I have in the past experimented with black and white and colour accents, notably this one below in yellow. On looking at this again I experienced a very minor spasm of sorrow and regret when I remembered I have since broken that yellow plate, of which I was most fond. (Any of my real world acquaintance who shake their heads uncomprehendingly when I try to explain how and why I blog with the well-worn 'haven't you got anything better to do?'-type response would, on reading this, have all their assumptions confirmed.)
I invite other blogging folk with nothing better to do to share their washing up on-line. Dishwasher users need not fell excluded, simply snap a picture of your crocks in all their steaming glory as they emerge from the interior of the Miele, and post it.

Changing the subject completely, a pleasing idea occurred to me recently: if high powered, long nosed, thrusting sports cars are, as is popularly attested, penis extensions for the men driving them, then those over-capacious, globular, blunt-nosed people-carriers driven with such serene obliviousness and containing usually no more than one or two cosseted and protected infants must surely, but surely, likewise be womb extensions for their female drivers?

Yes I do think you are peculiar to post the contents of your kitchen and I can only say that I am relieved, since I did exactly the same only this afternoon..
You have a much more colorful washing-up than I do.
I never considered the vans as female extensions, but that rings of truth.
I have a small, snug car. Not sure what that means...
I have 2 photographer friends ( who are not bloggers, I add) but I think they'll be fascinated by these pictures.
It's as in all art forms: the "ordinary" is often the most "telling"
Good to call in and see you again.
Thank you loyal appreciators of the banal!
I only wish my washing up looked that good :) Yet again, you manage to transform the ordinary into the beautiful. And yes, I suspect you're absolutely right about the feminine nature of big, safe womby cars.
Here are my dishes. :-)
i love to see images of real-life domesticity...and these are charmers.
Your musings on the Freudian interpretations of car choices makes me laugh...and think...Out West (in the true Wild, Wild West of the U.S.) it is said the larger the pickup truck, the smaller the endowment.
And then I wonder further:
Why, is it that (here in the states) those horrible awful environment eating Hummers are purchased and driven mostly by women?? i suppose it's something about Power...and was terribly discouraged when i heard that news. i have always attributed a greater moral center to our gender...very much mistakenly as it turns out.
oops
i didn't mean to be anonymous
i'm zephyr
only Blogger doesn't want me to use that moniker anymore
and i haven't got time to update the blogger profile yet...pooh
