Going to UFT, with Slurpee Boy

-

 


March 19th 2024

It is a cold wintery day. Two more days to go, for me to get my flight to England. It is Tuesday, my Blog writing day. I try not to miss, to write my blogs. Mostly I write, sitting in Tim Hortons, at my favorite spot. I was all set, about to leave. It was 5 C below zero, so I got my heavy winter coat, my woolen cap, Stole, glove, everything with me. Light snow started showering from up. 

I have to change my plans. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy was about to leave to Uni for his Quiz exams. My son was driving him there. I changed my heavy coat to a lighter one, and decided to go with them. 

Nothing is end of the world. We have to adjust according to the circumstances and have to keep our plan B ready to switch. Sometimes, our planning doesn't work. 

My suitcase is at the right side, beside the window, in my room. I am dumping things, will decide to short list, what to carry with me. We have to check the weight, not have to go with the wish list.

Weather will be different in Kent, Grimsby and Reading. I have to keep track of that while visiting my daughters. They live in different Counties, miles apart. I am going for three weeks, not enough time. I will be shunting most of the time. Anyway, something is better than nothing. I am happy.

I am sitting in my room, my window blinds are drawn up. I am enjoying the view of outside. Light snow, flurries are showering from the hazy sky, trying to decorate skeleton trees around. It looks amazing. 

My front garden is looking beautiful. Grass is all green with some brown patches here and there. Now it is covered under white sheet. Red wooden bench is also coated with very white sheet of snow. Nature is great. Every season is unique with it's own beauty.

Dear Readers, my flight is on Friday, March 22nd. I will be back in mid April. I will try to write my Blogs, whenever I can. Please don't be mad at me. Please keep me in your Prayers. Thanks.

  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
