Going from
rough to smooth

that was the whole idea, until ding-dong loadshedding knocked at my door.
And no I’m not a senior lady with grey hair tired of ironing.
I love my anti-wrinkle treatments. It allows me to steam out all my crinkled ideas. Ironing is really therapeutic. The fact is, I am a happy ironer It is like having a hobby. I’m not doing it because I have to, but because I like to. And the ‘like to’ I recognise as a kind of privilege well-earned.
Chore therapy is a discipline of mindfulness. I enjoy the work, getting lost in smoothing out all the creases. From time to time I find myself relaxing and doing it all the time. Slowly dissipating steam, from time to time, as I please.
Loadshedding has a way of blocking that, but hey I have other chore therapies to do. The roses are calling. Will be back in an hour or two. Happy Friday to you

Yes the roses 🌹 are calling
Puckered roses that need to be licked and probed
Moist roses with open petals that need to be stimulated and popped
Aubergines in the garden that need to be pulled
Gardens are full of delightful chores
The bishop is cuming for a garden fete
Oh good evening Bishop
You’ve travelled?
A garden fete you say
Will need a thinking cap indeed
Perhaps the best dirt digger
What you think?
Ironing as meditation sounds divine.
Oh absolutely Jeffrey
