Who would have thought it?

I have always hated ironing. Hated it! Not that I ever did more than half of the 'family' ironing while I was working; couldn't understand women who talked about 'my ironing' when the pile included garments for other members of the family! A bit like men who think they can 'babysit' their own children! Odd!

However .....!

Now I've retired and periods of time are available between yoga, swimming, reading, meditating, learning about architecture, practising my long notes, meeting with friends, facebooking and blipping .... in those spaces, I really don't mind ironing; even the occasional torture of the shirt!

The essence of the fulfilled life .... surprise!
