Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ooer Jock!

I have washing on the line, hopefully it won't snow today and the washing can be brought in dry on the same day.

There’s so much crud flying round I think my washing would end up dirtier if left outside

Oh dear Jock, let's hope you've got another pair.

The washing on our rotary clothes line is whizzing round at top speed at the moment. I better go & check that it's still all there.

I ran the 7 miles to our daughters this morning. It was like running in treacle. I got blown to a standstill on more than one occasion.

One wash done and the next one hung out. Drying overnight will save me a job to do tomorrow morning even though it won't be that warm!

Washing hung out at lunchtime. Neighbours have since [yet again] lit a barbecue without a courtesy "do you mind?" So, instead of 'summer breeze' the washing will now have the aroma of 'charcoal briquette smoke.'

Thankfully, the next batch is still in the washing machine.

Washing out on the line at 8.30 this morning.

Just got back from a long run over the Downs & the washing is bone dry. A happy fluffing day here in West Sussex.

Wild day here. You’d need some strong pegs if you were to put washing out today

Disaster 1step!

I've not risked it today. The clouds here are dark and when the rain comes it's been heavy.

Washing just hung out. It was wet this morning but just back from dog walk and it's perfect drying conditions.

For lovers of the art of hanging the washing out:

Weather forecast: Shall I hang my washing or not ? Check here:

bbc.co.uk

Terminology: 'Fluffing' -- Going out and runninng your hands over the washing just to feel whether still moist. Sometimes not needed but we all like to fluff

'Melvyn' - where you run you fingers through your washing, you think it's damp but you're not sure. It could be dry. You leave out or take in? you've done a Melvyn'.

Also for sharing photos of 'Extreme pegging'. Plastic or wooden they are all embraced here :)
