Ants

What a terrible way to start the morning especially getting up at 0210hrs, Ants. The reason for this is that I had to get up early to see my wife and eldest daughter off as they're going away to work for a week as I have already written in previous blogs and as they were making coffee, what else do you do first thing in the morning, my daughter looked at the wall and there were ants everywhere and when we moved the fridge we were horrified to see thousands of ants on the wall, floor and back of the fridge, then as always my daughter went into panic mode. Although they had to go she had to spray, vacuum and generally get wound up as if I couldn't handle the problem when they had gone, of course not I'm too old to handle that problem but that's the way she thinks. Every problem can be handled as long as you don't panic after all they are just ants how hard can that be,spray, hoover and Google on how to get rid of these little insects. When the shops open I'll get what I need and problem solved, well at least I have something to do in an empty house. The usual job's coffee, blog, wash and wipe dishes, feed the dogs and then go to the shop to get a permanent cure for the problem,I've used crushed bay leaves for the moment until I can decide the best way to get rid of them for good, what a way to start the day off. Now it's just peace and quiet waiting for the washing machine to finish so I can sort out that job and then just think about what I can do without any interference, the house is clean because my wife went beserck with the cleaning yesterday as it seems no one thinks that I can do what needs to be done but that's life when you live in a family atmosphere the men are not capable of doing anything as well as the females of the family, I have never had any problems with living alone before so I don't see why they can't rely on me to keep the house clean. There is one good thing about them going away to work and that is I can watch the football in peace, eat at normal times and generally enjoy my sort of holiday while it lasts until the phone rings just to check up on me and to see I have done what needs to be done.

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...

The other foot

I bet that the president of Ukraine is now extatic when the shoe is on the other foot and the idiot in the Kremlin is getting a right good kicking. It's been so long since the people of Ukraine had something to be happy about and not feel miserable every day. They may be still losing their homeland little by little every day but I now think that perhaps the tide is turning. The incursion into the russian motherland which is the first time since WW11 is an early Christmas present after all the suffering that they have endured physically, mentally and the bodies of their loved ones coming home from the front in boxes. Now it's the turn of the russian people to be upset and experience what the ordinary people of Ukraine have for so long. The Ukrainians have gone on the rampage and are taking russian soil not inch by inch but mile by mile, now there's a sense of jubilation among the people of Ukraine and the mood of the ordinary people of Russia has turned against the puppet ma...
