What a day

What a day as it all started from the word go, as usual I got up first, dogs out, did their business and back in to go back to sleep, so far so good, then it was coffee time, no milk, ok for me I don't mind black coffee but when my wife got up and asked where her coffee was I told her that there wasn't any so I got an earful as I was to blame for there being no milk, I wasn't the last to use milk as I only drink coffee in the morning but never mind I was at fault. when she reluctantly drank her coffee she got ready and then she went to work I went with her as I needed the car to go and pay the bills as it was pension day. When I went to get my pension from the cash point it paid me the first amount but not the second, the door where you get your money was just opening and shutting, no money, great now I had to wait for the post office to open before I could explain what had happened which I did but now have to wait to get my money back, it was turning out to be a terrible start to the day. In the afternoon I had to pick up my wife and in the car with me was our eldest dog who had to go to the hairdressers so we picked up my wife and then went to drop off the dog it would take about an hour until she was ready and the hairdresser would telephone when the dog was ready to be collected so we went into town as I had to get some money and my wife had to go to a shop and then we had a coffee and waited, then the call came and we picked her up, she looked as though she was naked, no fur just skin and bones and as we were heading home there was flying hair in the air but quickly we arrived home and put her out to pee, she looked weird but at least she'll be cooler during the hot weather. On with the rest of a bad day, I didn't have time to sort the rubbish out in the morning so I decided to get that over not a good idea. when I had sorted the rubbish into the different containers all that was left was empty pizza boxes so I set fire to them but that was a bad idea as there is a law that you can't burn any rubbish outside during the harvesting season so out came my wife with a hose pipe to put the fire out, again I was at fault great I thought to myself. Then the day got even worse with a storm brewing on the horizon so it was a case of batten down the hatches and wait, it arrived but not as bad as in some places, it rained until I got up this morning at least the air is fresher. Well that was enough for me so I decided to go upstairs and read before falling asleep, thankfully that one hell of a day was over. If you enjoyed todays 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...
