The owner said it was in the garden when they got the house. They suspected it was meant to be an ornament.
They separated the two halves and the grandchildren played in it.
They'd got fed up with it - so it was stored on top of the
shed for a while.
But now it was for sale. No price just "make me an offer"
Even with our commitment to recycling, neither of us could see a use for two plastic domes 4 feet across!
I wonder if anyone did buy it...
What a very strange thing - like you I can't think of a use for it at all apart from a wheel for giant hamsters!
ReplyDeleteA hamster that big would be terrifying!
DeleteHow very odd! That'd be a very strange ornament and not the most useful toy. Was it a massive herb planter? I'm longing to know! Kxx
ReplyDeleteBut the holes are SO big, surely the earth would fall out?
DeleteMaybe it was a playhouse for some children.
ReplyDeleteThe holes are a bit too small for children to crawl through - it is a mystery
DeleteStill a mystery really, what on earth could it be for? I bet no one made an offer. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteIt has not reappeared on the top of the shed. Nor was it outside on dustbin-day...
DeleteAt least you now know it’s not a spaceship.The longer set of forceps arrived yesterday-we did indeed mix and match! Catriona
ReplyDeleteA true Mr&Mrs Spratt, complementing each other!
DeleteI cannot think what The Thing was for; bright pink would not be my first colour choice for a Large garden ornament!
ReplyDeleteA bizarre colour - rather garish for a garden
DeleteI think if it were spray painted bronze ( or any neutral color) it might be a fun outside feature with little plants growing out of it, tiny pots inserted in the holes. Otherwise spray painted yellow/orange as a sculpture named Cheesy.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a warped sense of humor. JanF
I like the Cheesy idea 🧀
DeleteMaybe a roll around inside toy for dogs?
ReplyDeleteThat's not a bad idea
DeleteThat's a very strange thing to keep in the back garden, glad you were able to look at it close quarters and tell us more about it.

It was intriguing
DeleteOh come on, there must be something you can do with two giant pink domes. That's the sort of thing I would go home with saying, "It'll come in useful!"
ReplyDeleteI couldn't work out where I'd put them!
