Synopsis

Herbert declares a very serious wash day. He sorts everything into careful piles, creates a timetable with far too many stages, and tries to keep the Flat on schedule. Gobii, Olaf and Saugi all help with great enthusiasm, but very little coordination.

Who's involved

Herbert is at the centre, with Gobii as enthusiastic WG manager, Olaf as an overly technical helper and Saugi as the hallway patrol. The tiny sock helper is never far from the laundry.

Beat sheet

  1. 1. The Very Serious Sorting

    Herbert sorts whites, almost-whites, things that were once white and one towel nobody can identify.

  2. 2. The Wash Plan

    Olaf helps build a timetable so complicated that Gobii needs a second timetable to understand the first.

  3. 3. The Wrong Basket

    Gobii places a mismatched sock in the wrong pile. Herbert notices immediately.

  4. 4. Spin Cycle

    The washing machine spins, socks fly and Saugi discovers that laundry day is excellent hallway entertainment.

  5. 5. Team Laundry

    Everyone folds warm laundry together while Olaf searches for step seventeen and the tiny sock helper appears in the clean pile.

  6. 6. Not Perfect, But Cozy

    One sock is slightly pink, the plan is impossible to follow and Herbert is quietly proud. Big Wash Day is a success.
