laundry...

A first for me to do laundry like this. This is in Letichiv- at least there's a machine (known as 'machynka'- which is the affectionate little diminutive form of the word; I could get affectionate for it, all right, since it saves some of the back ache of doing sheets and towels by hand)...

so, here's the little beastie:





toss in the sheet... watch it disappear






all this little thing does is agitate the laundry for about 6 min... but it beats scrubbing away by hand!







Take it out of the water and 'akuratno' (ie carefully- we must maintain balance here) place it in the extractor:







which does its magic. After that, it's back to the tub where you rinse in lots of water and then back to the extractor to spin again...and then hang on a rack. Dries in no time flat and Presto! You're done! yay!
