Laundry Day

There are two major things this condo does not have—an oven and a washer/dryer.   We do have a version of a washer/dryer.

It is a pretty little “Kiddie Pool” about three feet across and about eight inches deep.  It fits nicely in the shower.

 We could send our laundry out but it costs approximately $15Belize for a single ten pound load.  So we decided we could do it ourselves.

We have the detergent, the bleach, the miniature swimming pool and room to hang the clothes to dry.

I think Gail has done this before because she is certainly good at it.  We wash it, ring it out, and then rinse it.

After that we have to find a place to hang it all to dry.  Today was not too bad since we did not have a large amount.

It is amazing how long you can wear something when you realize this is how you have to wash it.  And, ironing is something that is just not done—unless you have an office-type job or go to school and have to look a whole lot nicer than we do.  I have a number of seersucker shirts that have a really casual look (wrinkled)—at least that is my rationalization.
