your starter for one million points is this mystery object
it was a prototype or pattern for a casting
i found it thrown on a tip outside a junk shop in melksham about thirty years ago
there was a mechanical engineering company with a foundry in the town named spencer's that had recently closed
any suggestions as to the form and function of the finished component ?

three more beautiful things
The young foxes have grown. One rolls on its back on the grass beneath the trees and street lights in the early hours, circled warily by another. A third arrives suddenly and runs through their invisible circle in a straight line.
In Eric Rohmer’s film, Ma Nuit Chez Maude, two people quite suddenly ensnared by the idea of love, talk urgently on a hillside, oblivious to the fantastic view behind them of snow falling on the city of Clermont.
Walking along a dry path in the wood at night, one hears a soft slow crescendo of summer rain approaching through the trees.
