it with milk and sugar. It tastes amazing. Very refreshing. I start my day with honey drink. Put around one small tsp of honey in warm water. It is great, before to start your breakfast. It is Tuesday, I am off, no office today. My son and my daughter in law, still enjoying their vacation, will be back on Sunday. Today is garbage pick up day in our area. I have to check the garbage. Kids are here to help me out, still being the eldest, I have to oversee to manage things. Today my eldest grandson is leaving to Montreal for his business trip. I will go for my walk after he leaves for airport. His flight is at 2 pm. He will leav...

    November 4th 2023 One more month to go, to start a brand new year 2024. Today is Nov 4th, my mind took me to years back, to the day of my life. Today is my wedding anniversary. My husband is no more here, he passed away years ago so nothing to celebrate. It is just any another day of my life.  Things change, life goes on. I believe, change is the beauty of life.  It is cloudy cold morning. I am having my breakfast, sitting in my eat in kitchen. I am enjoying the view of my back garden, through patio doors. It is looking great. Gold leaves are scattered all around. Such a beauty to behold. It is a quiet atmosphere, not windy. Trees are standing still.   I can't see many flowers in the flower bed, at the back of my garden. Just couple of, are there with no smiley face.  I think, everyone is worried about, "what will be the next". Thinking about snow and sub zero temperatures. Real Canadian winter is just few weeks away. It is 9.15, I am done with my ...

  It is October 31st, two more months to go and the year 2023 will be done, will be history. It is 2 C, cold morning. I just woke up at 9.10, started my day late. My son and my daughter in law, planned to enjoy their vacation. They had to leave at 4.45, early morning for their 8.15 flight. I woke up, to see them off.  It is good to share special moments of other people, specially of your loved ones. They feel good, it will enhance their happiness. We will feel good too. What goes around, comes back. I was not able to sleep after 4.30. I switched on my TV, started watching Sports Channel. I don't watch News. So much is going on, around the world. We are not part of, to make things better for anyone. I feel bad, it is better to skip watching News. It is 5.30, my daughters started calling me from Kent, Reading and Grimsby. They were making a group call. My son also joined from the airport. He had time for his flight to take off. We were just having chit chat, to enjoy time. After...

  October 27th 2023 Great weather sunny and bright. Beautiful morning. It is 8.30, 15 C.  It is Friday. I am working today. Have to go to library to play Darts from 10 to 12 Noon. I take library as my work place. We have to do such things to feel good. Looks like I am not retired. Still working.  Try to stay positive. It is the best thing to handle your day to day matters. It boosts our will power. Helps to manage our mood swing. I am getting ready to go. We have to plan things to make our day. It is 1.15, I am in my kitchen making banana shake for my son and for my youngest grandson, he is just back from his Uni. My daughter in law, also wants. I will make for her and for myself too.  We never have to forget our own self, to give treats. It helps our body to keep going, to coordinate with our day plans. Mind and Body, are like two in one. Body feels good, Mind will never go to the wrong track. The track of negativity.  It is 2.30, I am in my room busy with my c...

  Beautiful day. Great morning. It is 10.30, 11 C, not so windy, gusts around 35 km. Perfect for getting out, to go for a walk. I am debating between going to Tim Hortons or going to Metro side.  My grandson, the middle one, Master Golden, is just awake, I will go to Metro to get Pizza buns for him. I checked the chocolate bag, in my room. Just couples of chocolates are there. There has to be a fresh lot, to fill it up.  Things are now decided. Nothing to debate. I am getting ready to go to Metro and Dollarama store, to get bakery stuff and chocolates. I think, God helped me out, giving signals to sort out my plans. Giving me homework, to be done.  I don't have to worry about, where to go. It is decided. Nothing to do, is the worst option. We have our set schedules, while we are at work or at our school time. At our age, after retirement, we have to think to get busy with things, to fill out our day slots. Things to do for our family, is one of the great option. It b...

  October 21st 2023 Beautiful day, a bit cold and windy. Mixed sunny and cloudy morning. No rain, no snow, enough to get out, to make your day. We have to use, whatever is available. Don't have to wait.  We never know, what will be the next. Days are passing, moments go on slipping. Same are days of our life and our age. Our health may not be the same. Enjoy with what you have.  It is 11.30, I am getting ready for my walk. Today, planning to go to Metro, to get some bakery stuff for my grand kids. They like Pizza buns and Croissant from there.

    October 17th 2023 Weather looking great, nice. Temperature not below zero. It is 6 C. I am not working today. My Tuesdays are off. I have other plans to fill my day slots. We always have to keep our plan B ready to switch, to make our day. It is 8. 45, I am sitting in my eat in kitchen,  having my breakfast also enjoying the view of my back garden. October is about to end. Grass is still green.  Flowers are there too but I can't see any smile on their faces. Atmosphere looks a bit quiet. It is like wait and see situation. I think, everyone is now looking at, the days ahead. Canadian winter is so close. It will be anytime soon. It is 9.30, I am in my room, my computer is switched on, ready to take me to the places of my choice. Ready to connect me to my loved ones, my friends and family. I love my computer, my great friend.  I am going through Facebook messages. My daughters are at work. They call me after 12.30, my time in Toronto. They are five hours ahead ...

  October 14th 2023 Cold morning, a bit cloudy. Winter is just around the corner, will be here anytime soon. It is 11 C, feels like 8 C. Weather Channel in Canada, displays two figures. One the current temperature, the other one, what it feels like.  It is 10.45, I am getting ready to get out, for a walk. It is not, what we like. We have to push ourselves, specially when, we have no company. Have to walk alone. It needs lots of efforts, to get going, to count your steps.  We have to keep in mind, doing nothing is no option. We start getting lethargic. Negative thoughts start polluting our mind. We start feeling bitter. Taking things into negative.  Our life starts getting affected. Mind and body are related, like two in one. One is off, the other one gets impacted. We start feeling low, energy and will power, all going to dip down. It might lead, to deteriorate our physical health. Mental condition too, will not be in good shape.  Try to get busy, change your sc...

  October 10th 2023 It is 8.30, cold morning 6 C. It is nearly mid October, how long we be away from Canadian winter. I think, it is already late. Just have to face whatever is there.  I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, having my breakfast, oatmeal porridge and my morning tea. Not having stir fried egg today. I skip eggs, some days. We have to watch at our age. Have to be careful with what to eat. Deck is all wet. Must be raining early morning. Grass is green. Flowers are not in good mood, not smiling. They look a bit shaky, must be thinking about the time ahead. Real Canadian winter is not far. Trees around also look a bit nervous, not in a mood. It is 9.30, I am in my room, beside my computer, checking the day time temperature. It will be in single digit for couple of hours. I have to decide for my walk.  I have to make couple of calls. It is too early for that. We have to keep in mind that the person, we are calling, must be in good shape, to talk. Not too early, not t...

  October 7th 2023 Weather is like a roller coaster. Just couple of days ago, it was hot, feel like 25 C. I was debating for what to wear to go for my walk. Today, it is 13 C. I am searching my coat closet, trying to find my jacket for my walk. I am done with my breakfast. My son is planning to go for a drive to watch fall colors. It is 10. 15, I am getting ready to go with him. We have to avail opportunities, to get out, to make our day. My daughter in law is on a trip, enjoying her time. Kids are sleeping. They must be awake till late night, enjoying their weekend.  It is 10.30, I am at Colonel Danforth park. It is great here, scenic. Colors are all mixed up with green vegetations. All sort of plants, high trees, shrubs, wild flowers are also adding up beauty. Atmosphere is loaded with variety of aroma around. Air is all scented with natural fragrance.   By the side of walkway, is small body of water, flowing all along. Trees are mixed, of variety of ages. Some ver...

  October 3rd 2023 Hot sunny day. It is 8.15, early morning, 17 C, will be 25 later on. I woke up early, already done with my breakfast, with my oatmeal porridge. I am skipping stir fried egg for today.  My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy is awake. I am busy in kitchen, making peanut butter sandwich and hot chocolate milk for his breakfast. He has to leave for his Uni.  It is 8. 30, I am getting ready for my walk. Weather is great for now. We have to avail whatever chances, we find to make our day. Don't have to wait.

It is busy, too much traffic. It is morning time, people are leaving for work and school. So many youngsters are walking too. I think, they are going to the nearby Dunbarton High School. Grass by the side of walkway, is lush green. Morning dew is sparkl...

   September 29th 2023 Beautiful sunny morning, weather is great. Couple of more days before Canadian winter makes it's entry. It is time to get out, to enjoy. We have to push ourselves to do things to make our day. Life is the same for everyone. It is sort of a mixed plate, like a Combo. Mixed with sweet and bitter moments. It is not a bed of roses. Life is like a trail, an unpaved path.  We have to find our way, walking through the bushes around.  We have to pick flowers of happiness from where ever, we can.  Try to make other people's day, put smile on the faces around. You will get happiness in return. What goes around, comes back. Keep that in mind.  No one will come  to make our day. It happens in stories. Not in real world. We are the music makers. We have to make our day. Yesterday was very busy day for me. Our club arranged Buffet for we members, in Mandarin restaurant. I try to get out for every thing available, to enjoy my time. We have to a...

  September 26th 2023 It's a bit colder today, 11 C, will be warmer later on. It is 8.15, my youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy is getting ready for his Uni. I have to make peanut butter sandwiches and hot chocolate milk for him. He will be leaving soon. I will have my breakfast after. I am off on Tuesdays. Don't have to go to work, to play Darts. I have other plans to make my day. We have to find things to get busy, to fill slots of our day schedule. Leave no space, to let enter negative thoughts. There is some leakage problem in one of the bathrooms, in our house. Worker is scheduled to come today. No one will be home. All gone to work and school. My son also has to go to attend some in person meetings. I will be home, will mange the working. My son will be relaxed.  We have to pitch in. Have to contribute in some way, to the household, we live in. It helps to streamline peace and harmony in the house. At our age, we feel elevated too. It gives us confidence and controls our...

  September 23rd 2023 Beautiful sunny, cold morning. It is 8.30, I am busy in my kitchen, making oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg for my breakfast. Great scenic view of my back garden. I can see from patio doors of my eat in kitchen. Couple of Pink Canadian roses are smiling. Flower bed is loaded with white, pink and yellow seasonal flowers. Brick red and white planters are full of white and purple flowers. Couple of flower pots are lined up, by the side of my deck. Grass is lush green. This is end of September. Few weeks to go and there will be a complete change in scenery. Canadian winter is just around the corner, about to give it's entry any time soon. Few more days to get out,  to go for walks, to enjoy outdoors. It is 9.30, I am at lake. It is Rotary Frenchman's Bay park area. Weather is great. Sun is all awake, shining in full bloom. Water on my left is deep blue in color. On my right side, water is sparkling like gold and silver. Amazing. My son is saying, couple of...

September 19th 2023 It is 8.15 in the morning. Bright sunny day, looks breezy. Trees around are shaking their heads. I am in my kitchen making scrambled eggs for my eldest grandson. He is about to leave soon for his work.  I will make peanut butter sandwich and hot chocolate milk for my youngest grandson too, for my Slurpee Boy. He is getting ready for his Uni. Time flies, I still remember, he was just a kid, in school, loved to get Slurpee, cookies and all such things. Not anymore. Now he is watching his diet, avoids cookies and fries. Still loves Slurpee, takes once a while.  We have to value our kids. Have to spend time with them. They grow fast, wont be needing us after, anymore. They will be busy with their own things, own activities. No time for parents and we grandparents will not even be in their dictionary. Try to spread happiness, do things to make their day. It will come back to you. You will make your day in turn. What goes around, comes back. I do these thing, I m...

  September 16th 2023 Beautiful sunny cool morning. It is 8.30, I am done with my breakfast. Enjoying morning tea, sitting on one of red knitted garden chairs, on my deck. It is such a beautiful scenic view to behold. Grass is lush green. Single pink Canadian rose is giving me smile. Flower bed at the back and on side, is loaded with seasonal dark pink flowers. Two brick red planters full of purple and white flowers, are lined up, at the side of deck.  Two white planters on top, by the side of garden fence, are full of  purple flowers. Air is all scented, loaded with aroma of the flowers and plants around. I am enjoying every bit of it. September is about to be done. Winter is just around the corner. It is 11 C, after couple of days, we have to dig out our coat closet. Have to sort out, what to wear, to tackle our Canadian cold. Couple of more months to go, this year will also be gone, will be history.  This is life. Time flies. Moments keep on slipping from our hand...

    September 12th 2023 It was raining since morning, it just stopped.  Beautiful day now, bright and sunny. Everything looking great after having morning shower. Plants around, look happy. Grass lush green. Flowers are smiling, enjoying the weather.  I am planning to go for my walk. Have to go to my doctor for my six monthly Vitamin D injection. Doctor office is 15 minutes of my walk. I take time. I have my appointment at 1.45. My grandson the middle one, Master Golden is ready to drive me there. Rain is now stopped, I will be fine, I will walk. Weather is great. I don't want to miss to enjoy. I will make my day. I was in kitchen, making banana strawberry shake for my son and for myself. Now in my room with my computer. Blinds of my windows, are drawn up. I am all connected with the world outside.  It is Tuesday, our garbage pickup day. Blue, and green bins are all lined up on driveways. Pick up truck will be here anytime soon. Looks quiet around, in my neighbo...

  September 9th 2023 It is just couple of days, back from my trip to England and it looks that I never been away. My suitcase is all empty, in the basement. Things in cupboard. Everything back on track. I started going back to my work, to play Darts. All set, back to normal routine. For couple of days, it was hot, here in Toronto, 39 C. Today slightly cool, will be 23 C in the afternoon. It is morning, 7.15, 15 C, overcast, hazy sky. It is weekend, everyone sleeping. I am awake, in my room, busy with my computer.  Yesterday was a busy day for me. In the morning, I went to library, to play Darts. I was back after 12.15, made banana smoothie for my son and for my youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy. He likes that. I made for my own self too. Never forget to make yourself happy. It will help your mood swings. Boost your will power. You will feel great. I was was busy in kitchen, for sometimes. I made stir fried veggie dish and fried rice, to put on the dinner table for my family....

  September 4th 2023 Dear Readers, I got your comments after months. It is 7.30 morning hot day, Weather Channel showing, feel like 40 C, in the afternoon. I think this is the last week of summer here in Toronto. I am sitting in my back garden, came last night from London. Now back to normal routine.  Trip to England is done. It was great, to be with your kids and grand kids, is always great. Days were hectic, still, I enjoyed every bit of it. Flight was good, it was tiring, around seven hours. My dear no pain no gain. Nothing is one sided. Today is my first day in Toronto. Home is home. I feel relaxed. Travel time is like, you are in transit. You don't take everything out. Most of the things, you have to search in your suitcase. Now I will set things, where it belong.  I will take everything out from suitcase, from cupboards, also from my other suitcase, where I dumped things, not to take with me. Everything on my bed, to be sorted out to put at right place. It will take...

  September 1st 2023 It is early morning 6.30, I am awake, in my room, thinking about, it is time to go. My trip to England, to the land of my daughters, is nearly done. Just one more day. Sunday is my flight to Canada.  I am at my youngest daughter's place in Reading. It looks quiet in the house. I think everyone is sleeping or may be awake, still in bed. I am enjoying view from my window. Sky is overcast, road in front is all wet. I think, must be raining early in the morning. Lone pigeon is sitting on top of garage roof, is here to give me company.  Pink and peach color roses on the side of hedges, are smiling. I think, enjoying the morning view. Back garden must also be looking great. All colors of flowers around, lush green grass in the middle. It must be a scenic view to behold. I have to go downstairs to enjoy all that. Mornings are great with it's own beauty. My daughter has plans to enjoy time with me. Today she will take me to her college. She is done with her o...
