Good morning from a grey and very windy Hastings day. Yesterday it got up to 28 degrees celsius and was very stifling. It is very early to have such high temperatures.
So it is Monday again which means it is time for some fun with oddball photos. Last week I was working on my laptop at the table when I happened to glance out the windows and noticed how the sun highlighted this peg thingy. We have a covered veranda with a clothes line on it. I have heard from another blogger how you can’t hang washing outside to dry. I don’t own a dryer as 1) I can’t afford it and 2) they are expensive to run. This area is great as I can hang clothes out all year round and not even get wet.
So for this photo I had some fun editing. It is hard to be limited to what I have on this Windows laptop. First I used GIMP and then Photoscape for some extras such as the sun in the top left corner.

Thanks for visiting.
The picture came in very slowly from the top (slow computer and you know all about those). And I am trying to figure out what it is. I thought of flying insect? Or those things that you pull off of a can?
Then read that it was an Oddball thingy. All I needed to know. 🙂

I love the smell of washing that has been hung up, not to mention not ruining clothes that shouldn’t go in a dryer. 😀

I had actually hung out my washing while my computer had tried to load a blog. Now that is slow. 😀

I usually just sit and stare at the screen and have a heated one sided conversation with it.
