I’ve been putting it off for a couple of days now, so there was no way to really avoid doing laundry today. My flatmate’s pointed out that I have enough clothes that I could probably just wear clean stuff for the month. It’s the upside of being a hoarder. But as I’m trying to live my life as normally as possible on minimal water, I’m trying to make a point of doing laundry each week.
I’ve gone slightly over my limit today with a total of 29.3 litres used so far. However, given that I currently have about 70 litres of water “banked”, that is, left over from other day’s when I used less than 25 litres, I don’t feel to badly about it.
If you’re wondering how I manage to laundry on a water diet, watch on….

Great Clip Alina,
Not dissimilar from doing washing out in the back country really – it just takes more time. Great to hear that your flat mates are supportive too. Love Jost

Thanks dad! Yes indeed, just like the backcountry. We take for granted these days how much modern machines save us time!
