Dear dear Flickr Friends,
I am feeling so very much better today. Yesterday I spent most of the day on top of the washing machine as you can see here. It was really warm and restful out there on the balcony. This morning I ran around a played chase with Kita until both of us were ready for a long long nap.

The wash trough was a useful invention with rinsing water in the two sides. Clothes were taken from the hand pumped washing machine and placed in the trough to rinse and then in the second tub for a final rinse. The hand turned wringer was a great assitance to remove most of the water.
After a light exterior cleanup I decided to snap a shot of the washer's control panel. This is a MOL (middle of the line) model and is a 2-speed unit with 3 wash temperatures, 4 water levels and 3 separate fabric cycles. This machine also has a bleach dispenser, ramped agitator and Hotpoint's version of the GE Filter-Flo lint filtration system.
If you already haven't done so do yourself a favor and check out the washing machine that Angie posted.
Expired 35mm film, first put through the washing machine, then dried ( in a dark room) with hairdryer before shooting.The results are a bit more subtle than the roll I put through the dishwasher.

It must have come in on some clothes and gone through all the cycles without any sign of damage, then made its way to the top of the machine. When I saw it, it was just standing stock still. Wondering where to go next, I guess. . . . . photo KR
The old washer dryer that came with the house still worked, though the washer leaked a little and a knob on the dryer was broken so the only setting it had was high. So it was kind of time for them to go. As I was cleaning up, I found the original delivery receipt, dated August 26, 1988 - 25 years ago that very month. I hope our new washer and dryer last even half that long.

Part of the street art installation - i'm attributing it to Will Coles, but i could be wrong. There was a couple of his coke can's in the area as well as a 'gothic'.
