At Costa Coffee House

Beautiful morning, hot humid day. The sun is shining in full bloom. Weather in England is unpredictable just like its traffic. 

Two days ago I was wearing a light jacket while I was walking around the High Street. Today is a totally different scenario.

It's 9.15, I am done with my breakfast now sitting in the garden. Flower pots are lined up in front with beautiful roses. 

I see a variety of shades and colors of roses pink, red and yellow. Tall trees are making the atmosphere very cozy.

Two pigeons are walking by the pink roses flower pot. White cat with pitch black spots on her body is sitting on the fence. 

I think she is done with her breakfast and came to give me company. So nice of her. Looks so calm and composed. I think she is enjoying her time.

The air is loaded with fragrances from around. I hear a couple of birds having chit chat, sitting somewhere inside the tall tree. Two kids are playing with a ball in the garden next door. Such an atmosphere full of life. I feel lucky to be a part of all that.

My daughter left early in the morning around 7.30, for school. She will be back at 4 pm. I will go to the library nearby to browse some books and magazines. 

There's a Cafe upstairs on the first floor. I will go there to have a cup of tea. It's a community Cafe. I found this Cafe tea is just one pound and 10 cents. At Costa it is around four pounds.

It's 1.15,I am in the library busy with writing my Blog. I will go to the Cafe around 2 pm. My daughter will pick me up at 3.50, on the way back from school. I divide my time slots accordingly to fill up my day schedule and also to enjoy.

It is 1. 45, time to go to the Cafe. Oh, my granddaughter is here with her beautiful smile in the library to surprise me. She insisted that I join her to have a cup of coffee in the Costa coffee house. I accepted her offer right away.

We always have to value, acknowledge and admire for any time our kids / grand kids make available to be with us. 

I am at Costa enjoying my coffee. She is busy with her computer beside me. These are special moments to cherish  and to lock up in my memory box.

We don't have to wait for another time. I found this beautiful piece of writing in one of the children's books, “ OH how the moments fly watching the world go by “ . So true. I agree with that. 

Moments keep on slipping from our hands for not coming back. Try to value the moments in hand.

It's a Beautiful Day

    It's Tuesday, I have my day off. I don't work on Tuesdays. Monday was a close holiday because of Victoria day.  She helped Canada to make the Charter of Democracy. We remember that and celebrate. Everything was closed and only eateries were open. I enjoyed my time in Tim Hortons. It was a very long weekend for me. I will go to work tomorrow to play Darts. I believe work is like a blessing. It helps us to organize our lifestyle. We don't have to worry about how to spend our time. It helps us to be productive and also keeps us away from negativity. Schools are the same to impart a positive change in our life. We have no issues in the earlier days of our life, how to organize ourselves and to chalk out our day programs. In the later stages, we have to find hobbies to be active. Our health issues start coming up with our age. We have to keep that in mind while choosing our activities. We don’t have to be too ambitious while making our plans. With time our ne...

From Camberley to Kent

          Now I am on a road trip for a while, I  was at my youngest daughter's place in Camberley.  Last night I came to Kent at my other daughter's house. Her son picked me up. He came with his younger brother. Insisted me to have the front seat. Lucky me. Kent is a small historical town. I like its High Street. At one end of the street are the old castle and Church. This Church is the second oldest after Canterbury Church. I like to walk around. The castle is sort of challenging for me to walk uphill. I like the beautiful interior architecture of the Church. Such a peaceful atmosphere to sit for a while. On the High Street there is Morley bakery and Coffee House. It was established in 1985. I like to sit there to enjoy tea over there. I like historical places.  So many Charity shops are all lined up on the High Street, I like Charity shops. So many antiques to look around. I feel that time stopped, taking me back to have a feel of...

Nature is great

     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 ...
