Try living in Wales at the moment! Presumably it is acceptable to contribute to global warming by using the tumble dryer instead. I'd stamp my feet if I were you and demand a community drying area. <BR/>Glad to have stumbled upon your blog.

We have relatives who live in a development where laundry is only allowed to be hung out between certain hours of the day, and not on weekends, effectively banning it.<BR/><BR/>Of course, 4 years later, DH has still not installed the rotary washing line we brought from our old house :-( Some neighbours just had a beautiful washing line installed, and other neighbours are already coveting it, so I think we'll be OK when we finally put ours up. I do have a clothes horse - no problem buying them around here.Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648390704444086161.post-25061441592199085442008-08-29T13:11:00.000-07:002008-08-29T13:11:00.000-07:00It's like something off Desperate Housewives alrea...It's like something off Desperate Housewives already!

Sad reflection on my life that a clothes airer is one of my treasured possessions.<BR/><BR/>Do we call them clothes horses in Britain? I rather think we do. Try asking for a clothes horse in Walmart and see what happens. Dare you.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't the word 'subdivision' sound terribly mathematical for somewhere you live? Always sounds to me like it comes out of Brave New World, or something.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
