#clothesline

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

This is how to dry clothes when you don't have back yard space for a regular clothes line. Today we installed this retractable clothes line in a small courtyard outside. Now we won't have to rely on an unsightly clothes horse covered with damp clothes in the lounge during wet weather.

We ended up ordering this line from Italy. Many body corporates who govern apartment buildings in Australia ban the drying of clothes on balconies thus killing the market for these kind of clothes lines here. In Australia you generally have a choice of the aforementioned clothes horse or a costly and not so environmentally friendly (but neater-looking) tumble dryer.

#OTD Muriel Stuart, #English #Poet and #Writer, died.

#MacDiarmid thought she was the best #Scottish #Renaissance #Poet (#Female).

In #Midlife, Muriel gave up #Poetry for #Garden #Writing.

In her #Book, #Fool's Garden (1936), she wrote,

"Even the #Tiniest garden... is #Ennobled by #Planting #Trees.

Otherwise, the #Walls #Lean in, & there is nothing to #Lift your garden above the #Eye... to #Hide the peering #Windows, #Lavatory & #Clothesline of the #House next door."
