Go Home Mr Murphy!
Of course we knew it had to happen. A dead-give away were the rusty sides and the funny grinding noises. But being the Queen of De Nile, one hopes, right?
So two weeks it died, in a sudden and dramatic moment of metal-on-metal crescendo.
And if one goes, might as well get the other replaced. Ka-ching!
Two weeks, and living on what we have. Crisis this morning. "I can't wear that today, mum! Everybody KNOWS that I wore that YESTERDAY!!!!". Followed by the call from Sears that the goods are in Calgary. Calgary is separated from Vancouver by beautiful mountain highways. Which are currently closed, due to avalanche and mudslide risk. "I'm sorry, we don't know at this time when we will be able to get it to you. If it makes you feel better, you are not the only one we had to call". Didn't really make me feel better.
I'm saving my quarters and loonies again. Local Laundromat, here we come ....
Ah, but don't they say that local laundrymats are the centre of the community, the source of chance encounters with interesting people, not to mention the chance of a ride in the dryer?
Who needs Disneyland, anyway.
