Ladies night at the laundromat tonight, two whole dryers going when I walked in, not a person to be found, so, started my washing, browsed around for things like breadmakers, things to cut other things and a random of "I miss my transformers toys, what can I find..." and in walks contestant #1.
Dressed all in black carrying a tiny basket, she walks to the dryer and her phone rings. Granted, wasn't paying enough attention to the convo but after the "hello" she drops her basket and buggers off outside for 10 minutes. I say 10 minutes because my washing had all of 12 minutes left at that stage, with about 1 minute left, still on the phone, she walks in, unloads both dryers, without breaking stride, phone to ear gossiping holding basket and out the door she goes.
Well, that was interesting, think it was time for music at that point whilst I switched to drying as I now had soggy clothes in my own.
Rather uneventful after that, everyone relatively fully clothed, just walking in empty handed walking out with one of pizza boxes or paper that contained fish & chips, meanwhile Gunners turned into Survivor into Whitesnake on the rando music playing and me ruminating on if I could be bothered cooking dinner (spoiler: I could not) and outside;
Yet another woman, this time just average but in blue jacket, blue pants, blue hair, blue bag, blue shirt parks her white with blue trim 4WD and steps out, stumbles up to the footpath to the shop, and she walks out with... wait for it...
Waaaait for it....
Winfield original Blues.
Walks back to her 4WD and buggers off.
Anyway tldr: pilates paying off for the 4/5pmers, hell if I know if it's a 1 or 2 hours sesh, anyway, yogapants aplenty and some firm tushes running away from that door.
I remember back in the day, i'd go to a laudromat on like a wednesday night in footascray.
It was alway empty, i'd bring stubbies or a bottle of wine, battery cassette player, blasting out Accadacca or Yes or pink floyd or .....could have been anything.
I'd be sitting reading a book. Nothing ever happened.
Eventually i bought a washing machine on trading post
