I am in London

 July 18th 2023

I don't know from where to start. So much done in the last couple of days. I started my journey from Toronto to London, on 15th night. My departure was at 10 pm. It was seven hour flight. I was at Heathrow airport, at 10 in the morning of 16th. London is five hours ahead of time in Toronto.

Weather is great here in London. It looks beautiful, all green. I like the drive, here. My daughter was at the airport, with her husband. I was happy to see them, forgot about all of my tiredness. Kids are lifelines for we parents.

Two days were all mixed with jet lag and tiredness, still I was able to be on roads of London, with my daughter. Day one was, short trips to "Tesco" to get groceries and to train station. My daughter was going to drop her son, I went with her to station. 

Day two was, trip to Windsor Castle. It was great, scenic. Huge park around. Beautiful lake in front. Couple of cruise and number of Swans, were sailing on the surface of water. Weather was a bit on the hot side, so people were lined up, by the ice cream shop. I also got, single scoop of pistachio one. My daughter got pictures with her phone, to cherish the beautiful memories. 

Tomorrow, my daughter planned to take me to Oxford, to her daughter's place. I am enjoying my time. Jet lag is nearly gone. Not so tired. Hope to enjoy, rest of my trip too. Lucky me to see my daughters and my grandkids. My right leg is giving me problems. Who cares. I will be fine.

  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
