It's funny

It's funny how to get your head away from one topic like the so called assanation attempt but that's all that is all over the web but I have to write about something else or I'll get a headache. Well it's been two days without my other half and I know that she's having a great time away from the pressures of work which for her is great both mentally and physically, I'm quite sure that she will come home reenergised. To be here with only my daughter and quite often her fiance is totally different, of course I do the same things that I did before my wife went on holiday but it's different, my wife was always miin charge when she was home but now it's my eldest daughter has sort of taken charge and our house is different, the atmosphere is different it's as if I am a guest in my own home which is starting to get me depressed and angry but I will suppress those feelings as after all this is my home no matter what anybody says or does,no one can take my rights as head of the household away from me. Every day in the morning my wife calls me and that's reassuring to hear her voice and that they are all enjoying themselves, I know that my wife has gone away to work a few times but this time it's different, she's only a seven hour drive from here but without a car it may as well be a million miles. It's still boiling hot and now at 0515 it's 24 and again set to rise to 39 degrees again although the weather forecast says that there's a possibility of rain but as I look out the window there are clouds but for now not rain clouds, it would be great if the temperature dropped a few degrees as now it's unbearable and boring, perhaps people enjoy this weather but I for one do not, I don't feel like eating as much as I used to and I really don't enjoy cooking but that's something I must do so that both my daughter and I have at least one good meal a day but it's standing over a hot stove that I hate but there it is, it's something that I have to do so I stop arguing with myself and just get on with it. The good thing that is always in the back of my mind is that it won't be long before my wife returns and everything will be back to normal thankfully as long as my wife doesn't find a rich gigalo on holiday, that's a good question, no, she'd be lost without me in her life as would I without her. My son is still in Germany with the company he works for and it's a lovely mid twenties with him so quite nice where the temperature is concerned. Well that's all for now so I hope you have a great hot day and don't get too depressed, it's bound to get cooler sooner or later. If you enjoyed reading today's blog then like, follow and share.

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...
