How to hang out washing ...

From the teaching of Saint Anley ...

It is of the utmost importance that similar items are suspended from the washing line by the same colour peg, thus:


There are three reasons for this:
First - they'll dry more quickly.
Second - it is easier to differentiate the underwear of the two genders.
Third - Jane thinks I'm autistic, and that those first two reasons are complete nonsense!

Jane is correct about the clothesline, of course. It has nothing to do with quick drying or gender differentiation. Hanging out the wash is an opportunity to give artistic expression to our obsessive compulsive tendencies. Jane has beautiful technique. It is a lovely wash line. I admire her a great deal.

But it was ME that hung out the washing! I erected the line, and I applied those clothes pegs. I take all the credit.
By the way, those garments suspended by yellow poegs took considerably longer to dry than all the others!
Q.E.D.

I should have seen it. OF COURSE it was you who hung the wash. With colored coded pegs! Brilliant. My own backyard line met its demise when the hemlock it was attached to fell down in a storm. I mostly hang the wash in the basement now. Very gloomy.

It amuses me, when hanging out the washing, that each item requiring more than one peg should be hung (hanged?) by matching pegs (colour, of course, and style). I am fortunate enough to be able to distinguish my underwear from my wife's by sight. It is only the occasional confusion, honestly, darling, which necessitates me trying your knickers on, just to see, no honestly, really OWW I promise I won't do it again.
