Day 2 (and 3, incidently)

So the first thing I need to point out is that the box lies. It is not 365 days of origami. On weekends, they provide an activity which is meant to span two days instead of one.
Back to the story. I embarked on the second day of my journey: the dog's head. I was going in with a mild handicap. Having only just got home from Christmas break, the house was very cold and the heating hadnt had much of a chance to make a dent in the freezing ice box that is my house (on top of which it was snowing outside). My hands were therefore very cold and possibly a little numb. now in normal circumstances I am not the most dextrous person in the world so if we add cold into the mix things can't go well.
The dog's head is suprisingly simple (it only took me two goes instead of three). The most difficult bit was working out which way round I was supposed to hold things (I think the instructions get less detailed as the days go on and you (supposedly) get more comfortable with origami).
It was only once my dog's head was completed that I discovered that I had accidently also done tomorrow's origami. I feel a little cheated.
