Seems I just can't find the time to write a decent post these, days - so I have opted for another scintillating..
"What Is It?"
First the clue -- this item immediately reminded me of some words in a famous Bette Midler song; the words actually, partially, describe what this item is used for:
Sorry, it's a little out of focus, but I think you'll get the picture quite clearly.
Now is the time for all you lurkers to come out of hiding and take a guess!
The answer will come in a few days.
Sorry, but I'm absolutely no good at this. I keep thinking. Did you catch that I spelled Snowdon wrong on my blog. Shame on me!
ReplyDeleteI got it! I got it! It is not a prosthetic limb for an octopus or a wheel clamp or a set of hair rollers or a modern bicycle wheel or a food mixer control. All of which passed through my mind, well maybe not the octopus really.
ReplyDeleteI use one of these things too but I won’t say what it is yet in order to give some of the Lurkers a chance. They are really handy for one of our shared interests.
Oh, ChrisJ --you can do it! The clues from me and snafu will help you!
ReplyDeleteSnafu -- you are right! It is a.....wheel clamp!
Just kidding; we'll wait a while and see if anyone else will play this game of "I spy, with my little eye..."
Oh dear, it looks so familiar, but...no, sorry. My first thought was a typewriter wheelie thingummy bob, but no, I think not! x
ReplyDeleteSorry Elizabeth, it's not a thingummy bob -- it is binoculars!
ReplyDeleteChrisJ and Snafu and I all use them for one of our favourite pursuits -- bird watching! The clue from the Bette Midler song is "..from a distance...God is watching us." Well, He's not really 'cause the Bible says He's closer to us than our very breath -- but I thought it was a great clue. I can see I will have to do better next time!
NEVER would have guessed it, Kay.
ReplyDeleteGosh, its so familiar now that you've told us!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know the Bette Midler connection 'though.x
