Change

Well it certainly is a change from yesterday to today, yesterday 32, clear blue skies, my daughter and her fiance mowed the grass and everything was normal and then the heavens opened, rain, thunder and lightning, the temperature now is a lovely 18 with a cool breeze blowing, what a change from the last few days, this sort of weather suits me down to the ground although our dogs aren't too happy it seems that they don't like getting wet. No real change on the Ukranian front apart from more dead and injured, the only change is that there seems to be a change at the head of the ex kgb why I don't know what's going on in Putins tiny mind but I'm sure it's something stupid. The same in America except that Trump is talking rubbish which is not really a change, the only change really is that there seems to be a attempted take over by the army in of all places Bolivia, you hardly ever hear anything from down there so that's a change, I hope that civil war doesn't break out and as usual only the ordinary people will suffer. Does any sort of change really matter, I'm not really sure unless it's a change that actually affects you directly like something to do with the family, that change really matters, the best change for me will come when my wife returns and our life can get back to normal that's a change I like. What sort of change affects you or doesn't it matter as long as life goes on as normal but what if a drastic change happened then I'm sure that you wouldn't be happy about it. Well that's all for now if you enjoyed reading my blog then like, follow and share. Thank you.

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...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
