Thank you SRS. The wringer was so much easier than doing the wash by hand and washboard that it seemed a disaster when its agitator wore out. Well, it was a disaster, come to think of it :) I can almost remember the pure pleasure of using modern appliances. What we have is better than what we had, and I'm grateful.

Can't use the dryer until I manage the nursery battle, and I haven't managed that yet.
