In and Out..

Out most of the day yesterday so it was in today. Doesn't do to go out every day, anyway we were up late this morning because of getting up early yesterday!! Not early risers that's the problem.
Not really a day you want to go out today anyway, it's very grey and overcast and really raining quite hard now. The cats go out and hurriedly run back in again with wet furry bodies. horrible to stroke. poor little things, they are waiting for the sunshine again to get some fresh air.
I wanted to finish off a letter I was doing to go in John's birthday parcel this morning so that's mainly what I did. Vin got the washing on, which is going in the tumble drier. Wonder how they managed years ago? i have a memory of clothes maidens round the fire on a Monday with steaming washing drying on them. gosh they must have had a hard life really compared to us nowadays.  Our first washing machine was a small Hoover with a mangle on the top, that was in the early seventies and that was hard enough. We had a spin drier that used to move across the kitchen when it was going :) We don't know we are born these days really.
Tonight we are having:
Escalope with gruyere cheese
A selection of veggies from M&S
Baby potatoes boiled and baked
Hollandaise sauce.

my first washing machine was one you put on the draining board! and was only big enough to hold one sheet. After the wash straight into the spin-dryer under the sink lol those were the days - don't wish them back as far as washing is concerned.

Too true! Washing hung out in all weathers.
Those poor women must have worked so hard.
