MASKS! What a f'n PITA!
Especially if the cartilage in your ear is gone after an op for cancer and the elastic just pulls your ear down and the mask falls off.
So I fixed it so I could wear a mask like everybody else.
A couple of buttons sewn on my cap and VIOLA!
(Even sewed them on all by myself!)

Masks: Re-use
If you have to buy them yourself, "Disposable" masks can cost up to $5 each, and $5 a day each to go to the shop for food soon adds up.
So rather than follow the herd and bin them after one wearing, we take them off when we come home and put them in a bucket in the laundry. The bucket contains 5 litres or water and 100ml of benzalkonium chloride sanitiser.
When we have enough, sanitiser and masks are tipped in to the washing machine set to Silk/Delicate cycle.
Then they're hung up to dry in a nice sunny spot, ready to wear again.
The social media herd probably call this a "hack" .
I think it's just commonsense.
