my REAL wall - Elena invades the fridge, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

Before me and Elena met, some of my friends were very sceptical about the concept of my REAL wall. My brother even said "But what about if you meet a girl who uses facebook and she insists on you being on facebook? No girls will ever go out with you if you keep this silliness up!"

Me and Elena celebrated 7 months together last week and with every passing day I find she gets more enchanting.

As if to prove the doubters and my brother wrong, she is one of the few in the world who doesn't have a facebook or twitter account. When she found out about my REAL wall, far from being repelled, she went and opened a postcrossing account and got hooked, and now she's taken up Origami and quilling, which is an art that involves curling paper strips. Her very first quilled card is featured in the middle of this REAL wall.

This REAL wall is an Elena invasion and features only postcards sent to her on postcrossing, but on my fridge. The cheek of it! She loves it when she gets stuff addressed to her that comes in my postbox so do feel free to send her stuff via me, and she will gleefully laugh in my face about it.

Very soon, some of you who have sent me post may well be receiving some quilled cards or some origami, so keep your eyes on your postbox!

My REAL girlfriend has been amassing a rival collection to mine that has been steadily growing larger and here they all are on her REAL wall just above her bed in Clapham.

My girlfriend has taken up Origami in a big way lately. She knows that there's nothing I love more than when the internet and REAL life come together, and she also has to put up with me going on and on about how much I love Gmail, so she decided to send me a REAL Gmail that she made herself.

We have had a mouse problem in our house lately, but no bodies have appeared lately in the moustrap.

Elena and me check every morning, but it's been about a month since we saw anything, so Elena made me a mouse out of paper, which I dropped in to the trap for my own sadistic amusement.

I got this by email from Elena, my girlfriend last Wednesday. I had no idea she had been so cunning as to get me to take a profile pic with her in order to beat me at my own game! She even came over and took a calendar man! She's good! Yikes!
