Laundry
I'm starting to feel better, but it's not like I've been pushing it today. Weather has been miserable, and the only good thing about it is that we get to watch the clouds hanging so low they cover tops of the highest buildings, which looks pretty cool this high up.
As far as news go, most exiting thing I did today was some laundry - you might not think that's too interesting, but it was my first laundry here. It seems pretty common here that rental places don't have their own washing machines, instead you have communial ones in the building that every one uses (as there is no place in the flat to put one in either). In our building there are laundry points in every even floor, so I need to go to floor 22 to do ours - you put the laundry in, you put in your coins ($1.50) and off it goes. Check back in about 25 minutes to get the clean laundry - or you can dry it in the tumbler if you wish, but I ran out of loonies so the laundry is drying here.
Tomorrow Dragon is off to sunny California for couple of days. Blah.

I get these weird mental images of crazy people operating the tumbler or holding up the laundry so that it would dry... :)

Loonie is a one dollar coin :) As it has a picture of a loon (kuikka) on it.
