When cooking and cleaning I always wear an apron. I always have done. (Just a bog standard blue and white striped butcher's type apron). Mr BM remarked earlier that he had never known anyone to wear an apron like I do.
And thinking about it, apart from my mother and grandmother, I do not recall anyone I know wearing an apron.
I'd often wear an apron, I get more housework done once it's on me, something like a uniform for me, once it comes off, I'm free from the kitchen and the housework
I bought one that has black and white squares as it matches the kitchen tiles! It's hung up on the back of the kitchen door but I have worn it occasionally. My Mum used to wear what can only be described as a coverall, and she wore a turban on her head.
Arky, Dave is large..very large. The apron is small. I told him this is what he must wear when cooking. Imagine my surprise when I welcomed our dinner guests, brought them through the kitchen to find Dave wearing, like you, ONLY the apron. :-(
