Then I bought a front loader. I’m a convert. I do much less hand washing as it can handle delicates and woollens so gently. <br /><br />It is interesting to read about the vaccines. They’ve only just started here in Australia. I’m off to see if I can find out what the ten days thing is. Can you enlighten me?<br /><br />Lucinda at https://lucindasans.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-70077576319392131722021-02-28T10:00:07.804-07:002021-02-28T10:00:07.804-07:00I've had some of that cabin fever too, whew.

That has to be encouraging. I'm anxious to get my second dose. Just wanted to throw out an observation regarding washers. The retirement home we purchased recently, had a newer set of front loaders. They work very well, but it nearly kills my back to do the necessary drying of the gasket around the door of the washer. I guess it becomes a haven for mold if you don't dry it. Plus, I prop the door open (not nearly as easy as keeping the lid up on a top loader)for 24 hrs after each use. I'll use the set until they need replacing, but I won't buy a frontload washer again.

You aren't now but it's something to factor in to your decision.<br /><br />Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-36203548592390399412021-02-27T17:43:00.990-07:002021-02-27T17:43:00.990-07:00Glad you are feeling better and of course looking ...Glad you are feeling better and of course looking forward to spending time with your daughter and SIL.

I wish I had my ancient Maytag back!<br />I am now supposedly fully inoculated, but I will still only go places wearing a mask and will also refrain from going to a restaurant, other than picking up curbside to take home and eat.
