I got some bedding mostly dried on Saturday. First of the year. It’s been raining continually last 2 days so no outdoor washing.

Mine is on the radiators. There’s a lot of running kit, which I’m taking to be a positive, especially a pair of very brief shorts

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 :)
