How to Hand Wash My Clothes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having grown up with a washing machine in the house I had never had any need to hand wash my clothes ever. Then when I rented a flat here while I was starting to learn Spanish<\/a> I realised with a jolt that there was not only a lack of washing machine in the place but also a distinct lack of laundrettes nearby as well. Out on the balcony there was a big concrete sink type thing which I guessed was to wash my clothes in. I tentatively dipped my dirty clothes in it and do you know what? I absolutely loved it. Since I was leading a routine free life I could get up at 8 in the morning. Ok, make that 10. I would then go out to the balcony and enjoy the morning sun while washing stuff and listening to the radio. It might sound a bit boring but I passed months doing this and kind of miss it now.<\/p>\n

How to Make Lemonade<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who knew that this was so easy? I certainly didn\u2019t. I drunk a lovely cold jar of lemonade with my lunch just about every day and then decided to find out how to make the stuff. I won\u2019t give away my secret recipe and all I can say is that it involves lemons, water and sugar. Oops.<\/p>\n
