Stuck in the middle

No as usual it's not about the song but it's about the weekend to come. Everyone will be here as is usual I'm not sure exactly when but as is every second weekend this one will be a bit different, my wife will return from her job (thank God), my son will be home for the first time since he started his new job and as usual I'll be stuck in the middle with all sorts of questions filling the air and I won't know which question to listen to. Of course I don't mind as it'll be great to have the whole family together and even though it'll be bedlam it'll be nice to see everyone and listen to what's new in their lives, talking, eating and playing games, that's the way this weekend will go. Probably apart from the questions and incessant talking they'll probably be talking about one of our dogs who went for a haircut yesterday and came back looking like a skeleton on four legs only the head reminded me that she was one of our dogs and not a frankenstein dog, ha, ha. As usual my daughter will make sure everything is clean and tidy a job my wife normally helps with but now it's all down to my daughter, it's good because when she gets married she'll have to do the same thing in her house so now is a perfect time to get used to it,I'll try to help but I'll be more of a hinderence than a help but I will try, even if it's getting out of the way which is great for me as I don't perticularly like housework unless I really have to do it. Well that's all for now as it's almost time for my daughter to get up to go to work and of course give me my orders of what I have to do after shes had her coffee of course, it seems that no one can get their head together without that first cup of coffee in the morning. If you enjoyed todays topic although it was about my family then like, follow and share, I hear her coming down the stairs so I better sign off. 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...
