As you will no doubt be aware, one of the most exciting things that can happen is if you are out mowing the lawn a bouncy ball is uncovered. No doubt it was once the property of a small child who shed a tear before going on with his/her life after accidentally throwing it the wrong side of the fence.
This unexpected treat then provides hours of fun and the mere anticipation of the possibility of finding such a treasure makes the gardening seem worthwhile as otherwise it would be one of the most unpleasant jobs going.
So get a load of this; Today I was out cutting the lawn and by the time I had finished I had uncovered the following bounty:
4 tennis balls
2 frisbees
1 mini football
1 mini rugby ball
1 stressball football
1 stressball basketball
1 rubber 'power' ball
As I am sure you can appreciate I am almost beside myself with joy and can barely contain myself. I thought this sort of day was just confined to dreams. My only problem is deciding what to play with first.
