The opening of a launderette in Monculi is to be marked on Saturday with drinks and nibbles. The launderette is not your usual but has only giant machines that can cope with duvets, curtains and other soft furnishings, and specialist machines for work clothes - Monculesi do not like to look other than clean and well turned out even in their overalls, but equally they do not like to have serious dirt going through their gleaming domestic machines.
Worryingly there is to be a special reparto (section) for washing dogs. Images of paws braced desperately against the glass and expressions more usually seen on the roller coaster at the Prater, during the final spin, are hard to brush from the mind.

You had me in stiches, but I believe it is going to be only a showering facility, or at least this is what a cartoon illustrates in their promotion material. Even so, I can't visualise four-legged clients who will not put up the most strenuous resistance.
This reminds me of my somewhat wild cousin who on receiving a daschund one year for Xmas, (we are talking many moons ago when I was a child) wanted to see if the dog could be washed in the new front loader. Mother caught it before the first spin cycle.
Over dinner there was discussion of how many washing tablets for 'dirty dog', 'very dirty dog' etc., and whether larger doga are spun at slower speeds. It was felt that lap dogs would probably do best at 1000 and could go in in pairs, while larger dogs would be slow - 600 and singles, and wolf hounds probably needed drain no spin. For the tumble - cupboard dry, anti-crease, no iron, was a fits-all choice.
And to think, dogs used to be only outside, for guarding or hunting, and washed when they crossed a torrent.
And how many cousins have you, Anon?
27 first cousins and a squillion second and third. If you come here I promise I won't introduce you to one of them.
Loved the Nativity video.
Happy New Year.
And only one of them 'somewhat wild'. Exemplary family there.
