On the airing of laundry….

Now that’s airing not erring. Every morning I am reminded of Italy and other countries that hang their laundry from lines below their windows.

Roman Laundry

My son has decided to hang his jeans and sometimes the “odd” T-shirt from a bar that we had put across the doorway to his room. It’s not what you think. We fortunately did not have to “bar” him in. He was doing an on-line exercise routine and needed something for chin-ups. He bought the bar and we agreed to install it in the doorway. If anything, it was a conversation piece.

A chin-up bar gives a leg-up

Now, however, it’s a clothesline. No he doesn’t hand wash his clothes and hang them to dry, so I’m not sure what they are doing there. He has a closet and does keep his room quite clean – unlike his sister. The next time I see him (ships passing in the night) and remember to ask about it, I will.

In the meantime, it will be a little bit of Europe in a corner of the upstairs. I should be so lucky!! Now what is that saying about clean laundry making good neighbours…or was that dirty laundry and maybe we shouldn’t involve the neighbours 🙂

It does, though, give a whole new meaning to the term “hanging out.”

Have an airy day 🙂
