Balls

silver ballsSilver balls.

Following on from my ignominious return home yesterday with the car on the back of a truck, I got carted off by the RAC again, this time into Sheffield to get the immobiliser fixed. …. £875 of fixed, and I won’t have it back until tomorrow.

So I wasted a day wandering around Sheffield waiting for them to decide what needed doing and give me the quote – this having been told I could expect the car back at 4pm.

    We have a strange silver ball sculpture thing in the middle of Exeter too …

    Yes (I think so), the expensive box under the bonnet, anyway.

    Maybe the silver balls are breeding.

    Nice use of the word “ignominious”.
