Poor old piano. On closer inspection it's obviously been exposed to the elements for a long time. How stupid of the owners to expect someone to want it.  The wood's all warped and the keys I pressed made no sound. It's fit only for the dump.  |

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

Well, I don't know, I'm doing well at the gym but I came home and went to weigh myself and can I find my scales?   |

Milly will be glad to know I've raised my standards and actually ironed a duvet cover. It came by mail order and was very creased, so I had to, really. A duvet cover's an easy shape to iron, I suppose, but there's a lot of it. I'm not sure the end result is perfect, but it will have to do. I feel quite smug about having done it at all.

I've just noticed you've moved into quadruple figures, Mary ... Congratulations! Congratulations on the ironing too.  I agree it's a very satisfying thing to do, it's just not one I get round to very often. |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Milly  When was the last time a man asked you "Does my bum look big in this?" Hmm? I`m waiting ....... Still waiting ......... Have just read War and Peace. Twice. Still waiting ........ Ok, can`t hold my breath any longer. Just send your answer on a postcard. |

I agree it's a very satisfying thing to do, it's just not one I get round to very often. So I have! I didn't notice. Ironing was pretty boring. I did it to Verklärte Nacht. I expect somewhere there's a CD called "Music to Iron to". |

 The Sport of Extreme Ironing (for those for whom ironing their sheets, pillow covers and duvet cover every single day isn't quite enough.) |

Sad sight on the pavement in Poynton, Cheshire - a lone piano in the rain, with a sign saying FREE on it. It's on the Woodford road, a couple of hundred yards from the station if anyone wants to rescue it! nternational Piano Rescue is listening! Thunderbuckets are GO! |

Milly, Back, sac and crack is, I believe the name of the procedure. Cripes! I`m glad I`m not a chap (there is no suitable emoticon to use here. Can we have an Ouch one please, John?) I have a horrible feeling that I`m going to get into trouble here. Gulp. |
