Streets

You know what a street is well I'm going to write about what's on it apart from pavements. On almost every street there are, apart from shops and cafes, there are street performers. You can see anything from magicians to singers, do you stop to watch or listen, I do. When you have had enough of one you move onto the next but do you put something in their hat or wherever they are collecting money, I do sometimes if they're good. As I walk on down the street there's a singer and I stop to listen, perhaps they are good or bad but I still listen and wonder why are these people are doing what they do. Thinking about it I wonder if they're doing it for a bit of extra money, practicing or hoping that they may get spotted by someone in their particular field, get noticed and maybe get a proper job out of it. There are a few really good singers out on the streets but why, are they in college and need money to pay for their tuition or do they just like performing and hearing people clap at the end of their act or maybe they just like seeing the smiles on peoples faces as they seem to forget about shopping and stop to listen. Why if some of them are really good don't they audition for a reality show on tv and there are loads of them, on those shows they will reach a wider audience not just a few shoppers and maybe get a real shot at fame and fortune. Whatever act they are doing out on the streets they have one real thing and that is courage, courage to be there no matter what the weather is like or how good they think they are , so what ever reason they are performing I admire them because they have that courage and I don't mind giving them something out of my pocket to give them encouragement to keep doing what they enjoy and entertaining others who may have problems but after watching or listening they forget their problems if only for a minute or two, so thanks to all the street performers,keep doing what you are doing and try to enjoy yourselves in whatever your performance is and don't stop just because you don't have a large audience, if you're good enough then more and more people will stop, watch and listen and of course you will make more money which is why you are probably there in the first place. Well that's all from me for today I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and will continue to follow me and perhaps share with someone you know. 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...
