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!

We forgot to put a wash on while we were out for our walk. We've done a load and it's just gone out. May be ready for the airing cupboard by bedtime.

Another load of washing on the line early this morning. Once again the sun 🌞 is beating down from a cloudless sky.

Hot here and about to peg out

I kind of miss pegging out in full winter clothing then coming in to warm my hands in a bowl of hot water

I have washing out and it's dry although we have very little sun today - it's humid.

ION I bought replacement descaler cartridges for my steam generator in the hopes that will stop the brown powder marks I occassionally get on my clothes. Reading about it I was supposed to replace every 3 months or so if you live in a hard water area which we don't but 6 years was probably stretching a bit. I even had to Google how to replace it ;-)

A steam generator Lip Gloss! What the hell is that, I’ve never heard of one of them before.

It sounds like some old machine from the early day’s of the Industrial Revolution. Did poor orphans operate them & have to be careful not get tangled in the machinery?

I’ll have to Google this, over a cup of tea 🍵 tea of course.

Everything here has dried perfectly and gone straight back in drawers. Only 1 thing to add to the ironing pile.

For lovers of the art of hanging the washing out:

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 :)
