Routine

Why has there to be a routine? I'll tell you why, to start with thers the farmers, they get up at the crack of dawn every single day, they milk and feed their cows, they deliver the fresh milk to the collecting place so that we can have fresh milk every day, then they go back home and feed the rest of their livestock so that we can have fresh meat, poultry and eggs, then after breakfast onto their tractors so that we can have corn, etc for bread and supermarket produce, that's their routine.
Now what have I forgot, oh yes, the lorry drivers who as well drive every day of the week night and day so that the produce from the farmers gets to the supermarkets on time so that we can buy them but we can't buy them until the people that work in the supermarkets start their routine, getting out of bed, breakfast and then off to work to open the shops so that we can buy what we need,but how do they get to work they've got no fuel for their cars so they go to the petrol station to get some, if it wasn't for the petrol stations who also have their routine the we wouldn't be able to get to work by car,bus or taxi who also have their routine working all hours just to get us to our destination, that's their routine. Then there's the banks who also have their routine by opening the banks so that we can have money to spend or get a loan so that we can have somewhere to live and our children who also have a routine get up and dressed, breakfast and off to school so they can learn so that one day they can get a job, that's their routine. Nobody is an exception even the clergy have their routine mass, weddings, funerals all the things that the clergy do. Then you've got the electricity men, the gas men,the doctors, the ambulance men and women, the police, without them then we wouldn't be able to start all our routines. I can't think of anyone who doesn't have a routine from the young to the old, everybody does something everyday that's their routine, even myself I get up early to light the fire so that my wife and children are warm when they get up and then they go to work, I chop the wood for the next day, wash and dry the dishes, hang the clothes out to dry and then prepare dinner so that they can eat when they come back from work, so you see I've got a routine as well, so you see that if everyone didn't have there routine then nothing would get done, the list for people who have routines is endless just think about your routine and think about others who also have their routines that's why I wrote about it today, that word for me means a lot so don't forget that word and think about it, Routine.

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...

Seventh installment, sorry it's a bit late but its hard to write what I wrote and remember.

The next day it was awfully quiet, the calm before the storm perhaps, nothing much for breakfast so we decided to try and lay the land line. So off we went house to house laying the wire behind us and then the mortars started again so we hit the ground, lying down was the safest if caught outside, there were pieces of shrapnel hitting the wall near to us and it was not a very safe place to be so we decided to make a run for it, that was the quickest I had ran in a long time, it is amazing how fast your legs move when you're life is at risk, "that was a nice little bit of exercise" Eric said laughing, "yes but it would have been better if we weren't dodging pieces of metal" I replied also laughing.  Everyone was there apart from those on guard duty and during the night it had changed from two to three, so I sat down on the bar stool and Eric went behind the counter looking for something to eat and all of a sudden bang and I fell off the stool, they all came t...
