This Week's Unexpected Constraint

I've just discovered that, aside from today and tomorrow, the whole week is going to be rainy. Which means I have to get the washing done and out on the line pretty much today and tomorrow so it has a chance to dry. Plus, of course, our old washing machine takes about two hours to run a load through, so it's going to be a long process. In summer, of course, I do about one load a day, and it dries quickly. But, drattit, it isn't summer any more.

I think I'd better set up the drying rack in the garage. I get the feeling I'm going to be needing it.

(Before anyone asks: no, we don't own a clothes dryer. Nor do we have the space to be putting one).

I own a clothes dryer. At the end of last winter it decided to partially die. It still turns. It still heats. It doesn't extract the heat, so what you end up is with steaming hot damp clothes.

I'd only really been using it for emergencies. I'm thinking I'm going to have to get a bigger clothes rack. I did some at the weekend and hung the dampest ones that didn't dry on the line on my eensy-weensy rack.
