I've hung out the washing but the weather forecast is for ... thunderstorms this afternoon. I put in the three dots to signify a pause. This is when I sprinted to the clothes line to bring in the washing as quickly as I could. You won't notice but I'm now wearing a different shirt to the one I had on when I was typing the first 50 or so characters. The navy blue one is hanging in the laundry to dry and I'm now sporting one in a tan colour.
The problem with these summer storms is they are all sound and fury and very little action. The splash of raindrops stopped as soon as I had the washing. in. Do I put it out again, or is it better to use the dryer?
(That phrase 'sound and fury rang a little bell in my head so I had to look it up. It's from Macbeth and the full quote is
'It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.'
Pretty appropriate, actually!
