I iron bed linen, not PJs though, I don't own any, I spent two hours ironing last night.

One questiom
WHY ?
Who the hell is going to see your bed linen??
MrsD would religiously iron eg handkerchiefs until I got her to see it really doesn't matter.....life really is too short.

I'm with you, I'll iron a shirt and pair of trousers if we're going somewhere posh and they look crinkly, otherwise I won't bother. Everything else dries neat enough to not bother.

Bed linen and pyjamas? Not in a million years

Morning all. Woken up with a headache so ibuprofen and coffee for breakfast.

Gloriously hot already, so think I'll sit on the garden bar with the doors open, and watch the hill climb from Shelsley Walsh.

Spent a good half hour last night watching bats in our garden. Very impressive and totally silent fliers

 

[numbnuts]

I iron everything, except towels as it flattens the piles

ps - Morning

Bonjour. Order of the day is: take Molly for a walk, fix greenhouse door, proper bike ride on my new one, my daily two jigsaw puzzles on laptop, take Molly to Angel Bay for a longer walk this afternoon and that's about it.
Blue sky and again today so I guess the beach will be packed . Good luck to them, I will settle to my garden.
Have a peaceful day everyone.

If wearing a jacket, do you just iron the front of the dirt and the cuff?

May I have a rant? Yes. Thank you. Tis safer in here. I know I've previously mentioned my displeasure and annoyance with MTBers. Apologies to present company.

Yesterday I spotted an MTBer in the distance on a dirt track road which would join the one we were walking on. Keep in mind we were so remote there was no traffic noise so it was hardly busy. We walked four abreast. About 200 metres beyond the track junction I heard a shout from close behind of "Can I get through" or similar. I realised the rider was right on top of us. I moved to my left towards the verge such as it was only to find the rider was coming by on the left. He suddenly swerved right at speed through the middle of our group clipping me on my right arm.

I really don't get these people. This is the closest incident I've had to being hit and it was bloody close. This isn't an isolated event, up here it happens with miserable frequency. Why not slow 30-40 metres away, call out and wait for the walkers to step aside? On gravel I ring my bell, say thank you, slow down and wait till folk hear me and often stop for walkers approaching.

There do seem to be some very special dickheads riding MTBs up here. Part of me wishes he'd hit me..... then he'd have a whole shoot load of trouble to deal with.

Sorry. Still angry now.

Once on a forestry track I came towards 5 wimmim walking in line abreast across the whole width. I was going towards them and obviously clearly visible but not one of them would move to let me through. I had to stop as there was not room to let me pass and not one of them spoke. There are bampots everywhere.

Behaviour like that seriously rips my knitting and I would find it extremely difficult to keep my mouth shut when passing them!

I used to find it amusing to greet peds when passing to see the reaction. City types tended to react with bemusement and in some cases what appeared to be terror that some stranger actually spoke to them.

"Rips my knitting". never heard that expression before.

On the subject of ironing, the only items that get ironed are my shirts. I cant abide shirt collars that look like a birds wing. They must be flat and stay flat
