Reconsider Laundry Woes

Another African lesson...

Meet Paula (in pink) a wonderful friend
to Kym.
Paula's family of 4 live in a house just about
the same size as our cabin at the lodge.
While visiting her one day, I noticed that
she had a lady ironing ALL of her laundry.
I questioned why iron the underwear.
All their laundry is hand washed and hung to dry.
The tumbu fly loves laying eggs on warm damp clothes.
If left untreated, by heat, the egg will burrow
into the flesh.

So, I need to reconsider the "hassle" of hanging
and folding clothes,from the dryer.
In fact, there is little, if anything,
that is a hassle, compared to how others live.
