It struck me that one of the ways I can tell how dry it has been recently is that today has been the first time we’ve had the kind heavy rain that really demonstrates the benefits of the Rotaire dryline that I posted about last month and had put in a few weeks earlier. The clothes still needed to be hung inside for finishing as they were picking up the dampness of the air but that is a far cry from being sodden or even out-of-the-washing-machine damp.
