What a start

What a start to Sunday, woke up at 0200 hrs because their all going on holiday and it's better to travel to the coast by night than by day because there's no traffic, there was a huge lightning show outside with lightning everywhere you looked thankfully no rain and most important no hail. My youngest daughters fiance will drive as it's a seven hour drive maybe my wife will drive for a while I'm not sure, hope they have a safe trip and arrive ready to get in the water. After they had gone I started to search the web for anything new and straight away news everywhere about a possible assassination attempt on Trump while he was at an election rally, he's ok as a bullet grased his ear but unfortunately there's one dead and two others seriously wounded, after I finish my writing this then I'll go back to the web to see if there are any updates, although I don't like Trump this sort of thing should never happen in a democratic country especially America but because there's no real gun control there then anything is possible, I wonder if Putin telephoned his good friend to see if he's alright, what will be the consequences of this on the election it's any bodies guess. Well to get back to normality I've got to cook dinner for the next week but that's ok as long as everyone enjoys their holidays. It's as usual warm 22 but will again be 38 degrees or higher today so I'll prepare dinner early as my eldest daughter is sleeping and there's nothing or no one to bother me. It's just an empty house with not a sound, the thunder and lightning has moved away and it's all quiet as it always is when I usually get up at this time. Well nothing else to write about so I'll sign off now, have a coffee and then prepare dinner. If you enjoyed reading todays blog then like, follow and share. Thank you. A little added thought what if the person who died was the real target and not Trump?

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...
