I can iron a polo shirt or any other shirt, or item of clothing, for that matter, at the speed of light. So fast that you cannot see me do it.

Anyway I will be out in the garden, if you need me, and out in the garden if you don't need me!

I’ve been out in the garden all morning, tidying up, pulling weeds, cutting the hedges. I feckin hate gardening.

Having served 25 years in the military, I’m quite good at ironing. Only my own stuff mind, as my wife’s clothes are too small, made from strange materials that seem to require temperature adjustment every 10 seconds, and the buttons are on the wrong side. And don’t get me started on pleats and frilly bits

All of my clothes are purchased with ease of ironing in mind. One of my pet hates is cheap t-shirts and polo shirts which, when laid flat, have side-seams that don’t line up. There is always that ‘really difficult to iron’ shirt in the pile that is always left to last. Although, I’ve recently discovered that doing the difficult item first makes the whole ironing experience much more relaxed and enjoyable.

In other, ironing related news, I ordered a new ironing board cover yesterday.

Did some work on a bike thing this morning 😁

It is a very grey and damp, soggy day here chez Casa Reynard. It rained all morning and it's still spitting and spotting a wee bit.

I did some laundry this morning, have drunk several and put pay to about half a loaf of fresh bread for lunch. I made a potato bread a la Hairy Bikers as I had leftover mash that needed using.

I have also made good progress on the poem I am working on.

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Little & Large"

That is bad - Formula E is bad enough on it's own, but the sim version sounds like the ultimate cure for insomnia.

Actually, the sim racing is a lark - you usually get cars wanging through the air completely upside down

Just woken up from dozing off on the sofa.

Just woken up from dozing off on the sofa.

I’d have another snooze. That waking up thing can really take it out of you.

Been out for a very relaxed 19 miles down the old railway track and down the prom and back, I was about 4 miles along the track and I passed an older couple who had their back to me, I slowed right down to walking speed and asked, very politely "can I get past please" this was met by a move and a scowl, I turned around after about 1 mile and headed to the prom, I met the same couple on the way back, blocking the track completely, I did the same, slow to walking and politely asked, I was met by the lady shaking her fist at me and exclaiming "bloody cyclists" I would have rung my bell, however its been somewhere in the garage for years, too late to go back for it.

Good, I hope you get them, quite quirky, different from the usual, sorry @Reynard
