Unbelievable

It's unbelievably hot yesterday it reached a devastating 39 and now it's 23 degrees and it's going to get hotter by how much no one can forsee but judging by the loss of cloud cover I believe today will be the hottest day yet as we are about to feel the full force of the sun, maybe I'll be outside until 9 and then inside where it's reasonably cooler, our old aged fan is running at full throttle and it's making life indoors bearable. During this heatwave I feel different as I don't want to eat as much as usual probably because I drink so much water and I definitely don't feel like cooking over a hot stove, which makes it hotter, I can't believe I'm writing this but I hope it rains, weird but true, a few drops will bring the temperature down a bit maybe, well now everyone can see what the green house effect can do and we are to blame. it's amazing how different because of the heat people are everyone gets on everyone's nerves more than usual. It's the start of the weekend but it will be different from other weekends as my son is in Germany working so he won't be here, my wife from tomorrow will be on her holidays so tomorrow will be a totally different weekend. The situation in the world is just about the same with everyone throwing threats about Russia, China, everyone and mainly caused by Putins illegal invasion of Ukraine, there are all sorts of lies at the NATO meeting and it's hard to believe anyone, the only thing that's true is the amount of lives lost in Ukraine and who is helping and who isn't, thanks to the UK for giving permission to use the rockets they supplied Ukraine with on targets inside Russia, it may help Ukraine or it may lead to an escalation of the war to other countries, we will just have to wait until those rockets are launched and what they hit militeraly to see what the lunatics response will be. Apparently from what I've read the mad hatter has lost another high ranked general, I'm shedding tears of joy sorry to say. That's all for today so if you enjoyed reading todays short because of the heat 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...
