So my darling colleague brings me a skirt (which fit me perfectly) but no jacket (I didn'task). I am wearing a little T-shirt and the cooling system that has been adding to the heat instead of reducing it for the past couple of days is working overtime today its like I am at the North Pole! I am really cold and everybody in my office can see that! I have to borrow another colleagues jacket before they started charging a gate fee! I send for Oyinbo (our trusty cleaner). Luckily my suit is 100% rubber. I ask him what can be done (I am just interested in removing the stink from the thing pending when I can launder it). He asks for money for Lux soap and says he will take care of it. I am relieved to be finally rid of the smelly suit and try to get back to work. Oyinbo returned a few minutes ago with my suit ... wait for it ... freshly washed (surprise) and ironed! (loud groan) Of course its shining. I thank him for all his effort, trying not to look too upset. I am really not that fond of the suit anyway, (I only wear it when I have absolutely nothing else to wear) unfortunately now I can't give it out, what a waste!
