Rainy Saturday

Most of our neighbours don't have clothes dryers - electricity is so expensive here that running one could bankrupt the average wage earner. That and often buildings aren't wired for anything that heavy duty. We have one but I took a tip from Cowbell and on nice days start to dry things outside then bring them in for a final 20 minutes. Plus, of course, I have Nellie's Dryer Balls.

Given that the forecast is calling for rain the next five days I'm not sure how our neighbour at the back is going to get her clothes dry.

And earlier Doralong was asking about today's lunch: well Laurent makes the best egg salad sandwiches in the world. And on rainy days there's nothing quite like egg salad on whole wheat toast and a big mug of Orange Pekoe tea. Guess you can put the boy in Italy but his Irish peasant roots will eventually show.
