Yes, you read it correctly the first time. Someone has linked to my blog via a googlesearch for origami pianos. I I wonder if they changed their minds after reading it and switched to elephants instead. Despite my warnings, (I did the Xmas post as a student and know all about tiddly envelopes that jam machines) Ms Miffy intends to mail her miniature pachyderms to various friends. Let's hope that they appreciate the effort put into the making of them.
My initial reaction on finding details of a chocolate themed retreat package for women in the Church Times yesterday was to check to see if April Fool's day had arrived early. I'll dig the link out later. Whatever will they come up with next?
Splashed out £1.99 on a new torch today to replace the one that fell apart en route to work. We may be springing forward an hour tonight, with all the advantages that brings with lighter evenings etc, but it does mean that my dawn starts are going to be even darker for a while. Incidentally, I used a pedometer for a couple of days this week, and found out that on your average day I walk around 8 miles! Really! No expensive gym membership needed for this Miffy! And knickers to those miserable so-and-sos at school years ago and their doom mongering at my lack of aptitude at games. (Read - unhealthy dislike at the prospect of spending hours each week in sub zero temperatures on a muddy field chasing a hard, spherical object around with what looked like a fishing net on a stick). On the other hand I suppose all those icy afternoons probably taught me fortitude and sticking power; qualities that certainly stand you in good stead of a morning. Though my school being what it was, I suspect they'd have preferred their old girls to harness those qualities for rather more worthy ends. Like running the empire. Ah well. Too late now.
