They both had ironing to do, Mrs Slovak and her. Mrs Slovak had a mountain ... far, far too much. It was a task so daunting she didn't know where to start. Then Mr VJ had an idea ... "go get your ironing, go get your iron - I'll cook us a barbeque, I'll open some wine. You two can iron in the warmth of the sun". They made it a party, they pressed and they steamed, they laughed and had fun, and now ... the ironing's all done!

I have never ironed in the garden, have taken it baby sitting in the past, never had the joy of ironing with a friend! I do iron watching a film though! I start when the film starts and finish when the film finishes unless I have beaten the film finishing the ironing first!

A wee glass of wine and some sunshine can make the most mundane task seem much nicer!

Marvelous. Sounds like a scene in a Merchant Ivory. film.

Seriously tho I never iron unless I am doing a lot of sewing.All ironable things are banned.But I did buy one of those steamers for my vintage clothes tho.
Love your little verse too very well done.xx
No ironing in this house mum says it's against her religion ha ha. Me = lazy!

if you have to iron , now thats the way to do it! x
It's the way forward, I think you've spawned a new trend......I've got a massive pile to do, I'll wait till reasonable o'clock and crack open a bottle and get on with it.
Tip top!

What a great idea, although I don't iron, the MR does his own work shirts, bliss. Did you have much interest in the Hudson sign, I love it.
Such a cool way to turn a very boring job into fun!
Have a lovely weekend!
