Day 4…

 

So far so good… life carries on with normal and abnormal daily activities but I am managing to find half an hour in which to sit looking partly at my keyboard and screen but, truth be told, probably more at the wonderful vista from my window! (See attached photo).  Of course, the wonderful thing about this scene is that it is constantly changing. The tide comes in and the tide goes out; the boats (four at present) turn on their anchors; the waves break or ripple – well, never quite a ripple – and the sandbars hide and become exposed.  Currently there are no yachts, pesky jet-skis, paddle boarders or kayakers in sight but that is probably because the sun is just peeping through an ominously grey sky. Actually, I tell a lie – I can see one lone paddle-boarder in the distant break at the mouth of the estuary.

View from my desk.

But, enough of that.. (are you envious??) back to blogging…

The third point in my “Stuff” article is that I need a large “following” (as in 10,000) before I’m likely to make any money… oh gosh… !! Well, I won’t let that deter me… Jesus started his ministry with just one “follower” too and now look at his following!! And I guess all bloggers with a large number of “followers” all began with just one friend!

So I’m thinking that blogging as a blogging topic is really not that inspiring so I will shortly diverse and see what happens.

And on a slightly different vein … I mentioned a couple of days ago (or was it only yesterday?) that I was going to try my hand at making money from competitions or similar websites. Yep, you can guess where that led me!! Links into daily deals… at least half a dozen of them! Not quite what I was looking for but I have entered competitions to win a car, a holiday and… mmmmm…. I forget the others.  I am not holding my breath and selling my current vehicle! I have also unsubscribed to several of those deals as, if I really want to buy something online, it is so easy to tap back into them without being inundated with “buy me…. you need me… a deal you can’t resist…” daily!

So, until tomorrow…
