March 2017 – showering for decontamination

February 2017 – a history of showers part 2

A preamble So it was Christmas and Andy Goodson said I was one of his favourite people even though he didn’t know me that well. And that maybe that was because we had known each other in a past life.

January 2017 – a history of showers by a. n. other

Thank goodness for WWW land! When your back is against the wall because you have been overly concentrating on making sure you don’t bomb at you first ever stand-up gig, and suddenly there is less than one week left of

December 2016 – how long does it actually take to get clean in the shower?

I ask this question since I spent a week in a science lab recently with a stream of eager 7-11 year olds coming in to learn how to be water smart. This was part of Thames Water’s fabulous Water Efficiency

November 2016 – (not) showering at the office

I started this blog back in June 2016 before getting diverted into blogging about showering on a canal boat instead. So, trying again…  Warning: this is quite a long and technical blog but at least there is a joke at

October 2016 – how often do you shower?

As the days get shorter and my stomach ramps up its Neanderthal message of ‘winter is coming, food will get scarce, so eat eat eat’ I thought I would blog about how often as compared to how long in the

July 2016 – Showering in a post Brexit world

June 2016 – Showering on a canal boat

I was going to blog about the efficiencies of heating hot water using an Air Source Heat Pump, (as that is how the water is heated at the ech2o offices). But to do that I had to explain why I
