Origami Day 3

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 3 Comments

This is the third day of November's Challenge and it would appear we have lots of origami fans out there.

Firstly, Emma (a first dan origami master) at school has offered to teach me how to make a bird, but not just a bird, but a bird that flaps it's wings! I think maybe that will be Monday's piece of origami.

Secondly, my sister has caught the bug, an origami boat appeared on her blog today (I would post a link to her blog, but I'm not sure she is ready for that yet) – and it actually looked better than mine – I think she may also be a secret origami master.

And so on to today's attempt….found, thanks to Claire, using the new How to make origami app, I have pleasure in presenting….a pigeon.

Juneathon Day 2

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 3 Comments

Up reasonably early this morning considering we had attended the first night of the Bourne Festival and supped various local ales that I can’t actually remember the names of.

I also feel the need to consider the dignified pigeon I spotted on yesterday’s run. Having thought about it further, the said pigeon may have actually just flown into a tree and was just standing dazed as I ran pretty close to it and it just stood there, staring.

This morning’s run was a nice gentle 4ish miles around the town. I ran through the Wellhead, site of the beer festival, which was very peaceful this morning, no drunk teenagers or pools of vomit in sight! It will be very different come tonight – ‘The League of Mentalmen’ are playing!
