I didn't know she wrote a book. Fascinating. There's been a lot of eastern front stuff in my recent readings.

Wartime journal and post-war notes. Unknown yet if she intended for them to be published or just kept them for herself. Adds to the interest IMO.

I find her fascinating and only knew what the American press had to say... which is only part of the story.

Praise for the book includes:

Translated from the original Russian and based on her post-war notes and wartime diary, it is undoubtedly literature's most remarkable account of sniper action.
- Charles W. Sasser
former US Army special forces solder and author of One Shot-One Kill

Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the highest scoring female sniper to come out of the Red Army, provides an intimate portrayal of the struggles and obstacles Red Army combatants faced and overcame as the war of the Eastern Front unfolded. She not only proved herself on the field of battle, but also was one of the few Soviet citizens allowed to campaign for the war effort abroad and as such offers an additional, unique view of the west through a Soviet veteran's eyes.

I've read One Shot-One Kill. I've read about Lyudmila. I'd like to read her book. My grandmother was a Hell of a shot and in her youth would have been subject to take up arms as Lyudmila did to face an invader. Methinks, anyway.


Off to hit the rack.

Someone has to stick up for the patient.

Ms. Patient calls me in tears because her short term disability only was approved for 30 days instead of the 90days her federally protected leave approved. Her landlord threatens to evict. I call the insurance. Upon examination the agent and I discovered that everything that I sent a month ago was received except for page 1 which had the date of expected return to work. The examiner failed to notice page one was missing and merely based their decision off of a random date that did not answer the question of when to return to work. The agent had a giggle and it's going funny just a little clerical error. I replied sir this is recorded line so I'm glad that this is going to record what I have to say to you I'm sure that the clerical error is funny so you're laughing and the landlord is laughing and the only one who's not laughing is the woman about to lose her home. I'm going to resend this and you are going tell me you've received the information. I need to know this is getting fixed today. There was silence followed by a yes sir. I'll call the claimant now.

Fuck fuck fuck that guy.

It’s not like me but what a crap day that was. I guess I should have expected it the moment I saw the weather forecast. Of course the taxi driver who cut me up on the way to the Estate didn’t help! Why did his late day Licensed Taxi Driver…. Should read Licensed Dickhead!

Then the bloody weather yes the forecast was spot on….well nearly. It said it would rain and it did …a little, then a lot, then it pissed it down, then it really pissed it down. Then it turned to ice, then a blizzard, then it pissed it down again…five drives two layers of goretex and still wet to the knickers

I was wetter than an otters pocket and colder than an huskies balls…and miserable by the end of the day … but hey it was home time….except the van wouldn’t start….battery screwed! Typical French engineering you can’t get at it to attach jump leads…..what moron designs theses things?

Bump, started it with the help of a Keeper who towed me to the top of the hill!…great on my way to a warm house and hot meal.

Not a bloody chance the house was in darkness the power off for the last 12hours! That’s okay get the old gas barbecue out of the shed….dig out the old mice nest and connnect to the gas bottle…..except the pissing thing was empty.

Okay chip shop will do for a hot meal get there put my order through and the sodding power engineers walk in laughing and joking really….why aren’t you guys sorting out my sodding power outage? They didn’t stay to answer. Chipshop owner thought it was something he said….i didn’t say actually it was me; I wanted my supper.

Great fish and chips by the gas lantern…..pick up my knife and fork and the power comes on……really?

Aaah that feels better!

Jeez… not too much else coulda gone wrong. But glad power is back.

Sounds like… a day.
