I'm lucky enough to work from home so can have a morning bath if I wish. Although, depending on what work I have to do, I sometimes vary that with an afternoon or evening bath.
I'm old enough to remember when showers didn't exist here in the UK and we all had baths - some of my family had tin ones in front of the fire as they had no bathrooms. Even worse, most people only bathed once a week - and they even lived to tell the tale.
Whilst I like to keep clean and certainly bath considerably more often than once a week, I do think that there is a bit of an unhealthy obsession with hygiene these days.
It's the same with washing hair. Many people would be horrified to learn that I only wash my hair 2 or 3 times a week. However, my hair is extremely dry and is curly, prone to frizzing. If I wash my hair more often than that, it gets into a terrible state and becomes even more unmanageable.
Having said that, come the horrible, sticky, sweaty hot weather, I practically live in the shower. I jump in there up to 5 or 6 times a day in order to cool down and freshen up. Even I will forgo my bath in favour of a shower on very hot days.
I dunno, what with all of these new-fangled inventions like showers and telephones and wheels and stuff!
I would have kicked my hubby if he'd brought me the phone whilst I was in my bath! That's "me" time and sacrosanct. I hope you bellowed suitably loudly at the cold caller.
