"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" or "Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down" because both are true. I don't mind the rain so much if I don't have to go out and get wet and have to sit in wet clothes for hours, and I suppose there's not much that can be done about Mondays except accept the fact that they come around all too soon. I'm doubly sad because my holidays have finished. Sometimes I think I was born to be a lady of leisure. LOL.Even if it continues raining tomorrow, the couple of loads of clothes that I've done this weekend should be dry thanks to my 'portable' dryer - that strange artefact in the photo. How does it work? You hang the clothes up inside and there's a little motor thing which is inserted on the side that blows the clothes dry Not many people have clothes dryers here, at least I don't know anybody who has one, the same as I don't know anyone who hasn't got a washer because laundrettes (laundromats) don't exist, only drycleaner's.
I've got rid of lots of old papers and am ready for the next batch. As I commented the other day on someone's page, there's both a paper and a bottle bank a few metres from my house. Well, the other day I saw this man taking things out of the paper bank, not putting them in. This reminded me that it might be a good idea to take my paper products to different banks, especially those that although shredded could possibly be pieced together by some crack head. Does anybody remember when we just threw away all those invitations for credit cards without bothering to shred them? Not any more!
Last night I posted one of my favourite recipes called hot fudge pudding cake. If you copied it, you might want to look at it again as I left out a couple of instructions. Here I am always complaining about how there are so many errors in people's written work because they don't bother to proofread or they rely on spell check too much.
Hope everybody has a good week and you don't get too much snow. I've been reading people's comments on global warming. We're having unusually mild weather for this time of year. I usually wear a cardigan at home because I can't stand places that are overheated. I hate going into banks for that reason. Is it because the money has to be kept warm? And speaking of money, I'm going to post a very interesting link to my friend Loretta's page. If you have a moment to spare, it won't be wasted, and I hope it makes you furious too!
I to think I was born a lady of leisure lol. I have never seen a portable dryer before, that’s a neat idea. I don’t dry a lot of my clothes, I like to hang them to dry but I’m grateful to have a dryer in the house for my sheets and towels. I saw that you add to your recipe yesterday so I added it to my copy but I will go back to make sure I got it all. I do remember the days we use to throw everything anyway without any worry. I bought a shredded for the house and use it all the time. Hope it stops raining for you.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the Monday rain. I used to face that a lot, back in the day when I had to walk from parking to my building - in a wool suit yet - smelled like a ram all day. By the time I finally learned to keep a change of clothing at the office, I got a parking space in the building - go figure. Btw, I haven't been able to tolerate wearing wool since then.
ReplyDeleteA paper shredder is an absolute necessity today. I remove address labels from boxes and pre-printed order forms and mailing envelopes from inside of magazines before I recycle them.
Better rain than snow, is what I always say. Stay safe and dry!! Yes, unfortunately we have to shred everything. I can't imagine life without my washer and dryer!! Oh my!!
ReplyDelete"Rainy days and Mondays"
ReplyDeletethat is a pretty kewl dryer..... long as it gets the job done huh. i like... thanks for sharing my world
no rain here, more snow falling tonight.............I'm getting so tired of all this snow and of always fighting against the cold.....but if the rain spoils your day, I sympathyse
ReplyDeleteUgh. looks like I might be sitting in wet clothes tomorrow as its pouring here! I shred anything that has my address on .. but a thought on your man, he may be making paper logs for the fire?? I dont know what instructions I missed from you pudding but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the one I made, so it cant be much!
ReplyDeleteI guess there are things we can live without-though we don't always want too. The washer and dryer I would miss. I been to huts where they didn't have much of a fridge neither (they used the river)We could use better clothes that really are more wash and wear.
ReplyDeleteI do get tired of shedding everthing. Some spam mail has name and such on several pages. Such a waste of trees too
how's your umbrella?
