I have a dryer but never use it to save electricity, always hang the washing out on the line when I can, and in the winter or wet weather I use a clothes horse and dry them indoors. I have neighbours who always use a dryer even when the weather is good - doesn't make sense to me to pay for something you could do for free (and help the planet!)

I am somewhere in between. I do have a dryer which I use sometimes, but I use the washing line outside when I can and have clothes horses indoors when I can’t.

Amen. I've always enjoyed hanging out clothes. If it rains I get an extra rinse. I do have allergies but I still find I like my clothes better.

For a very long time I did not have a dryer. But now I do. I use it when it rains. As we only do washing once a week.

I'm going to think on clothes horses. I've done that too. My problem is I'm older and not in the best of health YET. My brothers clothes are another story. I like hanging my clothes on a plastic hanger and air drying. My brother wouldn't understand that concept yet...you can always fluff them in a dryer.

Good mornooning everyone. It’s Tuesday :) I am waiting for my Supermarket shop to be delivered and then I shall need to find something to keep my brain busy while my activity is reduced. Honestly, I would rather have that cough and chest infection. At least I didn’t care that I couldn’t do much!
I never want that back again. I still have a bit of a cough.

No I don't think you did, those are incredible trees.
I lived down in Louisiana for my younger years. Where we went fishing, there were so many cypress trees and stump. From what I hear now, they are protected.

Well, I am caught up again! Found out the other day, my sulcata Shorty, is a he! First time a tort has flashed me. He is only about 8 inches long and 5lb 14oz. He is finally starting to gain weight. Now if my bigger ones would just let me know. I think one is female and one is male but I can not tell. I will have to post pictures to see what you think.

Glad you're feeling better from getting a flue. I'm looking forward to seeing a turdess flash me from a picture instead of real life.
