I’m with you Catrin, ironing was what poor Dobby did to his hands to punish himself.
My ironing board sits unloved, unused and rusting behind the utility room door. I do use the iron, constantly, as a door stop.

Ooh yes, I’d forgotten that; you have a brilliant memory. Dobby is a lesson to us all. It’s not for nothing that Iron Maidens were invented.

Oh, hello Swampy, Glad you managed to tear yourself away from the ironing board.

To be fair, from what I remember, it was quite a calming thing to do, until you caught your hand on the hot edge and ended up screaming round the kitchen like a Wailing Banshee with a third degree burn.

You said you were in a swamp trench this morning. And you said you were in the swamp yesterday. This swamp is very wet and ironing in it is a silly thing to do. My electrician nephew told me that electrickery and water are not good friends.
Just saying.

Oh God I know that feeling. 11 weeks for me as well. If only I could see his dear face again, to feel his arms, to hear his voice. So sudden, never said goodbye. I’m just existing

Ironing board and iron gone to charity shop. Iron hardly used. Norman used to iron his white shirts for his Masonic meetings but that was it.

Morning Dot, last year I had to have a operation for vulva cancer and 30 rounds off radio therapy. I am now on 6 monthly check ups and will be for the next 5 years. And if after that i keep getting the all clear i will be discharged.
Sorry you are also feeling down. This journey is awful, I talk constantly to Gra someone out loud sometimes just in my head.
Sending you hugs and hope today you are feeling just a little better. Jo xxx

Really sorry to hear that, Jo. No wonder you get down in the dumps. Life just isn’t fair. I have got everything crossed for you. But you handle it admirably. I guess we all have to tell ourselves that it isn’t what life throws at us, it’s how we handle it, and you are doing just great.
It’s another miserable wet day here. The deluge at the weekend is still running off the fields and another storm is forecast. Definitely monsoon season. When you said you had got a dog, I thought about doing the same. But the thought of putting me wellies on and taking it for a paddle down my lane made me think again! Perhaps a pet duck would be more practical!

Morning jane,
I do get down I have to be honest down and scared all at the same time. Gra was .y support i would never have got through it if it hadnt been for him and his daughter Michele, they stayed with me 24 hrs if one want there the other was as I said before I suffer agoraphobia and found it really difficult but the hospital put me in a side ward so they could stay.
My dog os called Millie she is a yorkshire terrier she gives me a purpose to get up each day.
Mmm now a duck is an intresting idea but can you get a lead to fit to take it for a walk? And can you sit it on your knee to atch tv with you. And please dont get a bath while its in you could get more than you bargain for lol xxx
