    Actually I think it might be called totem tennis and I miss named it? It’s a pole you stick into the lawn with a tennis ball on a long string attached to the top on a spiral so it spins around when you hit it. You get a couple of bats with it and you can play solo or with two people.

      totem tennis

      ooh I see, had one of those as a kid too and there were fights :)

      I’m finding the cheapo manual auger I got ages ago has made doing clean holes in tough ground a lot easier. Surprisingly seems to be getting more and more use. Could be worth a thought.

        An auger 🤔 I feel like we’ve probably got one somewhere… or is it an awl I’m thinking of? I think I’m remembering we have an awl for making holes in leather etc. Geez, a couple of weeks with no work and I feel like my brain’s turning to mush lol 🚫💡
