Motorways

Motorways, what a waste of time, money and petrol, they are supposed to be a faster way to get from A to B but in my experience their not. First of all the roads themselves are worse than ordinary roads in any village, town or city anywhere in the world, they are full of potholes and it's not a very comfortable way to get to your destination, you spend more time trying to avoid the holes in the road than you do driving. Then because you are tired of avoiding the holes you pull over at a service station for a cup of coffee and maybe something to eat and of course it relieves the boredom of driving, you order whatever you want eat and drink then you ask for the bill, wow, looking at it you find yourself amazed at how much it is, it's as though they can charge you what ever they want, disgraceful and to make matters worse there are service stations everywhere and they're all the same, overpriced and you even have to pay to use the toilet. That's a shock so it's back on the road again but not driving fast as that's the purpose of these roads because there are road works everywhere so you have to slow down so therefore you use more petrol as you probably get stuck behind a lorry so you end up changing gears all the time but at last the road works finish and back up to speed until the next set of road works and again you have to slow down, then as your reaching your destination you see that you're running low on petrol so into the service station again but thankfully at least the price of petrol is the same as every where else and quickly into the car to avoid paying for a cup of coffee. Then as you reach the end of your journey traffic jams, again you slow down until you get to the toll booth where it's hands in your pocket to pay for the so called privalage of using the road what a complete waste of time that journey was, then because your in the city there's cars everywhere and idiots driving them, not using their indicators when changing lanes, people on their mobile phones which is against the law but no one seems to worried about it, no wonder there are so many accidents. Now I know that next time I have to go on a trip I'll use the old roads where it won't cost so much to get to where I'm going and my advice to all drivers is to do the same thing, at least it won't cost as much, maybe it will take longer but at least you don't have the boredom of using the motorways and there's also something to look at so your journey is more interesting and not as expensive and of course not so much damage to your car. Well that's all I have to say on yesterday's business trip I'm sorry that I had to go and especially use the motorways.

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...

Terrible

Isn't it just terrible to see once again ordinary people being targeted by bombs and mortars and being once again driven from their homes. The orders obviously coming from the top which of course means non other than the war monger himself, Putin and the Ukrainians can't do a thing to stop it except helping with the evacuation of the elderly and sick from the border towns with Russia. It is a familiar site for me after witnessing it myself here in Croatia in 1991, so I know how those people feel being driven from their homes and normal lives not knowing wheater they will return or not by a superior force intent on carrying out their orders by a lunatic dictator. Here in Croatia after so many years people are back in their homes, rebuilt and the villages, towns and cities are back to normal, Croatia has come back from the brink of destruction to become a stronger and better country, all because of the heart and will of the people. There is a huge question mark over wheater the U...
