| | I've been dabbling in the art of hand-washing clothing and I gotta hand to any of those pioneering old souls who used to do this. Is it any wonder people smelled awful through the middle ages? If you ask me I think they made a pact to put up with the smell for the sake of mutually saving themselves from an early onset of arthritis. Life was bad enough knowing you would die by 30, why spend the last few years coping with carpal tunnel or drawing baths?
Also, I was not aware that colour runs from denim like crime runs from the batman. My hands (and bathtub) are now somewhere between a cyan and a periwinkle. As well, my hands feel like a coal miner's, I can imagine that the laundry maids of old were very self conscious about their calloused grips (there's an innuendo in there if you're willing to look for it).
