a twin tub

This weekend has been really clear. The Kathmandu haze seemed to lift revealing tall, snow-capped mountain peaks, which although distant, are breathtaking and tantalizing all in one go. I cant wait to get closer to them.

Other excitements involved shopping in fandabluous craft shops, going to a Nepali film festival and most exciting of all playing with my new twin-tub washing machine. Although a washing machine is more expensive than a didi (washing woman) for various reasons it seems a lot less hassle to do it myself. However spending loads of cash on a automatic washing machine seems pointless so I have the cheap skate option - A twin tub. Now I am fairly experienced in the ways of twin tubs, growing up we had one which I remember constantly flooding the utility room… and of course Ro had one in Mongolia which seemed the height of luxury every time I went up to UB. Basic principle of a twin tub involves transferring washing between 2 tubs depending on whether youre washing/rinsing/spinning.
According to the brochure my tub has the following features:
· ‘updated squelch technology’.
· ‘Beautiful design of outlook’.
The brochure also warns me that ‘clothes of puff’ must go into a washing net bag and that laundry should be able to ‘gyrate enough in the wash tub’.
What more could a girl want????

Ps Pebar the houseboy is well worth the money. The place sparkles!
