Anyone lost a football?
Because one has been sitting on the edge of the lawn, just outside my bedroom window, for several days now. Now the gardens here are not closed off, so if a kid had accidentally kicked it in here from the road, it would be easy enough to come in and retrieve it. If a visiting kid had been playing in the garden, why leave the ball there?
Written on the ball with a marker pen is Denbigh School. This school, I find, is in Milton Keynes, hundreds of miles from here...
I have a vision of a game on the school football pitch - a last ditch clearance boots the ball into the long grass, but despite much searching the players cannot find it...
...because it has teleported itself down here!
Well, there's probably a more mundane explanation, but the teleportation idea keeps me amused!
