Saturday and Sundays in Europe

It seems as though much of the city is closed on the weekend except for bars and night clubs. My teammate thought it was probably a good thing that things close so that you are forced to hang out with your family. I am not sure if "forced" is a good word for it but that's the reality. I forget that outside of the United States, there aren't many countries that believe in 24 hour/7 day a week convenience.

Today's tasks include trying to find a gym to work out at. That is no easy task considering that everything is always closed. I'm just glad that I know enough yoga to do a practice/workout in the mornings at the apartment I am staying at.

My roommate arrived yesterday afternoon and it's great having someone around. Although I do have to admit that I am not the greatest at being quiet and tip toeing around when they are still asleep. I think one of my sister's old roommate's used to call me T-Rex when I went to visit her. Meaning that I have the tendency to stomp around the house and wake everyone up.

There isn't much else going on this morning. The one thing that I do have to accomplish today is figuring out the washer/dryer combination. I can't seem to get the thing to dry my clothes. Yesterday my clothes were spining on the "dry mode" for about 160 minutes and they still came out hot and wet. Not a good combination. Oh well.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

If a dryer is working correctly but clothes are still coming out hot and wet---check the lint trap and the air-flow beyond the lint trap (if accessible) and check the air-flow coming out the back of the unit. (clothes being hot means there is not a problem with the heat element/gas line)
The air flow being blocked by accumulated lint is the most common reason for the problem you decribe. You would be shocked at how much lint can back up. I hope this is your problem, as it is very easy and very fast to fix yourself.

hot and wet is where it's at.
