Laundry

I am going to explain the long process of washing clothes CCSP style. On the side of the house there is an old bathtub on top of it they have built a counter with two sinks that drain into the bathtub. One sink you fill with detergent and water (from the hose) the other sink is filled with clean water. You scrub your clothes with a
washboard; yes you read correct a WASHBOARD! Then you rinse them off in the other sink and ring them out with something that looks like two connected rolling pins. Then you hang them on the line and pray it doesn’t rain. When that is complete you get on a bike that has a pump connected to it, the tub and a hose used to water the gardens. You have to bike for about five minutes to empty out the bathtub and get that water into the hose to water the gardens. This process takes about two hours. Needless to say, today I am opting to bike 10 minutes with a backpack full of clothes to the laundry mat.
