slight exception

Disliking shirts as I do, putting the day's office-shirt back on when I get home ought not to be even thought of but it gives my cycling-home-gear a chance to dry out and saves it from becoming bedribbled or ensnottered about the shoulders, which can often result in the premature consignment of otherwise still-wearable clothings to the washbasket. There is the occasional risk of getting some strongly-coloured tea-food on a shirt but the reasonable frequency of nappy-strength washes means it won't be long before things so stained are again wearable in an office. After a couple of years of not looking for cheap shirt bundles in clothing-shop sales I picked up a few extras recently in order to be able to decommission a few older and more frayed shirts and increase the number of shirts in circulation to theoretically provide three weeks' worth of workwear, should they all be dry and ironable at the same time. As nappies are laundered at least once a week it should be possible to operate on nothing but white shirts, but the odd thing like this (slightly fancier (as in not cut to fit a tent and with a sideways lowest buttonhole) than what I usually get but it was extremely cheap in a sale a few years ago just in time for some sort of wedding or other shirt-requiring occasion) helps there always be something available if no white washes have been performed recently.
