No, I haven't run away to a lovely deserted island with no internet access. Although, who hasn't, when looking at a massive pile of ironing still to do, imagined running away to a place where it doesn't matter if your shirts are wrinkled and your collars aren't starched?
I'm still here but I have been ill and, as my grandmother would say, took to my bed. Please forgive me my frailties! I'm on the mend now and once I've caught up with the housework, if there's anyone still reading, we'll be back to the scheduled programming.
Topics to cover soon:
- the dreaded school reunion
- cooking by senses, not by numbers
- keeping a house clean when you have 7 minutes not 7 days a week
- something else scrawled in my notebook downstairs that I can't remember

Is there a shirt-ironing service in the city somewhere? Cause I also have a large pile of non-ironed shirts.. Because I don't know how to iron shirts. So I've just been wearing knits to work
The boyfriend knows, though, so I might just give them all to him one weekend. Hah.
Sunili, I don't know about the city, but I'm told that Pressed for Time in North Perth does a very good job. They're at 450A Fitzgerald Street near the corner of Wasley Street.
In the long term (unless you're planning to escape your pinstriped nightmare any time soon) I really really really think it is worth investing in a steam station thingamybob. We have a Laura Star and it makes my life so much lovelier. I can steam suits with it and even iron on silk. It makes lots of swooshy puffs of steam so boys seem to think it is fun - bonus!
