The yellow orb



It sits there. Staring. Luminous in its yellowness. Accusatory in feel. A recrimination for what’s not being done.

What is it? A lone tennis ball.

After our trip to the physiotherapy we ended up having to go along to a sports shop to buy a tennis ball. Now the Fox has to practice leaning against a wall, pressing the ball gently into his hip/upper leg area. It’s supposed to unknot muscles that are overworking to compensate for the ones that have gone on strike.

Buying tennis balls at our age, in our state of health, is about the last thing we expected, but still if it helps.
