The ironing man
Book 134:
The Ironing Man
Colin Campbell
…Tom would not realize that one shirt was missing. He had a lot of shirts and they were all the same. They were all white with a thin blue stripe. All his suits were dark grey and all his jackets were dark blue. All his shoes were black except the ones he used for walking, which were brown. This way of doing things made life easier, as Tom once explained to Marina:
“I get up in the morning, I put on a shirt, I put on a suit, I put on my shoes, and I don’t have to make decisions about what I am going to wear, because I always wear the same things. It’s quick, it’s so easy and I save co much time.”
Tom was very pleased with this way of getting dressed. He never said anything openly about it, but he really thought Marina should do the same thing. He thought she wasted time. Every day when Marina got up she first had o think about how she was feeling and then decide what blouses and skirts and colours and materials matched those feeling. She wanted her clothes to say something about her and about how she feeling that day. It took her a long time to get dressed. What a waste of time! But Tom took three minutes to get dressed. Three minutes.
