Parallelogram: A convex quadrilateral in which each pair of opposite edges are parallel and of equal length.
Our little apartment doesn't have a washer and dryer. This is normally no big deal but we packed light for two months, counting on having a washer and dryer. The whole Nimes scaffolding debacle left us out in the cold - in our scramble to secure a place for 3 weeks on short notice that we could afford we couldn't afford to be too picky, and we were washer and dryer-less. I'm not overly fussy about clean clothes but after a couple of days there are a couple of items that I'd rather not put back on, if you get my drift.
Our temporary landlords allowed us to use the equipment in the more sumptuous apartment upstairs while it was between tenants. We were immediately faced with the French language controls - these were nicely translated by Google as long as you don't require your translated words to make sense in a washer-dryer fashion. I'm happy to "recharge the squeeze" and the like but it leaves me clueless in the actually getting my clothes clean department. Plus, there are graphics that just make no sense and Google doesn't offer a graphics auto-translator. What the hell is a little leaf blowing in the breeze mean? Or a little parallelogram?
We're pretty sure the first load didn't actually get any soap delivered during the washing cycle.
