In the ranking of household
chores ironing comes quite high as it doesn’t involve getting hands wet or
kneeling down, and the difference from before to after is discernible even to
me, with a mountain of clothes in the drying room disappearing into various
drawers and wardrobes; in addition the mental drudgery of the task can be
ameliorated by listening to pre-recorded Radio 4 serialisations (today Thackeray’s
Vanity Fair narrated by Stephen Fry) without detriment to productivity - it has
to be radio though, watching TV either slows me down or burns my fingers.
