More on the laundry lady..

I brought in more clothes to have washed... and she says: "What?!? are you going to regularly bring me your clothes to wash?"

Oh, I'm sorry. Silly me for thinking a laundry place would want to do LAUNDRY. in exchange for MONEY even!

Anyway, normally she's just used to dry cleaning, and I guess its a bit of an imposition to run a load in the washer with just 3 pairs of socks. Of course, I mentioned that I don't mind if she washes the socks & the underwear & the gym clothes all together in hot.. "Oh no, the underwear have to be done at 60 degrees C, and the tshirts can't take that or they get thin."

They're not big on bleach & detergent here.. environmental reasons, and even though I told her I wouldn't mind going down to get NEW t-shirts in a few weeks if I needed to, she will ONLY do the laundry as she sees proper! Okay then, wash the 3 pairs of socks alone, and I'll see you on Friday with money in hand.

Swimming was great last night. We did 1850 meters, including some butterfly, and fat-boy me has moved up to lead the fast lane. Am I being too competitive? I would like to lose some weight, but I suspect having a beer after workout is defeating the purpose. Yeah, and the fried mushrooms I had for dinner as well last night. The other thing that came out of dinner was that I worked myself into a dinner tonight with a couple of the people from the team at someone's house. Will be nice to be in a house for an evening I think.
