Where do all the pegs go?
Today, Simon mentioned we needed to buy more pegs. I asked why. He said because they tend to disappear like socks in the washing machine.
Out of all the housework that I do, the one thing I dislike the most has always been my laundry. I don't know why. It's quite easy to do, you just load it all in and press the button. When it's done you take it out. But I always forget to hang it - hanging laundry for me is like doing the dishes for Simon (my flatmate), it might overlap a day. And then the clothes has that damp smell - ew. So I have to wash them again!! >.<
In Wellington, laundry has an added difficulty - the weather. On a typical week, you may have two (2) days of rain, two (2) days of wind and odd days of rain and wind with some days being windier than others. In these conditions, laundry must be timed precisely. And if you're out of synch or not at home on those windows of opportunity when the southerly is good and the rain clouds are away on a two (2) day sabbatical, well - Bad luck! You better have a huge supply of underwear.
On those windier than thou days, the clothes blows around and around the line wrapping two clothes lines together until, really, pegs are not needed. And the pegs, they fly away with the clothes that are not so lucky to be tangled up... so I discovered where the pegs went. Hmm what we need are some Hurricane Grip ones
