Good drying day

I managed to achieve all that I set out to do today, and more. The grass has been cut, some weeding has been done, the summerhouse is ready for use, cleaning has begun on the patio and all the holiday laundry has been washed. Then I remembered that the iron stopped producing steam just before we went away and I need to buy a replacement. Easy enough I thought. A quick look online this evening and I'm no further forward. When did ironing become such a complicated, and expensive, business.
