Not much - but I nearly missed it.

A Car battery on STILTS.

Took gaffer to "Doc's" for the regular "INR" ... came out to find battery giving a fair impression of a pancake. Strike that, it was more like a crêpe inasmuch as it was so flat you could probably read a paper through it.
Summoned the R.A.C.
Turned out he was a "Marraslavian" (i.e. he was from West Cumbria {Said he'd started saying Whitehaven coz nobody had heard of Frizington})
Anyway after threatening it with an electronic gadget he declared it Deceased and fitted a new one; he was gobsmacked to find he carried one. Correct on two dimensions, but not height.
Apparently they make the same A hr size in 2 heights & to make it fit he had to issue a pair of stilts.
What's even worserer - from a Blip point of view - Camera had accidentally slipped to video mode, so I had to trim the 1 second shot to one frame.
And this is it.

Afterthought.
I'm not going to get this again, it's starting to "go over" (now) so slipped it in on day actually taken  -  for the Record.
About one flower every year comes up like this, and reminds me of an antediluvian joke about "The Hammer of the Scots" - Punchline ...
"Go back My Lord, There's TWO of them!"

Next new battery.
