Maintaining my standards

I may be retired but I will not let my usual high standards drop probably because I have a degree of 'obsessive compulsive disorder' and that's the way I am. Eden often looks at me in disbelief if we are sitting down and I suddenly jump up to straighten a picture or make the folds of the curtains look neat, but that's the way I am, everything just so.
So, I still clean up regularly and when I do the washing, I iron the same day. I still iron my sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers too but everyone else I know thinks I'm barking mad to do it but I can't stop myself. Besides, there's nothing nicer than slipping into fresh sheets that have been pressed properly.
Even when I was working full time I still did the same as I do now, except that now I can do the cleaning and washing on a week day as well as the shopping so that my weekends are free for Eden and cooking. This is why I cannot understand some of the neighbours around here. The houses are back to back so I can't avoid seeing quite a few gardens, but most of the neighbours that hang out washing seem to leave it out for a week or more.
This amuses me because very often we have a few good drying days in a row then we may get a wet day then dry again but none of them seem to be bothered. My washing has to go into the tumble dryer because I don't have enough room in the garden although I have a very small rotary clothes line, the washing hangs all over the plants. Even if I could dry the laundry outside, I would bring it in as soon as it was ready to iron because there is so much dust from building work in the area and mess from the railway that the clothes are mucky and smelly if left out too long.
Perhaps I'm too fussy for my own good but I'll continue just the way I am, thank you very much!
