    I washed two jumpers yesterday.

    Despite the attentions of the Miele tumble drier, they were still wet this morning.

    I suppose they should be dry-ish by this evening.

    When I had the additional space in the Strangelove parents' abode, I could use the clothes horse and the dehumidifier.

    With the current things piled on top of other things arrangements, it ain't quite so easy.
    The jumpers were still damp yesterday evening.

    They appeared to be dryish this morning.

    TFIF.

    The backup el cheapo washing machine is, hopefully, doing the cottons as I type.

    It's 25 minutes slower than the Miele on paper, but 3 fecking weeks faster in practice.
    When the fun stops, STOP.

          Did it a few years back - not sure if the Cheese was on it then.
          My grandmother went in the Cheshire Cheese aged 11.

          There was an air raid on!

          Her mother lived just up the hill - near the Breck.

            Had a shave for, I think, the first time this week

            Now trying to decide whether to go to the shops or leave it to around noon tomorrow when, I suspect, they may be nice and quiet

                  Off to do the shopping, as it might actually be busy tomorrow lunchtime if everybody else has the same idea as me

                    Surely all the women will be watching the tv?

                    It'll be busy as feck in B&Q, Screwfix, Toolstation, Machine Mart etc. enabling gentlemen to escape this.

                    It strikes me ever more frequently, as the seemingly unending tedium of this tuliphole gets worse & worse, that I'll really regret all this wasted time when I'm on my deathbed.

                      Tomorrow's a double whammy: royal wedding at lunchtime, then the FA Cup final in the afternoon. So the men may escape briefly, but only to Asda to load up the van with Union-Jack-emblazoned cases of 24 Carling Black Label, probably without their shirts on given the weather
