I know what I cleaned off of my window sills at our old apartment. So, I don’t understand why someone would hang their blankets out to air while at the same time getting bird doo germs all over them.
There is no way I will ever do that no matter if I live in France for fifty years.
My husband tells me all the time that I worry too much about germs.
Fine.
In this case I will continue to be a paranoid American.





My mom’s family is Dutch and German so I grew up hanging stuff out windows and on every available surface. Then I went to France and did the same thing. And today I still do the same thing.
I did have a bird let loose on a beloved scarf once though, so I can definitely see where you’re coming from. I may not worry about germs all that much, but I do have issues wearing something around my neck when I know a bird pooped on it prior.
Exactly.
I do understand that it is me that is a germ freak. I am much better than before I lived in France. I even ate an uncovered cookie the other day…even if it was clearly in coughing rang of someone. :)
