Photos for Tuesday and Wednesday

On Tuesday, I went down to see about pushing a few loads of laundry through only to find that the towels I'd stuck in the dryer still weren't dry... and remembered that when I'd started them earlier, they'd already been sitting in the dryer and I'd wondered then if they'd already gone through one cycle in the dryer. So, by this point they'd gone through at least once, potentially twice and still weren't dry. I started them again and realized that the laundry room was quickly filling with the smell of dryer lint. Not good! In the end, rackham had to pull both the washer and dryer away from the wall to get at the venting for it... and discovered quite a buildup of lint in the "cage" over the vent outside the house. Oops.

Way down south of Seattle, there's a butcher shop called Proper British Bacon... specializing in British meats, along with some other items (British and not). It's a bit of a drive to get there, so I've never gone, but once a month or so, they do deliveries to Microsoft's main campus... and this time I actually got an order in for some things! So on Wednesday, I made my way to Redmond and met up with the folks from Proper British Bacon to pick up a haggis, a pound of proper British bacon and two frozen pork pies.
