I forgot

I forgot that I don't have to go to work today as it's the weekend, oops it doesn't matter to me because I don't have a job I forgot. Today is the day my wife and the rest of the tourists come home so my eldest daughter will be going potty making sure that everything in the house is perfect so I'll dissappear as soon as she starts but it's hard to go outside because of the constant threat of attack by our enemies apart from number 2 the sun is number 1 the dreaded mosquitos, never mind outside is better than being shouted at by my eldest daughter. It's 23 and set to rise to 35 and it's terribly close as if we may have rain, we wish,the grass needs it as it has now become a carpet of brown and not green. The weekend started yesterday but it didn't seem as though it had started as only my daughter, her fiance and myself are here but tomorrow it'll be back to normal with everyone here apart from my son who is still in Germany working it won't be long before he has a holiday and Im sure he can't wait. Sensational news just in I've just been out to raid the freezer for today's dinner and it's actually raining, wow, 0539 how long will it rain for? The temperature has seemingly dropped thankfully and now you almost feel comfortable, I never thought that I would actually be happy to see the rain but I am, it's as though God has said enough hot and sunny weather now it's time for a change and I think mother nature has agreed with him. It's time to drink my second cup of coffee before my daughter gets up so I'll finish for now as the sky is darkening as if there's a storm on the way.

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...
