Yep, it really is ...

Did you know that this is International Clothesline Week? It really is, and it's all happening at Planet Sheffield.

I couldn’t help wondering what clotheslines do when they all meet up. I guess they get to hang out together, moan about the heavy work-load, how they’re stretched from pillar to post. There may be a lot of hot air about how they constantly get put upon, strung along, and then hung out to dry. How shirty their owners get with them, how it’s all pants. I expect there may well be a few wanting to throw in the towel, thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the garden fence.

Still, there’s always the finest of Sheffield’s hostelries to console them as they unwind, get a few under their belts, are propped up by a few sturdy Poles at some point and then finally peg out …

I asked mine if it knew about International Clothesline Week, but it wasn’t saying much. Sulking, I expect. I’m keeping it indoors, well tied-up, in case it’s tempted to make a break for it.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
(I think I feel a layout coming on ...)

OK, so there should be warning not to drink anything whilst reading your blog posts - have just spat tea all over my keyboard!

You simply HAVE to photograph your clothes line and create a LO from this.

Thanks for a great start to my day - hehehe.

Well, don't you learn something new every day! Gave me a great smile and now I'll go and give my clothesline an appreciative pat on the head on the way past.

I can see I'm going to have to be careful where I read your posts Alexa this one had me laughing out loud - luckily there is no one around to wonder if I've lost my marbles. My clothesline is doing a stirling job today :-)

I believe my love affair with my clothesline has been well documented. And yes, indeed, I do peg my laundry out in colour order ... nothing wrong with that. My only issue is, I have some washing ready to hang out as I write this. It's been raining for days, but not today. Dare I risk it? I think I must for how can allow Clothesline week go unrecorded?

For the record, mine is retractable.

So there!

:)

In order of colour? Rainbow-wise? Now, that's seriously impressive, Julie. I hope your retractable clothesline will get a chance to stretch its legs today!
