It’s hard to miss the fact that I have to do a lot more laundry in the winter.
Now that I’m retired and living full-time-naked out in the country, I can get by without having to wash clothes for over a month. During the winter it has to be done once a week or the laundry basket gets rather full. All that unnecessary clothing in the summer just sits in my drawers taking a break until winter comes back. Since Summer in Central Texas lasts for 8 months that leaves only 4 months of having to do the laundry. It certainly saves on the energy bill.
Only a month? 😀
Same here (also central Texas). Going out in summer is generally just shorts, shirt, and sandals, with a hat for shade. Winter can be anything from the same as summer to shoes, socks, pants, shirt, sweater, coat, gloves and warm hat. Sometimes in the same day! At least I can still generally be nude around the house, and even do some outdoors work nude during the winter months.
I obviously own too many clothes, as it takes me about three months to get through them before I need to wash them, but then I’m not wearing them out either, so I still have too many… Yes it is more in the Winter though.
nods in agreement. I observe the same fun fact here in Spain. Winter is full of laundry and log fires, I think most people don’t notice this as they do a wash load every few days. Summer for me is full of hiking with the dog and forgetting where the socks even live.
