One of the most annoying things about wet weather is not being able to dry one's washing outdoors.
We don't have a Tumble Dryer, but we do have a heated indoor rack-dryer, which takes up a lot of space. We also have several radiators that are constantly draped with damp unmentionables.
We have a neighbour in France who hangs out her washing, then simply waits as long as it takes to dry; this can be a week, two weeks, or even more, depending on the weather. I think she has the right idea. No panic!
I miss having our washing line full of flapping sun-dried and warmed clothes. To me it's as much a part of life as eating and sleeping.
I don't like rain. I have plenty of waterproof clothing, and Billy has a towel waiting for him after a wet walk, so we cope with the inconvenience.
It's having that smell of damp washing around the house which is not very nice. Can't Unilever make a washing powder that smells of Apple Pie or Roasting Turkey? It's that 'detergent' pong that I don't like.
Last year we hardly had a drop of rain; this year we're making-up for it.
False economy. Cut your cloth and clothes to your weather. Nine months of the year you live in a country where it [frequently] rains. Buy a condenser dryer [doesn't need plumbing in].
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Draping wet clothes and, presumably, towels over radiators? What a sight and smell. Welcome mould. Still, we all have to die of something sometime.
