The NOBLE art of......ironing or "repassage".....

I can't just stand by and listen to this ancient and noble art being maligned.
Personally, I like nothing better than a crispy piece of freshly ironed linen in my bed, on my body....I like feeling good.....What's with these modern, militant, masochistic females who have never felt the sensuality of fresh linen gliding down their hips,  who have never felt......GOOD!
 Don't they learn it any more at school? This noble art?
Just what do they learn in "Domestic Science" classes nowadays....do these arts exist anymore....they don't learn cooking, that's for sure, except how to order a doggy bag, open a microwave oven door (and still manage to burn it) ...don't ask me how, seems always to be the fault of the "equipment"

Everybody does - or should - do it..........everybody.........and once they've started, they love it.
And.....while I'm upsetting the thoroughly modern young millycents', how about sewing and darning......?Once upon a time it was a social event, nowadays the only social event is winging on Facebook about the price of new socks......darn the old ones.....!
Come on, womenfolk, if us fellows can do it - you letting us get away with the traditional lady leisure activities....?
and .....washing....? We can do it - you lot can't!  and that's why menfolk are looking so much more distinguished nowadays.....aaaah yes - the good old days, remember having a good natter down at the river......?
Now the natter is still there, on the telephone, us fellows are wandering around looking either very distinguished (in which case everybody knows we are Batchelors) or we're wandering around looking like tramps(in which case everybody knows we're happily married)
Where the devil is the "proud-of-hubby" thing....?......
I know - I can hear you all saying..." proud of WHAT"....!
Well - there are some who are STILL proud, and generally, their husbands can "bend 'em...."!
....Lucky lady.....!
All this is in your hands, ladies - start IRONING again......!



YOU'LL LOVE IT..........!

When London was a village (2)

One of London's 'Commons' Carrying on with my little series about London, a City but also very much a collection of villages which I enjoyed living in, working in, getting married in, and finally "'leavin'", I just wanted to touch on those places which London has so many of......'The Commons' - rather akin to Public Parks, but immense in size and in every 'village'.... A bit of their history is here: http://www.graftingardeners.co.uk/history-londons-commons/ and some are used by the well known  London Buses. Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...

One God's ideas sometimes work in with another one's.......! But the real philosophies are varied.... and there's always an easy way out or to avoid the issue!
