Thought I'd share a few random pics from around my laundry...
this advertisement from the 1940's found in an old French magazine...lives next to my more modern Fisher and Paykel washer.
heres the translation (thanks Babelfish ;-)
la machine a laver (the washing machine)
Mors (thats the brand name)
lave (wash) rince (rinse) essore (dry) le linge (the linen)
chauffe (heat) rechauffe (reheat) l'eau de lessive (something about water and detergent??)
So nice to go into my laundry and admire the many heavy old irons, wash board, velvet soap, Rickets blue - and not have to deal with any of it. Tip in the powder touch the buttons and walk away.
Good ol' Fisher has been doing our wash for 12 years. Hubby has had to fix its circuit board twice but apart from that - easy wash days for me....
Bit harder for this gal - thats why she has some garden friends to make her day ;-)
thats my Cora from Monday is Washing Day...
here is an unusual pic that I salvaged from a calender....a teapot iron ...odd huh?
Gotta go and hang some clothes in the sunshine....
