OVER ONE HUNDRED VIEWS ~ THANK YOU Cultra Irons on the window ledge of an Irish Cottage FROM THE FORTHCOMING / ANOTHER BLONDE CHAPTER: THE GIRL FROM 1910 Tuesday was usually set aside for ironing, a chore that took all day and was nearly as tiring as washing. As one expert noted, “Ironing is admitted to be somewhat trying work, because necessarily much heat is involved; but orderly procedure and good methods will prevent the worker from getting into a flurried state of mind.” The 1886 edition of Practical Housekeeping advised, “When inviting friends for visits of a week or more, try to fix the time for the visit to begin after the ironing is done.” The point being that the homemaker would be in a better frame of mind and have more time for cooking meals and tending to her guests. Women of the time undoubtedly would have been using a “sad iron” to press their families’ clothes. One meaning of sad in nineteenth century dictionaries was “heavy.” Although many of these irons were small, they were very heavy. When sad irons were heated near an open fire or on the stove, their handles became red hot. Women tried wrapping aprons or towels around the handles, but still burned their fingers. Mary F. Potts endeared herself to countless women when she patented a much lighter sad iron with a detachable wooden handle. The first type of Iron Was a Flat iron or Sad iron (“sad” meaning heavy) which could be heated on a fire or kitchen range, or sometimes on a special stand. Sad Irons came in many different sizes and were made from cast iron which made them heavy to lift and often too heavy to hold and use easily. You needed to own several so that a new one could be heated up while one was being used. You could test to see if it was hot enough by spitting on it. Flat Irons were replaced by Box Irons (hollow metal boxes filled with heated metal or charcoal). One type was the hollow metal box iron with a lift-up door at the back. A small piece of cast iron, which was the same size as the box, would be heated in the fire grate until it was red hot and it would then be placed inside the iron. In a second type, the hollow metal box would be filled with glowing coals from the fire. By inserting a pair of bellows through a hole in the back, the user could raise the temperature although use of the bellows could cause showers of soot and ashes to fall on to the newly washed clothes. Electric irons came on to the market in 1890 and were developed with dials to control the heat. Later water compartments were added to provide steam, which made ironing much easier.

What lurks deep under this rock ledge..?? A beautiful deep rock pool along the Mornington Peninsula Coast. It goes back a fair bit under the rocky outcrop so I’m busting to dive in and find out how deep it actually goes – just because I’m curious..!!

Sister Shot from this rocky outcrop and deep, deep beautiful rock pool…Quite a hard one to compose for really – well a challenge I’m up for and although I don’t think I’ve perfected it in these couple of shots, I do like the mix of elements – moody sky, rocky rock and emerald deepness….thanks for having a look, critique and comments always most welcome….cheers there Bubblers, / rgs, Rob.

Whilst standing up here this evening I had to ask myself.. is this the safe thing to do? But then I thought, if we never took risks then that would be a boring way to live. This one was taken from the same spot as a couple of my other Portsea images but at a different time and day. My original intention was to get a good sunset around the eastern side of the London Bridge but the tide was a lot higher than I expected so I climbed back up to this spot instead and it was definitely worth it :) I had to put the ISO up a fair bit to keep the exposure time down as it was almost dark. Luckily I can get away with it with this camera, the picture would be a lot grainier had I used my 40D. The London Bridge is located on the ocean side of Portsea in the Mornington Peninsula National Park, Victoria, Australia. It’s only a short walk down to this spot from the car park. / Settings Canon 5D, 17-40mm f4 L USM.
