Mornings

Mornings what does that mean for you, well for me during the Winter it means getting up early so I've got time to get the fire lit so that's it warm before everyone gets up, doing what I have to do in the wc because I won't get a chance when everyone's awake, having my first cup of coffee and a cigarette, letting the dogs out so that they can go to the toilet then feeding them, then thinking about what I will write in my blog while I have time and then writing it in peace. Then it's time for everyone to get up and the silence is broken with arguments about who's going to be in the bathroom first then someone complaining that the one in the bathroom is taking to long. Then I have to go for a wee so I go outside which is less likely to cause an argument, then when they are all finished they go to work and silence returns thankfully and then I look around the room, the dogs have gone back to sleep, I've still got to finish my blog but staring me in the face is a mountain of dishes from the night before and it's worse on the weekends when everyone's home but I've got used to it now so I don't mind. Lately for this time of year it's been unusually warm and now all of a sudden the temperature has dropped from the low thirties to four degrees with rain and and a cold wind blowing it's as if Winter has arrived not Spring I leave my blog alone and get some more firewood because it's still chilly inside and I want it to be warm when everyone comes home then my second cup of coffee before I go to the shop for whatever I need for the day, it's hectic in the mornings but at least my mind starts to work and I'm wide awake for what awaits me which in a way is a good thing because as you get older things that have to be done get harder but you don't want to admit it to yourself. Well that's all for today a quick insite into my mornings, I wonder if you're mornings are the same or do you get to stay in bed until it's quiet and then get up to start the day off in peace. After being in the army from a youngster I'm so used to getting up at a certain time every day so I don't get the luxury of a lay in even if I wanted to, what a shame. Comment if your day starts the same way or different and of course share. 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...

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...
