Lol!<br />I know what your feminist sensitivities feel about the ironing. Neither my husband nor I know how to wield an iron. But we have a cleaning lady who does it beautifully for us. If she didn't, I reckon one of us would cave in and learn. Because unlike in England, where nobody cares much what an academic looks like, in Turkey, you're not a respectable member of society if you're not ironed. And as a woman, I would probably take the blame for the state of my husband's shirt, so I'd probably be the first to cave in. Although come to think of it, no. I wouldn't iron his shirts. I'd say it was too difficult to learn how to do them.;)Sandrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229404784641370601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778669464916348661.post-81145543997448840492010-10-14T15:10:24.834+03:002010-10-14T15:10:24.834+03:00Alternatively, point them and their crumpled cloth...Alternatively, point them and their crumpled clothes in the direction of my sister's house. She claims to "love ironing" (and she thinks I'm the oddball!).<br />Not sure how she'd feel about a load of strangers turning up with bundles of unironed laundry at her door, mind.<br />Probably best not to broadcast her address to one and all, then...She Means Well...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11606884423689767178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778669464916348661.post-6203313169713858482010-10-14T14:24:24.397+03:002010-10-14T14:24:24.397+03:00I have often said that I don't iron on religio...I have often said that I don't iron on religious grounds, i.e. The Religion of Me Not Ironing. In our house, if you want something ironed, you do it yourself, because all you'll get from me is a Paddington Hard Stare! ;)Georgina Ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500657171463057093noreply@blogger.com
