What a day it is today.

I have come to my computer to add a blog for today and my mind is a complete blank.

Anything unusual about that? Yes! Definitely. My mind races most of the time and I have so much to do and so much done in my life to recall. It can't possibly be blank....

I have no real interest in telling you that today I am having a new garden fence put up. Along with a neighbour we decided to have all our adjoining fences replaced. We had a friend who 'knew somebody' so we let him give us a quote. Yes, the quote came and it was accepted but nothing seemed to be happening. My neighbour obviously got a bit fed up waiting and sought another quote, accepted it and had the work start.

I was a bit surprised when I didn't recognise the chap putting up the fences and when I told him what I thought would be nice he seemed surprised. It was then that I was informed that he wasn't the original bloke who had been employed. He also told me that he didn't have any instructions to do my fences, but, he said, he would give me a quote if I wanted.

I was in a good position to watch him work and I am impressed. He is a pro. So I approached him and asked him for a quote. My own son wanted to do it for me as he is on 'Gardening Leave' but I recognise that an Electrical Engineer with a good degree probably isn't as good at putting up fences as a good old fashioned pro Fence Erector. So my son won't have to worry, nor will we.

If anybody reading this has a vacancy for an Electrical engineer turned Sales Manager, let me know and I will tell my son.

That is the sort of stuff that I see in other peoples blogs. Not for me. Pah!

Am I in the wrong camp? Is this what I should be writing?

I discussed this with a friend yesterday, complaining about the mundane trash that some people write and he replied that they are 'real writers'. Real writers? I have to tell you that he is a person who wants to be recognised as a writer. Sure; he writes short stories and that entitles him to support blog writers - Heck!

Bye for today. Any comments, please post them.
