Tell me what I’m looking at
The thing above is a transformer, I guess. Above that (not pictured) are three insulators with wires. But I’m interested in the thing in the middle – the X shape with the ring in the center. It’s made of metal. If it’s ornamental, it isn’t very and if it’s functional, I can’t think what the function is. Structural? Like, bracing?
As I was typing this, a squirrel climbed down our cobnut tree and began pinching cobnuts. We do not – and I can’t emphasize this enough – have squirrels in this part of Sussex. I’ve seen them in other, more wooded parts (mostly squashed in the road), but we’re an area of rolling sheep fields and a few scraggly thorn trees. We do NOT have squirrels.
Cheeky bastard. Now we know where our nuts went this year.
