Our washing machine - an eight month old Maytag - died this weekend.

After several long waits on the telephone the repair person will arrive next Monday.

There's a laundry a few blocks away. I haven't used a public laundry in 25 years so it feels a little weird. It's also weird that I lived in this area 35 years ago and used the same place way back when.

But clothes will get washed.

There are still public laundries in Ottawa, though fewer than when I moved here. I would prefer this trend to reverse itself, especially in case the household machines give up their own ghosts in the near future.
