Rain

Is there anybody or anything that likes the rain apart from Prince's Purple Rain and of course the classic "singing in the rain" I myself detest the rain, what do you do you think when it's bucketing down, nothing, just sit on your backside and wait for it to stop. There are people who like the rain like people in Africa and other dry places that need rain for their crops to grow so that they will have crops to harvest, which means they will have food to last through until the next time it rains.It helps firemen who live in places like America and Australia where there are always wild fires and the rain makes their life a lot easier. Wow its stopped oh no it's started again. There are as well those in hot countries who see their resavoirs drying up and therefore there won't be water for household use so when it arrives they are jumping for joy. In a way rain is good for countries at war because there will be less dead or injured, the soldiers have time to prepare for when the rain stops but I'm sure that there are many of those soldiers who don't want it to ever stop so they can go home to their families. There are people who make their living out of sunny days like people who work on the seaside holiday resorts who hate rainy days as there are then less tourists spending their money so it doesn't help them. Here I am sitting on my backside trying to think of things that rain is good for, my dogs wont even go out for a pee, apart from the above rain is good for what, well if you put your wellies on and a coat then you can wash the car for instance, it'll keep your water bills down and while you're out then wash the windows so that when the sun comes back you have more time to sit and enjoy the sun but if it gets too hot then you hope it rains so it's a no win situation. The real downside for me is that rain makes the weeds and grass grow so when it stops instead of sunbathing you have to weed the garden and cut the grass, thankfully for me my wife and daughter do it, I don't know whether they do it out of necessity or they just like being out in the sun, either way I don't have to do it, I just get tired watching them and it's bad for my back, well that's my excuse so you see there are pros and cons for rain but whatever they are I still don't like the rain and coming from Wales which is the land of song and rain to lovely warm and sunny country like Croatia it makes a welcome change. Well I don't know what you think I just wrote what I think and everybody has their own opinion for their likes and dislikes of rain. Well that's all for todays rainy and depressing blog, if by some chance you enjoyed it then please share, follow and comment as I'm always glad to hear from you. Thank you.

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...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
