Walking in the Shadows

Random musings from Warwickshire on life in general... Things that make me laugh, make me cry, things that wind me up beyond all endurance - and everything in between.

A new addiction.

Normally, I’m not a great one for so-called “geek toys”, but this time, I’ve been bitten by a bug. Or more precisely, a putty.

What am I talking about? Thinking Putty. I got the “bug” (ok putty) when one of my workmates told me about it, and made the bad mistake of passing over the tin… That was it. I was hooked. I sat at my desk, playing with the putty, and I felt like I was 5 years old again, and playing with Plasticine. Only this Plasticine was changing colour, ripping, tearing, snapping, popping and bouncing!

So, after I’d gently terrorised (and interrogated) my work mate I promptly went on line to the retailer concerned (Firebox.com) and ordered myself some… And waited very impatiently for it to arrive.

Well, it has arrived, and I freely admit being like a small child at Christmas today, as I have spent rather a lot of time playing with my putty. Admittedly I bought two versions – a colour changing putty and an illusion putty:

Thinking Putty - this is the colour change - Sunburst
 
 Illusion Thinking Putty  - Scarab (from the US website)

Ah well, guess I should call this quits – it’s nearly the end of my lunch break, and the putty is calling me….

Back later (putty permitting!)

Now some things you hold on to - and some you just let go
Seems like the ones that you can't have
Are the ones that you want most
