Back to work

Monday, Monday, no not the song by the Mama's and Papas but the end of the weekend and the beginning of the working week, I think that there are a lot of people who hate Mondays but you have to work to pay the bills, shame. Today I'm up early as it's hard to sleep because it's 23 and humid, yesterday my son got up early for no particular reason, l as I said was outside so there was still peace and quiet, the weekend went as usual but with the exception that my eldest daughter and her fiance were going with their friends to the same place as did my wife on Saturday so they were running around getting everything ready with my daughter in charge as usual, they would be gone for the day, a few less voices to add to my headache but the rest of the tribe was still at home but I could tolerate them, my youngest daughter and her fiance went to church in the morning,at least it would be quiet for an hour. When my wife got up and finished her coffee she started to prepare dinner for those of the family who were left, when she had finished she did the dishes which I did ask if she wanted me to do them but she said no, at least I asked. Dinner was ready by twelve so my son, my future step son and I finished playing cards, my daughter set the table and we all sat down to eat, I think in a way my wife enjoys cooking Sunday lunch for us all and she's always happy when there's empty plates, my youngest daughter is always the last to finish because she can't stop talking but we're all used to that, so while she was still eating my wife was doing the dishes, the men folk of the family were doing nothing as usual, it's terrible being a man and have to watch someone else doing all the work, ha. In the afternoon they played football on the Playstation, my wife catnapping and my daughter still talking, the afternoon went as usual but with everyone indoors as it was thirty five outside and with hardly any breeze, my son decided he wanted to make brownies, so he and my wife were looking for everything that they needed but they didn't find everything so my son just improvised? It was about three and I was peckish so I sat at the table and reheated some leftovers from dinner in the microwave as I had a feeling that the brownies were not going to turn out as they should. Cooking time over not a complete success so my son was a bit disappointed but at least he tried, it was getting close to the time when everyone left, my daughter and her fiance left first because they as usual had to visit his family on the way back home to Osijek, then my son after taking a shower and getting ready to go in a shared car which he of course had to pay for which came from an app where you find people who are driving to the same place you want to go and if there's room then you go with them,he won't be home for quite a long time as he has to go to Germany to work for three weeks and then on a short holiday on the coast and then back to Germany, it's a shame that my wife and I won't see him for around two months but that's his job, if he wants to keep it then he has to go where they send him. Well it was just a case of waiting for our eldest daughter to come home but we didn't know when so I went upstairs to the sauna to lay down, a towel over my head to wipe away the sweat, a quick read and tablets then try to sleep. Well that's all for now if you enjoyed todays blog the 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...
