I always have a good shower first thing in the morning, including washing my hair. In addition, I usually don't need to use under-arm deodorant, but then again I don't usually do any heavy work.
Well today, just as an experiment, I decided not to have a shower or a wash of any description. Yes, really.
However, I don't smell at all, apparently. I asked Marge.
On the other hand, I don't feel entirely happy and it is a very hot day again.
Having performed the experiment, though, it's back to normal tomorrow.
