My #OptOut #SpendingStrike post today is about line drying clothes. A friend tells me that in US this was just not done, would draw complaints from neighbours when she lived in US 30 years ago. Is this still so? I love the smell of line dried sheets, and sun is such a good disinfectant, and driers are such energy sucking short lived appliances. It's a wet day here, but still, the clothes will at worst get another rinse in sweet smelling, soft rain water.

Toot

@lindawoodrow I miss my old rotary clothes line, which died a long time ago. I have a fold down one now, but there was something about the rotary one, the way it caught breezes, I used to love.

I dry my clothes outside as much as possible, and over heater vents in the floor when the weather is too wet. I won't have a drier, altho understand why people with kidlets might prefer to have one for emergencies.

Perhaps people in the US should just put up higher fences, like we do here.
