Couple of hours of the weekend left before bedtime. What to do with this precious time? Ah yes, the feckin ironing

Venison haunch this evening which I'd forgotten about in the freezer, made it with carrot and parsnip mash and a nice gravy which I finished with chocolate and lavender jelly.

Rice pudding to come just yet, have no idea if it is cooked all right as I put the oven on at the wrong setting

Couple of nice steaks (a la Raymond Blanc). Chips, mushrooms and a few peas. Nom

Seriously, what do people find that needs ironing? I think I've ironed about 3 things in the last 5 years.

Bedsheets.

I've got a Klan meeting on Wednesday and they're quite particuar.

Oh, alright then:
Shirts *5 - It's my one concession to professionalism.
t-shirts *5 - They will be given a cursory going over.
Trousers *3 - same shirt rationale.
2 Kids school uniforms *1 - that's just a matter of principle, they wouldn't notice.

Is that lot acceptable?

Big fry-up for dinner. Very, very full now

Hmm,

ms#5 (the only one still at school) wears M&S non-iron shirts.
School suit is nominally dry clean only, although I have stuck the trousers in the wash a couple of times.
Admittedly we did inherit a trouser press when ms#daddy (god rest his soul) snuffed it, so trousers do get uncrinkled without having to do ironing. Although I am old enough to remember sta-prest...

Mr ms does iron a shirt for his monthly visit to the top secret electricity place in Wokingham though.

If I hold my wine glass at just the right tilt, I can see the telly picture crystal clear.

I think this moment is called an epiphany.

Thing is with facebook, is to use the 'block' functionality. So when you see someone's crapville in your news feed, click the little thingy top right and say 'Hide all from crapville'. Once you've done the main culprits, it's a lot better.

Although I am getting an excessive number of these slightly nauseating 'thank you for being my friend' video thingies which don't seem to be blockable en masse.

Don't do it folks. Or if you do do it, just share it with the person you are thanking.

(ms in "I have no friends worth thanking" mode)
