I can now do laundry in the rain!!!!

Well, since moving to NZ I have learned to be much more "green". I mean, I have always recycled, tried to avoid using plastic bags, changed my light bulbs to the enviro friendly type, etc, etc. However I always used a clothes dryer and never really gave much thought about not using one unless of course it stated on the tag "lay flat to dry".

Clothes dryers are not as common Down Under as the are in the Northern Hemisphere. In fact I have not had one for the last year and a half, that is until today, well yesterday actually!! Well after too much rain and not enough clean clothes I decided it was time.

I am the proud new owner of a washer/dryer combo. No, I do not mean a stackable washer/dryer or a separate washer & dryer. I mean a combo, what is that you may ask? Well, it is just that, two, I repeat two machines in one. You put your clothes in wash 'em, leave 'em in there and dry 'em. Those crazy kiwis! Although I do have to admit I have yet to use it, what can I say, the sun is shining!
