“My Dad’s got it easy… all he wears is a tabard.” Mike says as Charlie reapplies his lipstick.
“I wish I only had a tabard.” Charles sighed as he put the lippy back into the pocket on his apron.
“Me too.” Mike gulped.
After tidying the lounge and dining room and making his sisters a mid morning snack, Charles began separating the laundry into lights, darks, colours and delicates before putting the first load on. “You’ll need to time your washing machine so you know how long each cycle takes, and check the time when you turn it on.” he explains. “Non-fast coloureds takes about an hour and ten, a white wash is closer to two hours. The sooner you get the clothes out, the easier they are to iron.” Charles tells his unwilling apprentice as he dumps the delicates into a sink and begins to handwash them.
