So, today we braved the washing machine...
It is an interesting machine. It didn’t take Franklin long to figure out how it worked. He is a nice handyman to have around! It takes a LONG time for it to wash clothes though… we truly thought it was going to shatter apart b/c it was shaking so hard! Then it stopped running. It appeared to be through… but we couldn’t get the door open. There is a system to everything in this apartment, we are slowly figuring that out...
To dry your clothes, of course, you hang them on the clothesline off the balcony. This isn’t so bad, except that I’m afraid of heights… so I made Franklin go out there and do it the first time. I decided that I can only hang clothes at night :o) He goes out there and starts to hang the clothes without any problems… only for one problem ~ he doesn’t shake them out on the balcony; but rather over the balcony and down goes an undergarment of mine; which, of course, gets “stuck” on the clothesline beneath us!
I guess this is one way to meet your neighbors… that is, when I get the nerve to go down there and get it :o)
More to come…
