A Monday Morning With A Blue Sky, Yippee !

Parts of Europe will heave a sigh of relief.

For one thing, these last few weeks, the Weatherman has not been as good as he should be. Bob delights in reading the weather prediction for the week, and then being a ' slight ' bit derogatory towards the poor Weatherman when he happens to get it wrong !

Anyway, today the sky is bright and blue as far as you can see and it bodes well for the day and week. Normally the weather doesn't bother me too much, but when it is freezing, raining or snowing for weeks on end, it makes doing the laundry rather an adventure.

We don't have a tumble dryer by choice. Coming from Africa, that modern contraption was rather unnecessary..a few hours on the washing line and before you could say; " Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt " it was dry.

During the summer here in Burgenland, hanging washing outside on the line works like a charm. Winter has proven to be a bit of a ' poser '.

We've got a little clothes dryer stand and it's taken up residence in the bathroom. Luckily we don't get too many visitors as undergarments ( his & hers ) are for some unexplained reason always prominently displayed ! Oh well, I am sure we are not the only one with this problem. Regardless it does the trick, albeit a bit slower.

So, today the sun is blessing us with a visit and there will be furious activities all over. Outside, washing lines will boast an array of linen, gardens will be dug in with great gusto and dogs will delight in having free reign of their gardens ! Almost like a hive of ants emerging...
Oh, isn't life fabulous !

How do you manage doing your laundry in a northern winter ?

Bob is hanging washing on our line. It is a picture from last summer though.
