From Rochester to Finchley

-

 


August 8th 2023

Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning. Sun is not fully awake, still dozing off inside his light grey blanket. Yesterday my youngest daughter came from Reading to Rochester, to join me and her sister. It was two hours drive. She was tired, after taking a break, we went to "Creams Cafe " to enjoy time together. 

It is 8.15 morning, looks very quiet, I think, my daughters are still sleeping. They were up till late night. Kids left for work. My daughter will leave today, anytime after lunch, will go back to Reading. I am planning to go to see my childhood Grade five friend. She moved to Netherland to her elder daughter. She has two daughters. Her younger one lives here at Regent Street, in downtown London. 

My friend is here, with her daughter for couple of weeks. I will go to her place, will stay overnight. Great moments to cherish. She is looking forward for that, me too. 

My son -in- law will drop me at "Dulich", on the way to his work. I will take Bus # 3 from there to Victoria Station. From Victoria, Bus # 113 or # 13 to Finchley Road, to my friend's place. I will be back to my daughter, tomorrow afternoon. 

From Rochester to Dulich, will take fifty to fifty minutes. Dulich to Victoria, will be twenty five minutes, from Victoria to Finchley, will be forty to fifty minutes. 

I will start my journey after rush hours. Fares are not cheap here in London. It go on rising every time. Let me see how much, it will be today. Train ticket from Rochester to Victoria, one way, is eighteen Pounds. 

Tomorrow, I will be back from Finchley, back to Rochester. My daughter is planning to come to Victoria Station, to join me there. We will roam around, go to Tames, Trafalgar, Piccadilly. Hope weather will be fine. Mother and daughter, great moments to cherish. Thanks to God for keeping me mobile.

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get invo...

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to ...

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change...
