D Day

No disrespect to those brave men and women in WWII who were there but I borrowed the title because today means a great day not only for me but for all Croatians. It's do or die, delight, disgrace, despair or tears of sorrow or tears of joy. We will all know the answer at the end of 45mins, the end of hope or the beginning of dreams that do come true. Those dreams lie on the shoulders of eleven players who have yet to show we the supporters that they are worthy to wear the red and white shirts that the whole world knows as the colours of Croatia, the supporters who spend a lot of money to be there in the stadium and those back home watching big screens to see if their heroes can do the almost impossible, they are the ones who really matter and our team must show us that they are worthy of our undying support and admiration. Those footballers must play out of their skin, give every ounce of blood and sweat to give us the result that we need and pray for,the result that. maybe give us a chance to advance to the next stage of the competition and to be where we always were in the top footballing nations of the world not to end up as has beens, let us see the spirit that won our country back from the aggressors during the war on the green grass of Hamburg. Of course I'm talking about football as if you hadn't guessed by now, the sport that both men and women of Croatia love, the sport that puts the name of Croatia on every one's lips when people talk about football and I for one want it to stay that way and not be relagated into the unknown. We'll that's all for now as I have to prepare for an early lunch as I don't want to fall asleep as I often do after eating, I don't want to miss a moment of the build up, kick off and the match which I hope and pray will give us all our pride back.

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...
