Sometimes, no always, I feel just like Mr Natural. In this house I like to wash dishes by hand, whereas Lady M uses the washing-up machine (which I have no idea how to operate).
Here is my favourite cartoonist of all time, Robert Crumb, illustrating perfectly how both Mr Natural and I go about things.
It's kind of spooky because you look like Mr Natural too! I would not advise piling up the dishes etc. quite as high as that!
ReplyDeleteThat's what my wife said, I had to agree with her.
DeleteIf you've never played 'Washing Up Jenga' you've never lived! X
DeleteI've only played the 'fine glassware' version.
DeleteAs long as the jobs finished and the glasses sparkle then youve done a good job. . However, I also prefer the dishwasher. It sterilises, deodorises with only a filling up and an emptying to be done by me. I hope you and Mr Naturel both put that pile of dishes away in the cupboard once they're washed and dried
ReplyDeletePutting it all away is not my forté. I'm good at getting it all sparkly clean, but that's it.
DeleteWhat happened to your "exorbitant rentals" post earlier this morning?
ReplyDeleteU
It disappeared!
DeleteIf it does not run in the dishwasher, it is not kept in my kitchen (with a couple of cast iron exceptions.)
ReplyDeleteI want my washing-up to be cleaner than that.
DeleteDishwashers were invented to make a woman's job easier - no-one said anything about a man's job!
ReplyDeleteYes, men do invent some strange things!
DeleteI think you might find washing the dishes therapeutic. Whatever floats your boat!
ReplyDeleteI actually do. I don't have a window in front of the sink here, but I do in France and I really enjoy the simplicity of washing-up and looking out at the landscape.
DeleteSorry Mr Natural, the job isn't well done until those dishes are put away. I like hand washing dishes, having the hands in hot soapy water is the quickest way to warm up in cold weather. Though the warm doesn't last all that long once the dishes are finished.
ReplyDeleteI believe that a human artery nearest the surface is at the inner wrist, so it is the fastest point on the body to heat the blood quickly. Does that make sense?
DeleteYes, definitely, I frequently warm up by doing the dishes.
