The man who informed me back in February that we were not going to put up a clothesline, or indeed any sort of outdoors clothes-drying apparatus... has just come into the room and said

"Dear, we need to get some sort of construct for outside, that we can put items on that are still "kinda damp" to finish drying. Out there in the sun, and the hot dry air, and that way they'll dry and smell extra fresh."

"Dear, you told me that we would not ever be doing that."

"No, that was a clothesline. This is a construct. It's totally different."

Me, eyes rolling, "yes, dear. Whatever..."
