Why the long face?!

It does make the horse look extra mournful.( why have you done this to me, I can't access any of the treats I know are in your pocket!)

 

[stephknits]

I have a gas mask for me, but not for a horse - or the horse either for that matter, but could potentially borrow one..

 

[Northerner]

I bet there were quite a few bemused looks up and down the country after you all went out and tried yesterday's workout! 😱 😉 Back to the domestic today, proving that housework can be good for your health 🙂

She looks like I feel when faced with a basket of ironing....

 

[Stitch147]

I hate ironing! Before I moved in with my OH I moved flats and he got me an iron and ironing board as an house warming present! I almost inserted the ironing board somewhere...... Wonder how many calories that would have burned!

 

[Flower]

She looks distracted like she's having a hypo to me! Stop ironing immediately woman and get glucose. 😉

Of all the possibilities for today (building a snowman, having a snowball fight, clearing snow off the car, making snow angels...) the task is ironing

Also, I hope it's not too rude to ask but...

... why do you have a gas mask?

I don’t do ironing (or very rarely). A few years ago I realised that I needed the most important criterion when buying clothes to be that it doesn’t need ironing.
Unfortunately I don’t have enough hanging space for 4 seasons’ clothes so with the best folding techniques I do occasionally iron something at the change of season but never after laundry!

I dropped my iron and it broke 😱 That was about three years ago, and I haven't felt the need to replace it yet....! 😱 🙂

 

[Northerner]

Sorry, a bit late with today's door, must have been exhausted after all that ironing! 😱 Something all the family can join in with today 🙂

Oh how wonderful the entertainment was in those days.

That's my 15 mins of exercise sorted for today! 😉

The thing that always gets me about pictures like this is that the bloke is probably in his mid to late-20s, but looks at least 50! 😱

 

[Northerner]

Crikey, are they still around? 😱 Enjoy I'm sure the laughter ligaments will get a good stretching!
