A small kitchen in a terraced house in the West Midlands on a grey November morning, misted window glass above the sink, under the worktop a boxy white front-loading washing machine with a cream top plate, across its full width an olive-beige control panel with a plain grid of fine lines, a dark strip with one small green light glowing, below it a row of round cream push buttons, blank and unmarked, a grey-white porthole ring with its glass door standing open onto a stainless steel drum, a plastic laundry basket of folded towels on brown patterned linoleum, a hand in a cardigan sleeve pressing one round button.
