Things That I Like

A thing that I like is line dried clothes.

It is only relatively recently that this has been an option for me. For over ten years I lived either in a flat or in a university residence and so there was a distinct lack of options for drying outside. Most of that time I did not have a tumble dryer either (only the halls of residence times), and my clothes mostly smelled damp.

I am not a particular fan of tumble dryers. They are enormously resource heavy and my electricity bill is really quite high enough. I'll admit, though, that when it is cold and gloomy and it takes so long for your clothes to dry inside that they get a bit musty, I have often wished I had one.

However, as I say: line drying! I love that they smell nice: not musty, not of cooking smells, just clean and fresh. No one has invented a product that can do this yet. Somehow they feel softer too.

That, my friends, is my positive for this gloomy Sunday morning.
