Stupid

Well just a few words about Croatias performance, adaquate, almost a win and in the dying moments a goal so we ended up with a draw, one point is better than nothing now all we have to do is beat Italy to proceed in the competition, that's all I have to say about football for today apart from the fact that I hope England loses and then I'll be a bit happier. It made me happy yesterday when Ukraine attacked Russia everywhere especially where it hurts most, their oil refinaries, great to see them burning and smoke coming from their military hq in occupied territory. The best thing or the most stupid thing was Putin getting off his plane and being hugged by the tiny Korean dictator and one of the few friends that he has and then discussing who was to get in the car first, I found it hilarious and the drive to the center where every lampost was decorated with either a Russian flag or Putins picture, it looked as if he was running for election not just visiting. Two idiotic dictators in one car, what a fantastic target and a way to kill two birds with one stone or perhaps a rocket. Only two more days and my wife and daughter will be back which will be great but on the downside my wife has decided to go back again next week mainly because of money but that's her decision not mine. It's as though I see her only on weekends just like my son and my youngest daughter but that's life, is it worth it I don't know but if she thinks so then it must be,at least the house won't be so empty because my daughter will be here and the dogs won't be so depressed if it's possible for a dog to get depressed. That's all for today as it's absolutely boiling with temperatures rising to 35 and at night falling to a muggy 22, no wind which makes it worse and it's hard to sleep and this is only the start of summer so we may as well get used to it. That's all for today so if you enjoyed todays 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...
