Boredom

Isn't it terrible when you get bored, you've done everything that you had to do and now you just sit down and have a cup of tea or coffee, your mind sort of shuts down, all you have left to do is wait for dinner or supper, what am I going to do next you think to yourself. Nothing on the tv as usual, so what now, well for me although I've said in the past blogs that I am against mobile phones for children, what about adults? Boredom is an awful feeling especially as you get older so you end up using your mobile to relieve the boredom by playing games, not the same games that children play but games that keep your mind active which can be important to some elderly people, you search the web for games that you remember from your childhood days like word games, card games like gin rummy or cribbage and the good thing is that you can interact with people by playing online games, talking to them or texting them, there are a lot of people who play these sort of games from all over the world so while relieving your boredom you can learn something from these other gamers, what country their from, weather, politics, anything that you want to talk about. Of course these games like the tv have adverts which I also hate but if you don't want to stay bored then you have to watch them. At long last you don't feel bored and your mind starts working again which stops the boredom and somehow you feel happier and more alert which I think is a good thing. The colour's, music, the people that you are talking to all help, it passes the time when you have nothing to do and you don't have to think about the fact that you are bored. Although as I've said I don't really like or understand this new technology but playing these games that I remember from when I was younger kind of helps me and I don't get depressed by having nothing of importance to do, so you see that mobiles are not good for children but they do serve a purpose for the older generation or should I say the over sixty fives, are you in that age group, what do you think and do you do the same thing as I do use the mobile that perhaps was a present from one of your children so that they can always keep in contact, that is if you know how use the mobile but by using it you start to remember better because now it's important for you to stay away from feeling bored and not having anyone to talk to so as you can see there are some advantages to mobiles what do you think?

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
