Hi, David! How ’bout an iron, taken from the top?
Nailed it in one, Pat! It’s a steam iron!
– David McMahon
Shoot, Pat beat me! I knew it was an iron from the thumbnail.
Don’t go anywhere, Rachel – there are (fun) follow-up questions coming. Just about to post one!
– David McMahon
Shoot, every woman knows this look! Nice color.
Isn’t it a great colour, Kay. The soft light was natural afternoon tones – taken about a fortnight ago. See if you can solve the follow-up question!
– David McMahon
Sounds like Phyllis Diller or Rosanne Barr. Domestic goddesses, both.
Bingo – Phyllis Diller is right! On more follow-up question coming … stay tuned for a bit of fun.
– David McMahon
Wasn’t that Robert Downy Jr. Maybe he’d do my ironing.
It certainly was Robert Downey Jr, Kay. He’s on his way now to do your ironing, I am reliably informed! Updating this with a link to you now.
– David McMahon
follow up #2.. was it Who Framed Roger Rabbit???
No rabbits, just brothers … ahem. Hint ….
– David McMahon
Biloxi Blues! wow, havent seen that for ages!!!!
That’s the one!! Well solved, Linda. I must go back to posting these “mystery images” every weekend once more. Just updating this with a link to you ….
– David McMahon
I saw the thumbnail said “it looks like an iron”… out loud but to no-one in particular…. but see that it was solved already, heh… Congratulatiosn Pat for guessing it and to Kay for answering BOTH follow up questions! :-D I would not have known the answer to either :-)
Next time, I’ll let you know in advance before I post one!
– David McMahon
Bugger too late David !!
Never too late, Colin. I used to do these regularly, every weekend, but will resume the practice!
– David McMahon

Chuckling, Neil! I hope you weren’t ironing “bored”!
