How Sad Am I?
I’m this sad! My ironing board broke. I bought a new one. It’s bigger and better and even has a little gadget for holding the flex of the iron. I challenge you all to come up with a sadder post than this!
Thank you so much, Katherine. You were obviously reading my post whilst I wqs trying to think up a suitable limerick. Without, so far, any success of relevance.
Oh yes. Now to show how sad I am I thought your post was most informative and I, too, have some of those dusters. As for having a dusty house you know who your friends are when one of them tells you that it's about time that you dusted your skirting boards. 'Oh' I replied 'You mean I'm supposed to dust skirting boards every year?'
What's the matter with you? I'd be happy to have a new ironing board like that, especially with the extra what's-it to hold the cord. And as for dusting, I simply claim my eyesight no longer allows me to see dust or cobwebs. (Which is partly true!)
What's sad about it??? My ironing board squeaks and wobbles when I use it, the thing you're supposed to put the iron on is downright dangerous, and while I'm ironing I stare into a bookcase. If you want me to post a photo of it, just tell me. For the full sad effect it would really need a soundtrack to go with it, though, and I haven't learned how to do that yet.
who knew someone could re invent the ironing board. never seen one like this. and ironing makes me sad, whether on old or new board. as a child that was my job. yuck

Um. I thought it was a lovely, gentle, every-day and revealing post. Not sad at all! So there.

ReplyDeleteOh, I've come back: with a sad post I did in my early blogging days - it's about buying dusters... does it qualify?

ReplyDeletePS. Here's a blog post for you. I was going to go for the most dull perspective possible, but then I kind of started playing glad games instead...
ReplyDeleteHa-sad?? You've got to be kidding me...look at all of the shine in this photo! Do you want to see sad? Oh, never you mind :)

ReplyDeletewith a view like that ironing should be no problem...
