Look at the people not looking at us. How many people went by without so much as a glance sideways. Did they watch from across the square? Were they embarrassed at the sight of two oldies playing with large cold stone balls? Did they wonder what we were up to? Did they speed up on their bikes – so they didn’t have to consider properly what they were seeing? Do they wear blinkers here in Haarlem?

The white ball warmer did fit the Haarlem ball well and it was clearly too large for the Maastricht Ball that we tried it on on Wednesday. So I do know for certain now that this ball here in Haarlem is 160cm round.

The black ball cover is not finished yet, but as Best Beloved said it was still at an embryonic stage.

We will need to install these two in daylight because our little camera and the poor light will make it impossible to see the black ball warmer when it is done if we repeated this at night in the Grote Markt.

When these are done and dusted – installed they will be the Black & White Ball Show
