Laura (and Calvin and Hobbes): China to Scotland

Saturday, November 22, 2008 - I love seeing laundry on the iine




The boys are off with their father to Chinese school today; the choir that has welcomed me here is performing next weekend, so I stayed home to work on the music for a few hours.  The weather is close to freezing, so I washed the boys' and my lighter jackets and sent the lads off in their cuddly coats.

Our movers arrive on Thursday, so this is our last weekend to think through what needs doing.  So far, at the new house, we have dealt with damp, woodworm, mice, mice again and a wrecked bathroom.  The walls are being painted slowly, and we are shutting our eyes for the moment to various inherited design disasters.

You get used to design disasters frighteningly quickly and then you turn round and realise you have been living with them for ten years.
I love frozen washing on the line. It has the children in stitches!

When I was in Ecuador I had to dry on a line. I learned to loathe laundry more than I do at home where it grows into piles taller than one can imagine. You are a better woman than I. I now covet my dryer.
