Storms


We've just had 2 days of storms here, (this photo was taken the day before) so has the rest of the country and it's been warmer than usual. Last week my daughter and I made use of the one local laundromats in town (I think we have 2 or 3 - not sure) and took one of our duvet inners in as our washing machine isn't big enough to take it. While we were there I was amazed to see how popular these places are, seems to alot of people who don't have washing machines.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday, Little Things Thursday and Tom's Signs.

When you think about it, a washing machine is a big investment...

Stay safe, with all the storms about x

Looks deserted probably because of the storm forecast.

Is that the roundabout in Tainui street? The town has changed a lot since I lived there. Looks like a good west coast downpour was on the way :)

There used to be loads of laundromats around but now I don't know of one. They were a favourite haunt for students.

The laundromats here are mainly for yachties and tourists. There are 3 laundromats on an island with a population of 4,000....but 10,000 in the summer. I take our winter blankets for washing and any big covers. Theyre not automatic. You take your washing in and pick it up 2 hours later. And its not cheap either

It's good that people are staying in during the storm. Stay safe!

Yep, the home washers we buy here would be overleaded with a duvet so we take them to the cleaners.


Back in the day when I worked summers as an oilfield roustabout I spent hours in laundromats. Hated it.
