We forgot to put a wash on while we were out for our walk. We've done a load and it's just gone out. May be ready for the airing cupboard by bedtime.

It was dry enough for the airing cupboard. Duvet cover in machine with timer on ready to go overnight.

Another load of washing on the line early this morning. Once again the sun 🌞 is beating down from a cloudless sky.

Hot here and about to peg out

I kind of miss pegging out in full winter clothing then coming in to warm my hands in a bowl of hot water

I have washing out and it's dry although we have very little sun today - it's humid.

ION I bought replacement descaler cartridges for my steam generator in the hopes that will stop the brown powder marks I occassionally get on my clothes. Reading about it I was supposed to replace every 3 months or so if you live in a hard water area which we don't but 6 years was probably stretching a bit. I even had to Google how to replace it ;-)

A steam generator Lip Gloss! What the hell is that, I’ve never heard of one of them before.

It sounds like some old machine from the early day’s of the Industrial Revolution. Did poor orphans operate them & have to be careful not get tangled in the machinery?

I’ll have to Google this, over a cup of tea 🍵 tea of course.

Washing out since lunchtime and ready to come in. Daughter's bedding can go straight back on the bed too.

Everything here has dried perfectly and gone straight back in drawers. Only 1 thing to add to the ironing pile.
