Surprised

Well yesterday I had quite a surprise on my blog, it went from the usual 30 to 40 to 245, I was absolutely amazed and I still can't quite work out why it jumped so much. Obviously I'm not a "professional blogger" just someone who likes writing, it will I imagine take me a long time to get used to it but rewards come to those who wait. The reason I am writing about this topic today is that I really don't understand the implications of blogging and how to utilize them, I'm not an idiot nor am I stupid it's just new to me to have so many people that read my blog, perhaps it's my age at 66 I'm not a spring chicken and it's hard to get my head around this new idea for me of putting my thoughts and feelings down on a blog and then publishing them and amazingly enough having people comment and then of course out of politeness have to reply which with the help of my daughter I now know how to do it, thankfully, it's great to see some sort of feedback to what I write because then I know that people are reading my blog and I have a sense that I am in contact with my readers and to see if they agree or disagree with my outlook on life and events that are going on all around us and nobody actually says anything so I do, why not, I am free to say whatever I want as long as it doesn't offend anyone except the people that I am blogging about who are evil and should be stopped from doing what they are doing, you if you have read my recent blogs know who and why I am writing about these people. My only real hope and wish is that people all over the world continue to read my blog and if they know how to comment do so then I can comment and keep my mind alert with having to think about how to reply. Once again thank you for reading and I hope that you continue to do so as it means so much to me as an amateur blogger, who knows perhaps one day I will become better and understand blogging much better and then I can write more but if my numbers of readers and followers go back down I will still keep writing because I enjoy getting up early in the morning and writing. If you enjoyed reading and understanding what I was trying to say then as usual like, share and most of all comment. 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...

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...
