T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having to endure this but perhaps now they'll change their mind about their beloved leader, I haven't, I still dispise the abomination of a human being if you can call him human. In America Trump at one of his election rallies was met with empty seats what a come down for the once all powerful Putin puppet and ex-president things are not looking so good for his chances to be president again. Well that's all for this shorter than usual blog so if you enjoyed reading it then like, follow and share. Thank you.

Purpose

Do we all have a purpose in life or are we just born to go down which ever path life takes us? The reason this is the topic today is that as I look around and at the world and try to annalize it but I can't find an answer. Throughout history people have existed for a purpose good or bad, who determines what their purpose to exist is, some say it's God's will, but what does that mean? Did Hitler for instance exist just for the purpose of starting WW11 and the persecution of the Jews, was Putin born for the sole purpose to exist and maybe start WW111, who actually knows, I for one don't know but it starts me thinking about what was I born for, what is my purpose in life, why am I still existing, is there a purpose? Is there anybody out there that thinks the same way as me because it really makes my head hurt thinking about it, after all that I've done wrong in my life was it my purpose to come to Croatia and risk everything just for an ideal or is that what I exist fo...

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...

Seventh installment, sorry it's a bit late but its hard to write what I wrote and remember.

The next day it was awfully quiet, the calm before the storm perhaps, nothing much for breakfast so we decided to try and lay the land line. So off we went house to house laying the wire behind us and then the mortars started again so we hit the ground, lying down was the safest if caught outside, there were pieces of shrapnel hitting the wall near to us and it was not a very safe place to be so we decided to make a run for it, that was the quickest I had ran in a long time, it is amazing how fast your legs move when you're life is at risk, "that was a nice little bit of exercise" Eric said laughing, "yes but it would have been better if we weren't dodging pieces of metal" I replied also laughing.  Everyone was there apart from those on guard duty and during the night it had changed from two to three, so I sat down on the bar stool and Eric went behind the counter looking for something to eat and all of a sudden bang and I fell off the stool, they all came t...
