I finally got round to washing and ironing the bedclothes from the last Airbnb guests.
They had left a glowing review, so I did forgive them for using all my ground coffee.
I was well into the swing of ironing the quilt cover. Removing the creases and moving the cover down, and getting rid of more creases. I was engrossed in something I was watching on the TV, I didn’t realise that I had ironed the same cover four times, and it still had creases in it. I like doing the pillow cases, they are much more controllable, a quick swish one way then the other, a quick fold and it’s done.
The same for the towels, but there is perverse pleasure in flattering the fleece. It had to be the same feeling of plowing a field. Looking back on the progress, with the final fold, and the feeling of celebration. Not only have I watched twenty episodes of some drama series but I’ve flattened a pile of fabrics at the same time.
