Bathroom cooking
21 September 2020 12:34 amAn unanticipated side-effect of having my draining-board in the bath and my washing-up in the bathroom sink is that I have to clear all the day's washing-up before I can actually use the bathroom to wash *myself* at all. Today I finally managed to wash my hair after clearing the sink at about 5pm, after what felt like an entire day's nonstop cooking, washing up, cooking, more washing up, carrying the chopping board into the bathroom to scrub it, and constantly emptying the washing-up bowl down the toilet on the grounds that I really don't want fragments of food getting lodged in that particular sink outlet pipe. (Draining saucepans over the toilet is also a highly non-intuitive activity, and I can see that sooner or later I'm going to end up tipping a teaspoon in.)
