The not so glamorous stuff

This is how we wash the clothes, wash the clothes, wash the clothes 

Yup hand washing in that bucket of river water. 

You don’t waste drinking water washing clothes! 

So everyday hubby got me fresh river water and I soaked the clothes overnight and did them first thing 

It was so hot and dusty the clothes just got putrid 

Not to mention the smell of fish and mud crabs!

It was back breaking work and I have a renewed appreciation for my washing machine 

I hung my stuff on these clothes horses and kept them under the awning overnight to keep them dry 

A few times the fog was so bad even overnight that they still got wet through so I just had to keep an eye on them and bring them in as soon as they were dry 

Jody had a clothes line mostly it worked well. But some people. Like to speed past and lots of dust would end up on the washing 

Either way dust was a real problem. But we just capitulated and thought 

“Well as long as they smell clean, it will be fine”

The same inside 

Dust everywhere 

Kitchens to clean

Bathrooms to wipe down 

Beds to make 

But a women’s work is never done

So we gave it a good go every morning and then ignored it all the rest of the day

Until meal times that is 

But that’s a whole other story lol 

Go and hug your washing machines. They’re wonderful! 

See ya xxx
