It rained.

I hate washing. So many steps and things to remember. Lots of things to buy, and lots of choices of which versions of things to buy. And then when you've got all that stuff, you have to decide what setting to put the machine on. None of them make any sense to me. So I always go for the 'fast colour wash', and hope for the best. I mean I want it done fast, and my clothes are coloured. It seems to do the job.

It doesn't end there either. Once things are clean they still need to be dried. I thought that was what the washing line was for, but I forgot about the rain.

Back to square one.

Maybe washing machines should come with a weather forecast built in.

(In the unlikely event that anyone reading this does design washing machines and decides to implement this, could you please do me a favour and only give it one setting. Cheers.)

Did you choose the sheets to complement the fence or vice versa?

[Paul H. Colman]

I always match my fence to my sheets, it's the natural thing to do.

ok, so next generation washing machines will have an iphone dock, from which you can access the weather widget and power up the machine. easy.

and if you could wash your sheets over this way, that would be great - we need some rain.

[Paul H. Colman]

That sounds like bliss.

I totally agree. Fucking washing machines. Far too many options. Far too many.

Have you seen those ads recently for a new 'eco' washing powder that uses less energy because it washes at 15 degrees?

Have you ever seen a washing machine that washes at 15 degrees? Neither have I.
