Not car, not cloud, not cable.
Get those thinking caps on, chaps and chapesses!

No, not chimney, not cowpat.
I'll give you a clue.
As a general rule, a chimney would be physically closer than a cowpat.

No but I was tempted. Try again, now you're no longer earth-bound.

No. Think more cryptically. See my earlier comment.

OK as nobody has got it, I'll tell you.
Conductors. No, not the man on the train taking your money and issuing you a ticket, but those knobbly things on the top of the electricity poles - hence my obviously too subtle hint about
earth-bound.
You all owe me a coffee so let me know next time you're in Polemi at the Archangel Michael Hospice Charity shop.

Arrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!
I actually knew what they were called too. Years ago I set a cache. It was a multi stage cache, that started in the woods. There was an old telagraph pole, long since toppled over, and it's conductors were still visible. They had numbers on them, and to find the coordinates for the next part of the cache you needed those numbers. Anyway, I didn't know what the knobbly things were, so did some research on the internet. It let me to the most British website I have ever found:

Would you like me to post another picture so you can have another go, or have you had enough?

It appears to be suffering from brewer's droop. Must be the all the rain. I have prodded it upright with a broom handle. Later when it is dry I will do something a bit more permanent.

In Greek:" Exi misi " (six and a half)

It is more likely the wind, as it happened also in the past, without having rain

I doubt it. There hasn't been any wind here for a few days, and its peeing down with rain. Anyway, the temp fix has worked, if you care to check.
