Work

Well I suppose every one knows what that is, it's something you have to do five days a week and get paid for it, as in yesterday's blog my wife and daughter went back to work after their holidays and the house was empty apart from our dogs, it was a bit different to say the least after two weeks with them home but all holidays come to an end and now it's back to working for a living. What do you think if someone stays at home while everyone else goes to work as I do because I receive a pension do you class housework which is normally done by the wife as work or a job, I class it as both now that I have to do it everyday apart from Sunday. A lot of people people ask me what I do and I reply housework and then they laugh, ok if they think it's funny but I don't, now I know what has to be done every day to keep the household shipshape and it's not that easy and I now know what it is like being a housewife so I class what I do every day as a job. Let people laugh but I know it has to be done so when my wife and daughter return home then they can eat a hot meal and then relax which is only fair as they with their wages put food on the table and I pay that bills, 50/50 that's why our marriage is still going strong, it's a relationship of give and take, ok maybe I do spend some of my pension on things that I enjoy and almost always have a small amount left over for emergencies or buying wood for the Winter or a bottle of gas for cooking, there is always something that crops up unexpectedly every month so I almost always have a little in reserve. Well that's all for now on the subject as they've gone to work and my Job starts. If you enjoyed today's 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...
