It was the first rainy day we have had this spring. Dan went off to his French class at 8:00 and I slept off my sugar hangover from Friday’s Caban à Sucre. Later on I had to do the laundry so I started my first load, with two others to do. When I came down to put the first load in the dryer, I felt like I was walking into a mysertious crime scene. The washer and dryer were both akimbo, there was a broken piece of wood on the ground, and the change receptacle from the washer had actually come out! Obviously, the washer was out of commission. I guess there must have been some major imbalance although why the washer did not automatically cut out I don’t know. I was in desperate need to do the rest of the laundry, so I put the one load of washing in the dryer (which was still functional) and packed up the rest of my laundry and headed off to the laundrymat two blocks away on Fielding. Earlier that day I had went out to get groceries and my jacket was wet so I had washed it in the first load and I had managed to leave my umbrella at work on Friday. Therefore, I had no choice but to go out into the rain with just a sweater! Fortunately it wasn’t too cold or windy and the rain was not too strong. [...] [...] Satuday April 2 it rained.
