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...

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...
