why do people say, "i have to do the washing," as though it's a monumental task when, for most of us, it involves opening the door of the machine, chucking in the clothes and some washing liquid/powder, and pressing a button?
i woudn't mind, but half of these poor overworked things have tumble driers (grrrr) so they don't even have to hang it out.
Eh?
oh, nothing, really. i was talking to my neighbour about it the other day, and it fell back into my head, that's all. just makes me laugh - anyone would think washing involved major physical effort.
It's not the washing, it's the hanging out to dry. (No, no tumble drier. Those things are a waste of energy, IMHO.)
hanging out to dry is a female thing, i'm come to believe. i've yet to meet a man who can do it properly, even though it's all about physics.
I'm an expert, thank you very much.
i require proof - i'm an empiricist, you know.
I'll wash your clothes and hang them out to dry, then. And entertain you in the meanwhile.
but it still only takes a few minutes.
It's endlessly boring so it feels like forever.
welcome to the world of housework.
A bit late, that welcome. I've done it for years and years.
