Transport

What do I mean by transport well like myself who has driven almost all my life from a car, motorbike, lorry and even a tank to be without any form of transport is unbearable to say the least. A few months ago I had to sell my old Mercedes because all the wiring had to be replaced and would have cost a fortune to repair so she had to go and now for the first time in my life I haven't any means of getting from a to b, the only alternatives are to borrow my wifes car or worst of all use the bus. To have a car sitting on the driveway just in case is a must but for me there isn't one and I'm forced to use public transport which is very inconvenient. We live in a village and the bus is only every hour and it costs way too much to get to the local town or if you have to go to the nearest city for whatever reason then you have to take out a mortgage to get there. Another reason that a car is important is that if something happens to myself or to a member of my family God forbid I have no transport, my wife uses her car to go to work, my daughters car is used by her fiance to get to his place of work so I'm stuck having to use the bus or hitch hike, ok but what if an emergency occurs what do I do? At my age there's no way that I can walk great distances, don't get me wrong I'm not an invalid but walking in an emergency would be impossible so I need a car but I haven't one, I could get a loan to buy one but I promised myself I would never take out a loan again as it would take forever to pay it back and all I want now is to pay all my loans back and then my pension is mine not some banks. What happens when the children who go to school break up for the summer then the buses change their schedule to save money which makes sense for them but for other people and myself it becomes almost impossible to get anywhere. The worst thing about not having a car apart from the above is that you lose your sense of independence and have to rely on someone or something else to travel and it's a terrible feeling, like for instance my son works three and a half hours from home and although he drives he hasn't yet got a car so he can't come home when he wants to or my wife who's car had to go to the mechanic to have it ready for the m.o.t so she had to use the bus. There is no substitute for a car whichever way you look at it and not to have one is an indiscribable feeling you lose that sense of being able to do or go wherever you want or need to when you want to so to end having a car is a must and without one then that's tough but as always there's a way around it. Well that's all for todays topic as I'm making myself depressed so if you enjoyed reading it then like, follow and share. Thank you.

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

Terrible

Isn't it just terrible to see once again ordinary people being targeted by bombs and mortars and being once again driven from their homes. The orders obviously coming from the top which of course means non other than the war monger himself, Putin and the Ukrainians can't do a thing to stop it except helping with the evacuation of the elderly and sick from the border towns with Russia. It is a familiar site for me after witnessing it myself here in Croatia in 1991, so I know how those people feel being driven from their homes and normal lives not knowing wheater they will return or not by a superior force intent on carrying out their orders by a lunatic dictator. Here in Croatia after so many years people are back in their homes, rebuilt and the villages, towns and cities are back to normal, Croatia has come back from the brink of destruction to become a stronger and better country, all because of the heart and will of the people. There is a huge question mark over wheater the U...
