Showers forecast but don’t actually appear, during daylight at least. High winds do, though, so good drying weather for the towels on the drying rack, prudently held down by two large - and heavy - marble tiles, presumably surplus to requirements on the patio at some point.
Clothes here normally dried with solar and wind power only. Interestingly, neighbours down the road hang items of clothing, and sometimes shoes, to dry on the driveway gate or sometimes on the stone wall or on chairs. Initially I thought these were things that they no longer wanted and were giving away as part of an informal curbside recycling effort. As is done in a number of Canadian towns and even in parts of London. Have occasionally improved the furnishings in a London bedsit we were staying at by these means.
Fortunately nothing ever took my fancy down the road here, as J assured me that the not all that attractive bits and pieces were definitely there drying and not looking for new homes. I could see that the garden behind the stone wall was pretty shady, so possibly the roadside was a better drying spot. But no, the actual owner of the clothing lives across from the stone wall in a north facing house and regularly takes advantage of his neighbour’s sunny exposure.
