Togs 1 to 20, including all the 1/2's so that all conditions can be dealt with. Some 'pop' together giving choices beyond reason. Pillows are in various softnesses and materials, non-allergenic and those that give you typhoid.
In the old house, we had a room dedicated to the storage of bedding with written plans and a map so that the correct combination could be found for a particular circumstance.
I can hear you thinking - how did that clever Daddy Papersurfer solve this problem in the new apartment at the gated community, where space is at a premium?
VACUUM BAGS; the greatest invention since sliced bread. [And what, may I ask, was the greatest invention before sliced bread? - answers on a postcard please.]
You stuff as many duvets and pillows as you can into a bag, aided by the terrible Goddess lying on top, trying to put on weight and then you apply the vacuum cleaner to the nipple [oh, do stop sniggering]. The bulk shrinks and shrinks until it is the size of an enlarged atom and Bob's your uncle [for my reader that isn't English this means 'there you are'].
(He never did explain how having a vacuum cleaner attached to my nipple helped to pack pillows; it turned out to be a rotten sense of direction. In 1991 this led to us going all round Gibraltar three times in search of a spare part for the boat. Why is it peabrains refuse to ask for directions? Lo, TG. Ed.).
Our collection now fits into a matchbox. I only hope that the seals don't break - we'll burst the apartment block asunder.
