Oh joy!

Hope there's a good outcome for you somewhere there. When ours carked about 8 years ago it scattered bits all through the load that was on. Do you have a laundromat that's close?

Thanks Moginie, what I have is the sweethearted 'Dr' Colin the washing machine repairman, who will be out tomorrow on a Sunday morning on a house call to see the patient.
Don't you love good 'old fashioned' service from an independant operator, I know I do.
It's probably the motherboard that has carked it, which might have to be sent away to be done.
Either way I'll know by tomorrow.
The machine a Fisher and Paykel, that was the last model to be built in NZ before they went off shore to China, is worth fixing rather than junking.

As to laundromats, yes, one a block away but over 35 years ago when I went there and saw someone had dumped a full ashtray in one of the machines I've never trusted it. The guy that owns it, who I've known around and about for 30 + years, lives behind the joint and spies through the peephole, is one creepy character who makes your skin crawl and never cleans the machines. I don't fancy getting ringworm any time soon.
The better option is up the road beside the Greek church on Lygon, if I have to but I have faith in Colin's ministrations.
Just one of those weeks!
So bless the Colins and repairman ilk of this town, may they live long and fruitful lives because we need them.

The old new:

What’s So New About the ‘New Right’?

JD Vance and his allies represent a mind-set that dates back to the McCarthy era and the dawn of the Cold War.

The new old:

Can Dirt Clean the Climate?

An Australian start-up is hoping fungi can pull carbon dioxide from the air and stash it underground. It’s one of several ventures trying to deploy the superpowers of soil to slow global warming.

I've got a version that Yes did of this song. I think they did two separate versions. Jon Anderson's voice sails over the lyrics. It's an much more energetic version too.

I used to quite often open my radio show with this one. It is a fantastic version.

The Josh Hawley comment; “If conservatives care about healthy towns and schools and churches, as they always say they do, they should support the kind of work and wages that nourish those institutions and make them possible,” really triggered me because they are the same people who have decried a fair wage and supported the evil neoliberal policies that have destroyed the "healthy towns and schools and churches".
