Normal is......

I am often accused of being "off with the fairy's", but in my defence, I feel that I am much misunderstood.  
Recently, when buying my new camera, the salesman asked me what I used a camera for, "what did I take pictures of?"
" I have a blog, and I take pictures for it" I replied
He looked at me in disbelief, and gave me a look that I mistook for the look that some people give you when you say you have a blog.
"So do you take photo's just outside"? he asked smirking and trying not to laugh.
"No, inside and outside" I replied 
"And what do you do with the photo's ?" he asked - his eyes wide open with disbelief
"Put them on the internet" said I.
His eyes widened, then the penny dropped.  "Oh, a blog! " he said.  "I thought you said you took photos for your LOG!"


 For heavens sake - he had mistaken me for the wacko that used to appear on Twin Peaks!!
 And for a while we had a normal conversation.
 "But I sometimes do take photo's of logs" I added looking him straight in the eye, "And I put them on the internet"

And there it was - that look again on his face.

Oh, how funny! I remember the log lady! I read this post earlier before we went out and told Paul the tale as we walked in the woods - where there were lots of logs just waiting to be photographed!:)
