Easter

What is Easter, for me and a lot of catholics around the world it's the second most important day of the year, Jesus died and then resarected from the grave. Everyone looks forward to Easter as a religious time and as a family time, all the family around the table eating breakfast which is normally cold and huge and of course food that was blessed the day before in church, it's a joyous time especially for the children because it's chocolate Easter eggs time which for them is probably the only time of the year that parents don't say that chocolate and sweets will rot your teeth, all the children are saying yippee we can eat and enjoy chocolate without being shouted at by our parents. The only thing that bothers me as a husband and male is that for the female's it's Spring cleaning time when the home is cleaned from top to bottom and the best thing if you're male is to get out of the way because if you're in the way you will inevitably get shouted at so I for one magically dissappear where I can't be dragged into doing this or that. It's also the time for last minute shopping for ingredients for cakes and the Easter breakfast that will be ok in the fridge until Easter Sunday or until when they're needed. On the Friday before Easter it's a day of fasting or a fish day when here where I live we make a fish stew but this year it will be a day earlier because for the first time our son won't be with us during the festive season because he has to work which is unfortunate but that's his job. When I think about Easter I wonder if all the countries that are at war have time to celebrate Easter like for instance Ukraine, with the threat of bombs do the children go chocolate egg hunting outside, I doubt it but I do suppose they celebrate in some way. During the time that Jesus was alive I know from history and the Bible that people were crusified just as the Bible says Jesus died and then taken down from the cross and put in a cave with a large boulderer rolled in front of the tomb to stop anyone entering but then on Easter Sunday the boulderer was miracosly moved and the body of Jesus was gone, was this his last miracle, I for one belive it was but as usual there are a lot of disbelievers around the world and they have a right to their opinion just as I have to mine as a catholic. I believe. Well in the end I wish you all a happy and enjoyable Easter.

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

The other foot

I bet that the president of Ukraine is now extatic when the shoe is on the other foot and the idiot in the Kremlin is getting a right good kicking. It's been so long since the people of Ukraine had something to be happy about and not feel miserable every day. They may be still losing their homeland little by little every day but I now think that perhaps the tide is turning. The incursion into the russian motherland which is the first time since WW11 is an early Christmas present after all the suffering that they have endured physically, mentally and the bodies of their loved ones coming home from the front in boxes. Now it's the turn of the russian people to be upset and experience what the ordinary people of Ukraine have for so long. The Ukrainians have gone on the rampage and are taking russian soil not inch by inch but mile by mile, now there's a sense of jubilation among the people of Ukraine and the mood of the ordinary people of Russia has turned against the puppet ma...
