A load of balls and a "crackpot" idea

I have a friend who, like me, is into stones in a big way.

It just so happens that she is trying to clear some

room prior to the arrival of a new set of paws

and I am trying to fill some sadly not with paws

but with stones.

Look into my balls, I see .......

So, as you will see from the following photo's

that's exactly what's happened and I am now the proud

owner of some pre-owned balls both polished

to a high sheen and au naturel.

Probably fired at Waterloo!

The polished bad boys have taken up residence on

my kitchen window sill and have nearly managed

to completely blind me on a couple of occasions

when the sun has been streaming into my parlour from

a jaunty angle.

He's keeping an eye on it for me in case Mrs C appears.

As for a "crackpot" idea, the same splendid lady passed on to

me a rather broken garden planter which had belonged to

a mutual friend of ours and as I really hate to see

anything with potential doing nothing this is what

I decided to do with it.

What can I bodge up next?

Eat your heart out Mrs C - no you can't have it back!
