Timmy, we still haven't met, in person, as it were: now I'm rather relieved.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you look a treat, really, but, um, you know, I have my standards, when in public.
Before you make a final judgment, Caz, let me hasten to assure you that I *never* wash doilies in the washing machine, principally because I don't own any doilies.
ReplyDeleteyou know you put pyjamas in twice
ReplyDeleteI love your ode, although herringbone should never be put through the wash, nor triblies
I put pyjamas in twice because pyjamas are just that good. I HAD to do it!
ReplyDeletenuff said then!
