Let me give you a hint...
Its these silver balls suspended from string.
I won't be able to describe it properly so here an image...
I was watching an episode of Skins the other day and i saw the Newtons Cradle.
I did not know that it was called that before, i did not have the need to talk about a Newtons Cradle before so knowing what it was called is of no use...
Anyway i googled sliver balls on a string and out came the wikipedia page.
The only reason why i'm making such a big deal about it is that i used to play with one when i would go to my aunties house.
My mum's eldest sister, her husband has one.
I remember playing with it, it makes this click click sound when the balls hit one another. One time i even got the strings entangled. Got a scolding from my dad on that.
And it was my uncle that helped to straighten the strings out.
What makes me sad is that he is dead now. He died of cancer about a year back.
Its so funny how one memory of something reminds you so much of that person.
I can really feel for my aunt, even though i'm not too close to her, its just sad that her husband is no longer there.
I really can't stand any of my immediate family dying. Its just too depressing.
