Comfort is a stubborn washer. She is stubborn about bathing and refuses to keep her cloth. Dirty clothing just heaps up in a big pile and she will try to wear it over and over. She gives Eunice big work making her change it and burn the ones that smell bad. Seeing as I was having a laundry day I invited Comfort to come wash with me. We carried our cloth in buckets down to the pump and pumped and washed together. She did very well and I think she enjoyed the company. Eunice her house parent is on leave but I wish I could have shown her how well she did!
I decided to wear my george wrapper to church with a jumper because its comfortable and hides my legs from mosquitoes. I enjoy the way it looks. I think I will keep wearing it in England. When I came back from Chapel V/Rev said that I was not supposed to treat my cloth like that and it is too special for everyday usage. If I wear it in that manner I will offend the cloth and women will feel cross for me doing it like that. He said I should wear it with a lace blouse and keep it for a special occasion like his induction.
