Executive clothes-washing
The other night, I filled a big grey plastic bag with clothes to be washed - and not only were they were delivered back to me the next morning, but when I opened the bag, my washing looked like this:
After being a) amazed, b) amused and c) delighted by my packaged underwear - they never even looked this good when I first bought them - I then realised that all my other washing was missing.
Until I looked at the wardrobe:
Every single item neatly ironed and hung on its own hanger, even my ‘I’m Blogging This’ T-shirt, which, fabulous as it is, really doesn’t warrant such executive treatment.
How on earth will I be able to return to normal life?

That’s very normal in Asia - even in remote back packer places, clothes always come back beautifully folded and bagged from the laundry.

Be grateful, when I had my laundry done in India they came back looking like they had been hit against rocks for 10 minutes.
Mainly because they had been hit against rocks for 10 minutes.
My mohair, rayon, cashmere, angora, silk, pure-new-wool mix underpants never looked the same again.

Tracy - shows how limited my traveling experience is. I’m like a child, wide-eyed in wonderment at things like this.
Vic - don’t worry, that was reaction d) for me. so, hey, the fourth thing that came to mind.
Jack - I feel your pain. so much that it feels like I’ve been hit against rocks for 10 minutes.

Rachel, was that ? in reference to some weird spam comment? I get those. normally about selling villas in Miami or something. I delete them as soon as I spot ‘em, but sometimes they’re up for a little too long…

Yes - I thought it was Peter morphed into a surreal inner Irish woman selling one million apartments in New York at one point until I clicked on the name and some Real Estate www came up.
I won’t take offence if you delete my questionning mark. Or this.
It is minus SIX here in Nottingham, bytheway.
