Magic

Well for you and a lot of other people and especially children it means someone on tv or on stage performing magic acts which leave you wondering how they did it, but for me after the last week it means something else. It all started when I won a fair amount of euros on a online casino app, so I began by paying off bills so that I don't get reminders through the post, that was great so when I saw I had money left I wondered what else I should do with the money, buying a few things for the house, a new lawn mower, having enough money to give the children some for Easter, paying for my wife and daughter to have their nails done as they do every month but this month it didn't come out of their purse which made things a lot easier for them. So I had used up quite a bit of my winnings and I started thinking what I should do now so I put enough money aside to pay for pizza when the whole family was together, so what now I thought about the most important person in my life which is my wife, I asked my son what would be a nice surprise for her and he replied that I should take her out for a meal so I waited for her to come home from work and I asked her if she would like to go to a restaurant, just the two of us and she said that she would rather have a ring instead so as I had enough money left I said ok then you can have both, the smile on her face was magic. A few days later we went shopping after me telling her don't worry about how much it costs and after looking around the jewelry shops she eventually chose one that she really liked so I paid for it and after having a coffee we went back to the car and she gave me a kiss and a hug and said thank you, now that's magic. We decided on where and when we would go to a restaurant, so we decided on Saturday after work so now there was just the waiting and it made me feel younger again as though we had just got engaged, a ring and a special meal just us without any hassle or worry about money and a few hours without having to worry about anything. The time came for us to get ready, so I put on a pair of trousers not trainers, shoes so that that would make her happy she of course dressed up and after taking a few pictures we set off. We arrived at the restaurant and had a cup of coffee and an aperative before we went to our table. The waitress showed us to our table, gave us the menus and we had something to drink while deciding what we were going to eat, we ordered and after a while our order arrived, enough to feed three or four people but we ate our fill and what was left we took home with us, ali through the meal my wife was taking photos of what we were eating, then the waitress came back and asked if we wanted desert, there was no way I could eat dessert as well but my wife ordered pancakes with nuts, chocolate and ice cream, it was hard going for her to eat it all but she said that she wasn't going to waste any and in the end we had finished, full stomachs and a smile on her face, we had another cup of coffee and waited for the bill, paid and left. As we were drinking she told me that this was the first time we had been out for a meal together since our honeymoon which surprised me but she always remembered that sort of thing but I knew that she was happy, now after writing about it I have to say that those two things meant a lot to her and that for me was pure Magic but magic like that doesn't happen every day it's a memory that will last but when it does it is really worth while just seeing the smile on your partners face, puer, pure Magic.

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...

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...

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...
