Waking up late

How do you feel when you wake up late, I feel like s..t. I normally get up at 0345 but today I got up at 0510 and I don't know where I am, no second cup of coffee with my wife when she gets up normally to go to work and by then my blog is finished and published, great start to the day? Second weekend, bedlam, when everyone is here apart from my son who is in his new flat and new job, now for the first time I have to cook dinner but only roast a chicken but I have forgotten how because it's always myself, wife and daughter and I've forgotten how to cook for more than three people. Do you sometimes experience the same thing, if so then you will understand, but now I'm drinking my second cup of coffee and then I'll be alert and be able to write my blog, something that belongs to me which I enjoy,it brings me back to normality and when I write my mind starts working which is great. How do you feel when you get up late is it the same as me or different? First thing I normally do is to look through the headlines from around the world, which are usually depressing but that's life on our planet, war in Ukraine, the opposition leader in Belarus in jail for over a year and his wife who is in exile doesn't know whether he is alive or dead just because of another dictator or should I say Putins puppet, flooding in Dubai, great for a holiday, sun, desert and flooding, what a great combination, accusations from USA that China is helping Russia and messing around with internet connections, Trump back in court, it's as if we as individuals haven't got enough problems without thinking about the world and how it will end up, I don't know why I look at headlines early in the morning,is it because deep down I want to know what is happening or because I want to have a topic to write about? It would be better if I only wrote about my life than about the global situation, I'm not a polatition, a scientist, a philoser, I'm just an ordinary person trying to get from day to day as are a lot of people on this planet, war, disease, starvation, global warming, what a mess this world is in, it's better if I finish now as I am beginning to feel depressed again even though the sun is shining I have work to do, so if you enjoyed reading today's blog then please share and perhaps comment. Thank you.

    Thanks Chris. Let us know a bit about Croatia. I was just watching some video of one of the coastal towns I forget which one but it was absolutely beautiful.

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...
