The Ironing Maid
Thomas Harrington Wilson
You might think that
with so much time at my disposal
the ironing basket would be empty.
You would be wrong.
Turns out I have an attitude problem.
I am trying to address this
by downloading audiobooks.
28 hours of Anthony Trollope
seems suitable punishment .

My particular ironing distraction is watching a Nigel Slater DVD - works every time.
ReplyDeleteThat's the huge difference between you and me. I must have music, how shallow of me.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Susan "lost" her iron and only found it weeks later in the china cupboard. She blames a hormonal imbalance. I now see it was a lack of Trollope.
ReplyDeleteI think you will want to continue to take the ironing at a slow pace. Anything too extreme might cause a reaction. ;-)
ReplyDelete...or you could skip the Trollope and go wrinkled. That's my method.
ReplyDeleteWe operate an "on demand" ironing system in our house. We hang up straight from the line / dryer / radiator and then only iron just before wearing if it still needs it - it is surprising how creases drop out and how few things need ironing. Try it! One-oh-four xx
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry - I have the same attitude problem. Haven't found a solution yet though.
ReplyDeleteI only do 'pressing' when dressmaking, never 'ironing'.
