ALT TEXT: Cartoon of two women in the backyard looking at clothes drying on the traditional washing line. One of them jokes: “It dries the washing using the very latest technology — a combination of solar and wind power”

    I do this. Unfortunately, you have to be able to time your laundry to sunny weather. We put laundry out yesterday when it was sunny and blue skies, and it poured overnight. So now we have to do laundry again.

    Works great when the weather cooperates though.

      I find weather forecasts reliable.

      In Sydney recently it was raining all week but two days of sunshine were forecast a WEEK in advance. Not that a one week forecast is usually right. All you need is 24 hours and that is very accurate.

      If it was sunny then why didn’t your clothes dry? Why did you leave them overnight?

        That’s part of the point. You have to be able to time it, and you need time to hang it and then take it out.
