My neighbour has had his washing hanging out since Tuesday. It's been dry, got rained on and got dry again at least once.
And to top that, he has to walk past it every day to get his scooter out of the garden.
I'm going to burn it.

Do you have the same neighbour as me Jason?

If I hung my washing out someone would pinch it off the line :-(

Do you live in Leamington FJ? If not, then it's unlikely.
A clothes prop, Cat?

I wish I could hang my washing outside... I have no outside space. I love the smell of washing that's been hung in the fresh air to dry.

I'm not going to risk hanging my washing out today, it looks like it's going to chuck it down any minute.

Inspired by this thread I've just been and hung out the washing in the garden. It's the most fun I've had all day

I always rinse my cap after a run and leave it to dry on the tap that bends over the sink.

Mrs B never complains - that woman is a saint.

Today I've done some weeding, cut, drilled and painted a batten, planted my spuds, cut down a penstemon which had pegged it.

Erm, that's it.

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'.
