Terracotta

That familiar sting of DOMS! After attempting to roll out of bed with the least discomfort possible, you find yourself stifling your laughter because it hurts your overworked abdominal muscles. Sitting down has become a whole new task in itself. Every step throughout the day is now a graceless mission in wincing and groaning. Ah, love the burn!

It pays to tend to your own laundry; There are things that might be missed should you not take to task yourself. In order to do a fine job of it, forget machinery. Bang it against a rock, scrub hard if you have to, be sure to rinse well.

Oh and mind the dirt, it is all of your own doing anyway.

Managed correctly, our developing nations could be the ones to make a difference.
