full circle on laundry

long time readers of my blog will know about my battles with the laundry. how I loathed the lack of a washing machine in my apartment. why could we not pay in cash? and why were the machines permanently broken? four months on and I'm a full convert. today we did four loads of laundry. we took it all down to the laundry room on the second floor. bunged it into four machines. came up and watched another episode of breaking bad. went down and bunged it into the tumble dryer and hey presto, bob's your uncle. no hanging around waiting for your poor, domestic washing machine to go round four times. no hanging towels and sheets over banisters. none of that. OK, there's the terrible for the environment business, but that's a different post.
