Birthday's

I've often wondered why people put such an importance on birthdays after all it's just a date and a normal day, people say happy birthday as if it's your last, ok everything is changing with your body but your basically the same person as you were day before. For some it's important as is today after being in and out of hospital my mam is 93 which is a great age and I hope that she enjoys herself after all she is my mother and I love her very much and hope that she lives until 100, what stories she will have to tell and what memories she must have good or bad. Then you come back down from 93 to 22 which will be my daughters age on the 1st of next month, what a difference but she is just the same maybe a bit happier but she's still our daughter. Yesterday everyone went back to their respective homes and just my wife, daughter and myself left, barbie went great, good food, sunny day and then the heavens opened, thunder, lightning and hail stones the size of ping pong balls, what a way to end a delightful day but that's the weather for you, changeable, as it is all over the world but we have only ourselves to blame after all we burnt and are still burning fossil fuels which scientists are saying is destroying the ozone layer which is the main cause of the drastic weather changes,when will we ever learn. The same can be said for the lunatic in the Kremlin who is getting his own people killed over a pointless war and one that with the help of the west he will never win so now he's trying different tactics by threatening the UK saying that if the Ukrainians use British weapons against Russia on russian soil then the UK will suffer the consequences, is he that full of bull or what, somebody needs urgently to get rid of him by whatever means nessasery. All he and the other idiot in China are doing is upping the anti as if it was a poker game with them having the upper hand but as with Hitler those tactics never work, you just get your own people killed and ruin your economy, they are just upsetting the balance of life on our planet and for what reasons, why are there so many idiots like them in the world today? Well that's all from me for today, try to enjoy going back to work, if you enjoyed todays blog then like, follow and share. Thank you.

Seventh installment, sorry it's a bit late but its hard to write what I wrote and remember.

The next day it was awfully quiet, the calm before the storm perhaps, nothing much for breakfast so we decided to try and lay the land line. So off we went house to house laying the wire behind us and then the mortars started again so we hit the ground, lying down was the safest if caught outside, there were pieces of shrapnel hitting the wall near to us and it was not a very safe place to be so we decided to make a run for it, that was the quickest I had ran in a long time, it is amazing how fast your legs move when you're life is at risk, "that was a nice little bit of exercise" Eric said laughing, "yes but it would have been better if we weren't dodging pieces of metal" I replied also laughing.  Everyone was there apart from those on guard duty and during the night it had changed from two to three, so I sat down on the bar stool and Eric went behind the counter looking for something to eat and all of a sudden bang and I fell off the stool, they all came t...

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...
