Online blog example start:

There are some things in life we just need; there are some things we want and there are others that we have no idea why they become part of our lives.

Neighbours - we can't choose them, or at least most of us can't. Our neighbours are a right mix, from the lovely families that our children love playing with to the odd woman who tries to wind up anyone who appears on the street - there's no reason why they are in our lives but we have to deal with them.

So, at the weekend, my wife and family enjoyed time with diffrent neighbours but my time was very different. I ended up having a disagreement with another. How odd that such a mix of people come into our lives!
