Today was a typical English summer day - overcast and drizzly. That kind of rain that one of the students called "really annoying", the kind I find gives me big hair. Despite the weather I decided to do a load of laundry, hoping that the clouds wouldn't deliver any rain. Here are pictures of my English Laundry system. I have a washing line and four (4) clothes pegs. I guess doing laundry isn't a big priority here in the intellectual capital if England. Of course, it did rain and so I set out in search of a clothes airer so that I could dry the laundry inside. And while I was at it, I tried to get some more clothes pegs too. Turns out they are quite difficult to find. I tried several stores before being directed to a little hardware store on Shoe Lane. I got everything I needed there. In the end, it was so cold and damp that we had to turn the heating on in the hobbit house, and so I had a third laundry option - the old English standby of draping the wet clothes over the radiators, thereby ensuring dry but stiff underwear.
