In retrospect, today’s photo was bound to happen, sometime – I just hadn’t quite expected it to be today.
The towels are about to come out and the dirty clothes to go in.
Basically I do clothing laundry roughly twice a week, usually right after every other trip to the gym, when I have two sets of disgusting workout clothing in the hamper – and today is one of those days. I also wash (and dry) my towels once a week – and the fate’s fickle finger pointed at today.
I picked up a new habit while my friends were visiting me over the holidays – and that is to come home before going to the gym and starting the towels.
Towels are the only thing that I regularly both wash and dry, and the machine takes just under four hours to accomplish this task, including 95 minutes of drying – the rest is washing and some 15 minutes of random drum turning once the machine has finished drying. This is perfect timing for trips to the gym, as I tend to get home shortly after the machine has finished its complete dance.
I might note that you should be grateful that this is actually the washing machine – had I been running even further behind, you could have gotten me in the gym locker room.
I never understood why doing a load of laundry took so long in Germany. My washer here takes 50 minutes and dryer takes about 40.
I’m glad you were not running too far behind so we were spared seeing the “full Adam.”
I doubt it would be a good idea to take a picture in the locker room anyway. 🙂
It depends on what he’s taking a picture of … 🙂
Today was my 1950s housewife day: grocery shopping, a casserole with cream of mushroom soup, and … laundry. My washer’s not as versitile as yours, but these days it’s so damp that my stand-alone dryer takes two rounds to get things, ummm, undamp.
J – The speed of machines in the US constantly surprise me. I wonder how clean clothes are over there — plus, since the machines are smaller here, it’s hard to do a lot here. Lots of laundry thoughts 🙂
Cynical Queer – I think you want to see the full Adam.
Mateo – MT’s right — it depends what I pointed the camera at, and let me tell you, there are somethings I wish I could take snapshots of!
MT – “undamp”? that sounds unpleasant.
