Cloths/Articles

Why is he writing about that you may ask yourself well I'll tell you. Have you ever wondered why your children must have new clothes, bags or shoes in the Winter and in the Summer, I think about it all the time, when I was growing up it was different to today. It's as if last years clothes or shoes aren't good enough because of the mark or because they are out of fashion or the wrong logo, I, perhaps grew up in a different time when my parents couldn't afford new stuff whenever I wanted them and I wore the same things for at least a year or so. In days gone by we were taught that our clothes and shoes are ok until they have holes in them, then we got new ones and shoes, well instead of buying new we took them to the cobblers who would fix them and then they were like new that's why today cobblers and dressmakers are few and far between because everyone instead of using them we buy new. Myself I'm not afraid to admit it that I wear the same stuff until they're worn out and then and only then will I throw them away and buy new, that's the difference between older and younger, they have jobs and therefore can afford new things whenever they want, gone are the days of hand me downs, no more wearing your older brothers or sisters clothes which are still ok but are too small so they have to have new. What difference does it make if a t-shirt, shirt, casual trousers, jeans or trainers have a logo or emblem on them after all they're the same as any other so you are really paying for the mark and supposedly better quality, I for one am still wearing suits and t-shirts that are years old, no mark but are still wearable, maybe not fashionable but who cares, I don't,but as I said if you're children have they're wages then they can spend them on what ever they want after all they worked for their money and it's up to them how they spend it. So I'll keep wearing the clothes and shoes that I have until I have to buy new and they won't have to be a marked brand I'll just go to the cheapest shop and buy them there, my shoes well they're a few year's old but I still wear them until they are no longer wearable and then I will buy new. Well that's all from me for today but think about what I have written and try to remember what it was like when you were growing up and why there aren't as many cobblers or dressmakers around anymore, there's another skill that is dying out along with watch makers and the like all the traditional arts that are a job of the past and only new counts, unfortunately. Well I'll write again tomorrow so until then share or comment if you enjoyed my blog, thank you.

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...
