Macro Monday – fiendish!
Posted on July 25, 2011 in Oddities, The Home Front by Jay13 Comments »

Or so I’m told!

Sorry this Macro Monday offering is so late. I spent the day yesterday at a dog show, and then conversing with Italian friends on Skype, and this morning New Dog had to go to the vet for a bandage change and get his mouth looked at. So here I am, back home and with time to sit and write, and I bring you something fiendish. Well, there you go. Tee hee.

Take a look at the picture. It’s something from my own kitchen, and it gets used quite a lot, though not so often by me. Of it’s type it’s quite a nice one, but .. well, I prefer to watch someone else using it than to do so myself. It’s not so much my kind of thing, you know?

Will everyone have one? Probably not – there are other ways to manage. But many – if not most – households will have at least one, and it should be a familiar object to pretty much all of you.

And talking of pretty, it kind of is, isn’t it? Even I can appreciate that!

Leave your answers in the comments, and I’ll be back tomorrow evening (that’s Tuesday, UK time) to let you know the answer. As usual it will be added to the bottom of this post in the form of a picture link, and as usual, I won’t answer comments unless necessary, for fear of giving away the answer to latecomers.

Have fun! And then why not pop over to Lisa’s Chaos for more restful versions of this fun meme?

 

Ah, well. Not so fiendish as OH thought, then!  Most of you got very, very close to the correct answer, and I would be churlish indeed not to accept those answers.  Sistertex was the first with the pretty-close-to-correct’ answer, so she gets the honours this week (no, Jay does not like doing the dishes) but Babs of Beetle Blog deserves an honourable mention for getting the closest to the truth of what this actually contains.

Go here for the answer!  It won’t be a huge surprise to most of you.  Well done, all of you who guessed almost-correctly!  I’ll see you next week, and beware!  I really am going to try to fox you with a doozy!  MWAHAHAHA!!

    Fiendish definitely! Soap bubbles, taps. Is it a dish mop?

    A bottle of some sort of soap…perhaps dish soap? Jay does not like doing the dishes?? ;)

    Hugs to you and scritches to the hounds.

    My guess is a soap dispenser!

  4. on 25 Jul 2011 at 2:01 pm4grannygrimble

    Obviously some sort of soap dispenser, with taps in the backgrond. The taps don’t look like the shiny taps that you would find in a modern kitchen though, more like internaL workings of a dishwasher or the like. I will give it more thought and hopefully come up with,or not, a better answer.

    I’m going to take a stab in the dark here and say that it looks like it’s in an under sink cupboard to me. Trying to think of the more nasty jobs in a kitchen, I’ll take an even larger step in the dark and say that I think it’s some kind of window cleaning liquid or oven cleaner spray.

    What a GREAT photo, Jay!

    Okay….I’m gonna guess a Froth Maker?

    Can’t wait to find out what it is!!!

    Have a FAB day, dear lady!

    Washing up liquid!

    I don’t think I’ve got one but it looks like a soap dispenser to me too, or dishwashing liquid, something along those lines.

    Are you going to tell us about the dog show? I hope Ranger is OK.

    i think you are using a glass or bottle scrubber trying to get stuff stuck to the sides off of the sides….whatever it is, you certainly have given us a fab shot of it. the mixture of colors is scrumptious. yep, i would say this photo is very, very pretty. so glad to meet you today…hope you have a lovely week. genie

    I’m going with the soap dispenser theory. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t fiendish, indeed!

    Hand soap in a pump?

    Hand soap, or dish soap in a pump container. I’m sure someone would appreciate your help with the dishes. :)

    Granny Grimble – A dishwasher!! Mmm .. no. Just pretend antique. LOL! Pretty creative guess though!

    Babs – Not an under-sink cupboard .. but good guess!!

    Ron – Haha! Well, you can always be relied upon to brighten up the comments section! Thanks for popping round. :)

    Greyhounds CAN Sit – Yes, I will do a post on the dog show at some point, I think!

    Genie – Thanks! I thought it was pretty, and your answer is inventive!

    Lisa’s Chaos – But I’m looking for help myself! LOL!
