Sleep

Isn't it terrible when you miss out on your sleep for whatever reason you just can't fall asleep even if you're absolutely knackered and when you eventually do fall asleep it's time to get up, what a waste of time. This week has been like that almost every night, the main reason of course with us is the heat even the dogs feel it all they want to do is sleep although I've read that in the mid thirties is bad for them but when they go out all they do is fall asleep in the sun. It must be terrible for the people who work outside where there's no wind and no air conditioning just sun. With us it's in the mid to high thirties and during the night it goes down to the mid twenties which is the main cause for the lack of sleep, all you do is sweat and then move because the pillow is wet and you can't get comfortable, I don't mind the heat day or night as long as there's a cooling breeze with it but with us there isn't so you just lye there waiting for your body to give in and fall asleep, fat chance. The weather men say that there's rain and cooler weather on the horizon but who actually believes what they say they're almost always wrong so the hope of a restbite from this heat is in my opinion is far off but I'm no expert just someone who hopes for a change so I can get some well earned sleep. The experts tell you to drink so many liters of water a day but even the cold water is warm and if you leave it for a time it's too warm to drink, what a situation. During the day I find myself dropping off to sleep not because I want to but it just happens and then your head and neck hurt because you nodded off, what I could do with is a good night's sleep in my own bed and then waking up feeling reenergised and ready for the day to come but it seems that I'll have to wait for that moment to arrive. My wife and daughter should be back sometime today so at least that's something to look forward to. Well if you enjoyed todays lethargic 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...
