I've sorted mine into piles and have made a start. Pile 1 is my clothes, pile 2 the child's and pile 3 the household stuff, bedding, tea towels etc It's all in huge heaps on my bed which ensures that I must do it or I won't be able to climb in it to go to sleep tonight. Anty - don't you iron your jeans and trousers? What about your tops? Skirts? Dresses? Blouses?  |

Never wear dresses or skirts. I'm really quite butch |

I don't do fitted sheets but I do the duvet covers and pillow cases. Also the tea towels. Linen ones look awful if you don't. I don't iron bath towels but just fluff them up for 10 minutes in the drier. Ok, I can understand no skirts or dresses if you don't like them - but I've just ironed 4 pairs of jeans and 3 pairs of casual linen trousers. Also 7 t-shirt-type tops and a crisp white blouse. Just a week's wear really. You surely can't just wash those and put them straight on? ( I love dresses and skirts  |

Can't say that ironing plays a large part in my life. I seem to be blessed by possessing magical clothes that don't need ironing. Or that's what I tell myself anyway ... I don't stuff mushrooms either  |

Dode (who had a father who joined up at 17 in WW2, and was a very proud military man) won't leave the house unless everything visible is pressed.
Even if we're going hill-walking.

But Rohans never need ironing do they? And dead smart they look as well. A man sporting Rohans is a man well dressed I always think. |

Daniel Barenboim's Prom coincided with rain so torrential my front drive and rear patio are flooded! That has never happened before since I've lived here. It's still beating down at a fair rate of knots - the dog wouldn't go out in the garden for a "comfort break". He just gave me a very dirty look and slunk back into the kitchen.  |

Quite, Anty: though Dode tends to favour Crag-hoppers, which are much the same thing, and despite the fact that they don't need it is so deeply conditioned that he irons them anyway. 30 minutes across your average moor or up your average Munro, any vestige of a crease will have been long since battered out of existence, but he presses on regardless. So as to speak. He's the only person I know who keeps an electric iron in his rucksack: pretty pointless if you're camping overnight miles from the nearest three-pin plug, but he wouldn't dream of setting out on a journey without it. You might as well ask the Tay to flow up waterfalls as try to persuade him it's just not necessary.... |

Great day here. Band job today went really well. Just good weather all afternoon. Slightly windy but warm with it.

LOL I rarely iron anything these days. Crumpled but clean. Torrential downpour just now. I managed to mow the grass yesterday as the grass itself was dry but the ground was still audibly squelchy. |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

My personal motto, MJ. ZZzzzzz... Uh? Oh yes, weather. Am back on the south coast, briefly, and it's ok. No rain, mild but cloudy. But The Valleys beckon again soon, where I believe it's chucking it down. As has been the case for most of the last couple of weeks. |

A clean pair of trousers every day I don't iron anything - except new clothes which often have creases in them you can't get rid of. I don't wash anything either - I just throw the dirty ones away and buy new clothes, and then have to iron out the creases |
