Summer

Wow Summers coming, the tempatures rising slowly but surely, April and it's 25 degrees, I'm sure that there are a lot of people who are happy about that but I for one am not. Here in Croatia where I and my family live in a small village surrounded by fields and every house has a garden with a lawn, it's great to live here but and that's a big but what if like me you suffer from hayfever, a terrable allergy if you're a sufferer like me. Every month through the Summer you try different tablets or sprays but you can never find something that works, the doctor prescribes all sorts of things that might help but nothing does. Advertisements in the media all saying that their products work but they don't and you still suffer. Everybody cuts the grass at least once a week, the farmers are in their fields doing what they have to do to feed their animals with dry hay and what do you end up with pollen floating in the air everywhere and if you're like me it's hell on earth, the only time you feel better is when you eventually fall asleep just to wake up to the same symptoms as you do every day. What you may ask are the most common symptoms, they're the ones that I'm experiencing now, headaches as though you have a hang over from the night before, itchy and red eyes as though you're on some sort of drug, runny nose which won't stop no matter how many tissues you use, sneezing like you're coming down with a cold at the beginning of Summer, it's a terrible feeling and I'm sure that there are a lot of people like me who suffer the same way and I feel sorry for you. Maybe people laugh at you because you have hayfever but they don't know what it's like, I'm going to finish now as I have to put eye drops in because it's hard for me to write and I'm running out of tissues so if you're a sufferer I understand what you're going through and tomorrow when the doctor works or the chemist is open I'll go to get some tablets again and perhaps I'll feel better.

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...
