THTH

To hot to handle, great song but that's not what this blog is about, the temperature here now is 25 and set again to rise to 39 degrees, that's what I mean by too hot to handle. How can you sleep when it's 25 degrees, I have great difficulty, try tablets, no effect, just tossing and turning all night, if you do manage to start to drop off enemy number 1 mosquitos start buzzing around your head so you wake up again. Eventually you do manage to go to sleep but then wake up early because it's too hot and your either thirsty or have to use the loo, you don't feel like eating and especially cooking as it makes the kitchen hotter, water which I drink a lot of is always in the fridge to keep it cold. When the temperature reaches it's max mid-afternoon and you have to use the car to go somewhere the door is so hot it's hard to get into the car and when you do it's like a sauna and have too wait until the air conditian kicks in so you can touch the steering wheel, absolutely terrible. During the afternoon there's nobody outside and hardly any cars on the road it's just too hot. The weather in the UK is what they call a heatwave but their temperature is the same as ours during the night so how can that be a heatwave? It's not only here in Croatia but also in Italy and Greece, great for the tourist industry if the tourists can handle the heat but the not so good for the people who have to cater for their needs. How can people work outdoors in this tempature, it must be hell but they have to do it to put food on the table for their families, I feel sorry for them working under the scorching sun. There is only one reason for these extreme tempatures and that's global warming no other explanation except aliens who are making it this hot so that they can collanise Earth, hmm. Well that's all for today as as usual I have to make coffee for my wife before work, just hope that it gets a little cooler sooner than later. If you enjoyed todays blog and and are feeling cool 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...

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

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...
