The end.

The end, it's probably not what you're thinking but it could be, I'm thinking about the end of the football season, what will all those die hard fans all over Europe do now when they haven't got their favorite team to support either at the stadium with a few friends and a few drinks or watching on telly tough question don't you think? No more excuses on a Saturday or Sunday not to be with their family, no more excuses not to do something around the house which their wives do while they are watching the game, desperation. Now they have to do something in the garden if the weather is nice,mow the grass and get rid of the weeds, wash the car, go shopping with the wife, try to fix anything that needs fixing, it's a terrible thing not having an excuse on Saturday, all they can think about is how much longer until the season starts again, I feel sorry for all those fans who are left in that position but until the first game of the new season then they will have to experience what their family does when they're not at home, what a change. Never mind there's bound to be some other sport on telly that's worth watching so at least they have an excuse to watch something or they could say that they're off to the local cafe or pub for a drink with their friends which probably upsets the wife but she understands as she is used to it, not having her husband around on a Saturday. Another meaning to the end could be the end of Ukraine who has sought independence for so long and now because of the West not providing them with what they needed not so long ago they might be seeing the end coming as Putins hoards are rolling their way over Ukrainian soil and their chance of democracy is all but gone. They will of course still try to stop the Russians but the chance of that happening are reducing by the day, just more dead or injured, more families torn apart, more villages levaled to the ground, the only way to stop Putin is to shoot him or for the West to send troops to Ukraine to help but with Putins frame of mind then that could really be the end. The end of the growing season for farmers, the end of the week,month or year, everything has an end even life itself. What I wrote about are only two examples of the end, one with a happy end in the future and the other with a desasterous end in the future, of course there are loads of other things that come to an end but these two jump out at me and that's why I wrote about them.

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...
