   Fine now that I am empoying TG’s strategy. I will keep K as a back up for single items. I can now safely bin my ironing board and the iron. Yippee, more time for blogging!

   [ignoring typo as Technogran spotted it] ….. and it’ll leave you more time to spot typos.

   BTW we do own an ironing board and an iron – they are behind glass with a sign on it saying “ONLY TO BE USED IN EMERGENCIES”

   Hmm. Yes, might be wise to keep it for just such an eventuality. After all, K might be in respite! What will I do then for just one garment. Good idea! I’ll pinch it if that’s okay (no glass though so shower cubicle will have to suffice.)

   Jugs is always a good one and if you can mention melons, private dicks and camel humps you’ll be certain of attracting the right sort of reader ……

   Should that be ‘match not going on strike’???

   I am loving that jug, it looks very, very old did you buy it from new?? *snigger*

   Actually it’s a replacement to the one I knew as a child ….. this one is a mere 30 years old …… Dartmouth Pottery still make them I believe …….. and no, the match is striking not to strike …… or something ….

   A sad development to your story. Heard it on the news just a few moments ago…

   Hard at work on the picket line, slim Tim wished for a hot cup of matcha tea, but alas, there was nary a one available to light a fire to boil the water.

   Oops… that posted in the wrong place. I must’ve been so distraught at poor Tim’s plight, that I clicked something whilst sobbing on the keyboard.

   What a beautifully manicured lawn … reminds me of an old friend who had a phobia of walking barefoot on grass. Ooops, sorry … lost my train of thought. Gurgling jugs, was it?

    I have seen pairs of jugs that looked like they might trap air and possibly gurgle.
