Not plain sailing

We know that computers can get sulky if you leave them alone too long.  Apparently so can washing machines. We came home to find the washing machine was depositing black flakes on everything we washed. After extensive consultations with Dr Google, and after talking to some experts, we concluded that the answer would be a new washing machine.

Which is why we spent some time in the washing machine section at the Good Guys today. The new machine will arrive on 8 October. Meanwhile, we will visit our friends with baskets of laundry and rediscover hand washing.

It all confirms the blip of 17 September.
