where's the dishwasher?


Instructions for washing up

1.    Walk across the compound to the tap with yellow jerry can, stopping for several social encounters along the way.
2.    Turn on meter to fill said can, endeavouring not to soak feet.
3.    Stumble back with flexed muscles to remove batwings.
4.    Move two plastic containers from under the giant table to   make a sensible size platform.
5.    Place largish stainless steel bowl on boxes and its lid on the   floor.
6.    Pour in water.
7.    Add washing up liquid.
8.    Wash cleanest things first to save changing water and place on lid drainer.
9.   Get Pete to dry and then decide where to throw the water, the mango tree, the pit latrine or the shower room floor depending on cleanliness.
10.   Sleep to recuperate.
