Barbie time

No it's not that stupid film but as the Aussies call it barbie time or in other words b-b-q, a long time ago when there were not so many of us for Sunday dinner it was my job but now we borrow a big barbecue from my daughters fiance and then all the youngsters do it and I think they enjoy it especially now it's sunny and the really good thing is that I don't have to do anything but sit back and enjoy someone else doing the hard work and perhaps just perhaps getting off my bum to go to the loo, I feel sorry for my wife who has to prepare the food but I think that she enjoys it, just like the film "it's a wonderful life" I agree and can't wait until maybe there will be some grandchildren in the future to keep me occupied while I'm waiting for the dinner bell to ring. All around the table, let the mad hatters tea party begin, all diving in to get the particular items of food that they like, talking with their mouthful and bits of food flying all around, food swapping if someone has too much, I suppose that a lot of you who read my blog know what it is like, everyone putting too much on their plate because they're eyes are bigger than their stomach, garlic bread going from one end of the table to the other and in the end empty plates, leftovers for the evening or tomorrows dinner, washing up to do thanks to my wife and one of our daughters dissappears and bones for somebody to take for the dogs as ours aren't allowed to eat chicken bones, something to drink to wash it all down and then getting rid of the rubbish and then for me it's back to sitting on my bum and watching the chaos going on all around me and thinking to myself this is what family life is all about and feeling happy with the goings on and of course my full stomach. If there was a heaven on earth then Sunday b-b-q is it, well for me at least, it's not that I'm lazy but why interfere when everything is being done, the only thing that can spoil this idilic scene is the worst word of all, rain and as I'm writing I hear the sound of thunder spoiling the peace and quiet and hoping that it doesn't rain but at least we have a garage where dinner can be cooked without everyone getting wet so after I've finished I'll go out to the garage and make room for the barbecue just in case. If you enjoyed todays blog and are feeling hungry all I can say is bon appetite, follow, like and share if want. 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...
