Trying origami

Cccold this morning! Wrapped up to take out Fletch for his walk ( He doesnt seem to notice the  cold)
A quick trip  to the Coop for the basics.. milk, Hunters chicken ,  mushrooms  and wine (ahem)
So, having an afternoon ahead of me I decided to attempt the paper folding that was part of this months EDPS project. I was.. rubbish. After some searching I found the 'How to " on making a paper crane. 
Many moons ago as a student I used to  make these paper birds very easily.. .. My party piece.. I even knew how to make them so that if you pulled the tail the wings would flap. Sadly, that skill has gone. I seem to be all thumbs. Still it helped to pass the time  ( oh is this what its come to? )
I then had the challenge of photographing them.. but white on white isnt easy.. ah well, back to the drawing  board .. so to speak.

A special 'clap' at 8pm.. for everyone, but especially to Captain Tom.. What a lovely man. I hope he has many more years. 
By coincidence it would have been my dads 100th  birthday today too.
I say clap but a lot of us are banging our pans and cheering, accompanied  by the ships fog horns and shooters going off in the  nearby docks.
I wish this was all over but I'm resigned to the fact this is going to be a while . As always I'm grateful to everyone who is out there helping the rest of us   in what ever capacity 
May everyone stay safe and well.
Take care xx
