Catching two birds with one stone

Catching up with Abi's idea of One photo and Twenty words:
My son's quirky t-shirts make the hated job of ironing more bearable  The Queen wearing a moustache? Must be Movember!

Which also ticks the box for Me on Monday. Half day working, then catching up on chores.  Oh but I dislike ironing.  You spend hours doing it, then a few days later there's another batch waiting.  
Nothing very exciting on the agenda here this weekend. It was a Tesco shopping, big Sunday lunch cooking, book reading, buying a top in the Joules 25% off sale, turning the central hearing up a notch on Saturday, then switching it back down again on Sunday,dog walking over the park followed by dog bathing as soon as she was home and everyone running for cover before she shakes the water off kind of weekend. 

The younger members of the families are nursing sore throats and earaches, so I am keeping my distance before they share the germs around. Hope everyone is well in your household. Now let's all pop over and give a big wave to Sian while we find out why she spent the weekend in protective clothing!

That's a pretty groovy tshirt. Is he still sporting the facial hair then? Mine is. I keep seeing beard grooming products in Christmas catalogues and his sister keeps telling me he won't thank me for them..

Re contact lenses. I have bi focal ones and seriously they are the best thing ever. Highly recommended.

I think you're very good to still be doing your son's ironing!
Re the contact lens thing ... I haven't got on at all with the varifocal type and am switching back to "normal" type. My varifocal glasses, however, are fabulous! I think the younger you start with contact lens, the better. I've been wearing them since I was 18.

Fun photo although I have to say I'm happy it's you ironing, not me. :-) Love that shirt.

Abi said...

That shirt is hilarious! Dangerous to tell me there is a joules sale on! I love their clothes.

I hope everyone's feeling better soon, Deb! Your post reminded me that I wanted Doug to give Lucky a bath this past weekend and he managed to avoid it...

The pic literally made me lol :) We are doing the up and down temps here as well. Should hit 73 Wednesday and 49 Friday. Stay well!

Great shirt. My son has an interesting collection too! Our heating came on Thursday morning, which was a surprise to everyone and it hasn't kicked in again since.

Hopefully his funky clothing makes ironing less of a chore for you. (You are much kinder than me - I'd be giving him an iron for Christmas!). Hoping you had some nice time for yourself too :).
