A good day to put the washing out ...

Wonderful sky on display this afternoon to make up for the disappointment that we don't have any snow.
 
Washing machine packed in yesterday, so spent today trying to clear up the load which was in progress and dealing with all the towels that were used to mop up the spillage. No obvious source of the fault identified but the pump is suspected so ordered a replacement to see if that will fix it. It's lasted 11 years so it's done well - I have been selecting a suitable replacement should that be needed.
