Over halfway through November's Challenge and it feels like I have been creating paper stuff for months. I'm also very aware that a blog post about a piece of paper folded up a ridiculous amount of times to create something that may or may not look like what it is supposed to look like may be beginning to get slightly tedious. So today's blog is being expanded into, to quote the blog's tagline, 'general wonderings'.
Firstly, let me get the whole origami thing out the way. Been creating a lot of animals lately so how about another box…..only 23 steps, but classed as 'difficult'….a starbox….#17….
The day started off with a run around Bourne Woods with the dog, left at about 9am, it felt pretty mild out for a November morning. I was ready for a lovely muddy run on the trails – and that was exactly what I got. At one point it was so muddy that the dog had to stop to check I was going to follow him. Came back caked in mud, trainers are on radiator to dry out, me thinks same again in the morning.
After a shower I had a walk into town to visit the Post Office to send a parcel. That was an experience. What is it with people that go to the Post Office? The people behind the counter are slow enough, but the people going up to the counter are worse. They go to the window with what seems like a letter to post and end up filling in a form, asking endless questions, counting money, paying by card, and then you hear them say “just one more thing my love”…..argh! I needed a visit to Costa just to relax…..
This evening I donned my wellies for a short stroll around Elsea Woods before it got to dark. I was greeted with a lovely early evening sky…..
For the rest of the evening I will be avoiding 'Strictly Come Dancing' and eating beef!

Love the box. You should make everyone one for Christmas and fill it with sweets…a fabulous homemade present!
Can I defend people who go to the Post Office….as someone who goes to the Post Office most days I am one of those annoying people who chats to the counter ladies regardless of how busy the queue is! In fact, in our local Post Office, we’re on first name terms (Pam, Helen and Jill are lovely) and they even leave their posts to come around in front of the bulletproof glass to say hello to baby Grace in her buggy! The Post Office is THE place to be….you just gotta know the drill! Oh, and have a bit of time on your hands…..!
