On the plus side, I’ve got my laundry on the line, it should dry really quick in these temps!

They eat up my tomatoes AND my Cape gooseberries.
Unless I zap them with some insecticide.

More like trying to avoid!
It's now 8am on a Monday morning and most passengers would rather be asleep, me included. But there is not a transit hotel at a sensible price think lots of $$$$ no kidding!

I need to make a laundry line. Paying GA Power to run a dryer that's 5.6kW when it's blazing hot outside...

I’ve got a retractable clothesline, it’s great. Pull it out when I need it, and retract it when I don’t. I dry most stuff outside during the summer. I do use the dryer during winter, if it’s raining, and for sheets and towels (I hate stiff towels so they all get done in the dryer).

I dry my clothes in my bathroom.
No worries about putsi (mango) fly that way.
Dries in a couple hours except in the rainy season

Are those the ones that will lay an egg on you and you get a maggot under your skin?

AKA Tumba flies. My sister got a whole nest of them on her back when she lived in Nigeria. Her massage therapist found a lump on her back and it was moving. Her doctor had to cut it out.

Hard NO on that. I'll stick with the green ones and yellow Florida flies around here.

Yeah she got them from a wet pool chair. Ugh. While living abroad she also contracted dengue fever. That was worse.

Yeah I think that if we had those around here, I’d also be drying all my clothes indoors! That’s a big old NOPE from me.
