Comme ci, comme ca

So, in the Good column:
I am up-to-date with the laundry.
Lovely afternoon yesterday with tamaranth
New dress! (Black and white and short.)
Cats are happy
The marquis, who was feeling unwell yesterday, is much better today.
I'm in the middle of reading a series of fascinating recent feminist books.

In the Bad column:
I am not up-to-date with the ironing,
Or with my writing,
Because my shoulders are cr*p plus I seem to have some kind of sleeping virus
Fascinating feminist books are fascinating, but they also make me sad, at how much ground we have still to go and how much the gains of the 70s and early 80s have already been eroded


Skirt of the day: cream patchwork.

Ironing with sore shoulders is Not Good Idea. I'm behind on mine, too, so you're not alone, and I don't have an excuse. :-)

Perhaps our concern with ironing shows that feminist gains have been eroded? Nah, I'm just compulsive about it, and I get some great story ideas when doing it, too.

I'm interested in further discussion of feminist gains which have been eroded?

Ironing ... some fabrics do show its lack, and it's something to do when there's something really good on the radio, but otherwise ...

Ahem ... didn't mean to post anonymously, I typed in my password and everything.

As I was saying, am v. interested in further discussion of feminist gains which have been eroded?

I am dead on my feet today, but I do recommend Natasha Walter's new book Living Dolls and Kat Banyard, The Equality Illusion.
Ironing pleases me - as you say, good radio programmes, or the occasional trashy film.

Yep. I like ironing, in fact -- I find it soothing.
