Our washing machine blew up recently. Well, blew up is maybe a bit dramatic. Made a relatively loud and uncharacteristic noise, interrupting my enjoyment of a vinho verde, and ceased working. This story is unlikely to get any more interesting. Anyway, have yet to replace it, hence was at the launderette at 8am this morning and got a washing done and hung out before work. Met 2 nice people at the launderette. They didnt, they met me. It was a good drying day here. I also fixed a very minor issue with the car while I waited. I hope tomorrow is equally fulfilling, although I will have no requirement to do laundry tomorrow.
