Meh. Who wants to reach up above their head, tearily squinting into the sun while pegging stuff up in the atmosphere, only to be stuck in a torrential downpour while miserably unpegging stuff a few hours later? (Added complication: low BP after taking my medication makes me a bit woozy after 15 minutes with my hands above my head pegging stuff up there.)
I never use my line for anything other than sheets and towels: airers all the way. And the occasional trampoline.
Plus, our clothesline is on the shady side of the house, grr.
All true. My clothesline gets sun most of the day. And my teeny yard is on a slant... plus Melbourne is very windy, so putting an airer out there can be a disaster! :) I use the over-door variety inside, and sometimes I put an airer over the heating vents... but they're a little too tempting for a certain small cat...
I'm loving your vocabulary! Here we would called them drying racks, pegging would be hanging. but as Jen said, we would use a good old fashion dryer. AND if that dryer is broken, then you would use all the backs of various chairs found inside your home.
I use a dryer in winter because it rains a lot, but it pretty much doubles my electricity bill so there's no way I'll use it if the sun is available. And I have lots of clothes that can't go in the dryer without shrinking so I still have to put them on a clothes horse inside if it's raining.
Send us some sprinkles of your rain. I like your airers and your good use of the trampoline. My mom used (drying racks as we call them)them in her laundry room. I should get one. I like the idea of putting it outside and moving it around. We can not put up clothes lines in our neighborhood. ♥ Joy
?? Don't you own a clothesline??

And and and ... You can move the airers around to get the best sun in winter, and also when you do a late load at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can race out and grab them, and leave them undercover or inside overnight if things aren't fully dry.
And and and ...
I keep thinking of ways that airers are just so cool.
As are trampolines. Not that you can leave them inside overnight.

ReplyDeleteAh yes, I can understand that!
ReplyDeleteIf you would just use a dryer then you wouldn't have to worry about the weather. ;)

ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of clothes.

ReplyDeleteMaybe I should use airers too, there seems to be an aweful lot of benefits! lol
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we don't own a trampoline [yet] but nice to know the many uses it holds aswell! hehe
(I am so sick of the rain, I hope you guys have been getting as much as we have!)

ReplyDeleteI have two airers that I use only indoors. Why have I never thought to roam them around outside?!
