The 1950s
Our 2 week old washing machine is broken. We have to wait till after the new year until the parts arrive and are fitted. Doh. I was standing at the sink at 11 o’clock at night last night washing a sink full of clothes. Not good.
I have to say that I admire the women of the 1950s for their ability to keep up with the washing when they had large families. It must have been so hard because as far as I can understand it they did all the menial household chores on their own.
Im just amazed at how sore my back was whilst washing towels in the kitchen sink. Those 1950s women must have had chunky muscles!!!.
I am looking forward to having my washing machine working again. We have a very good friend who has let us do some washing up at his house and is going to do us the same favour tommorrow night so I can get a bit of a rest then.
