A Confession

Photo by malias

I'm hanging my head in shame here.

Yesterday, for the first time in my adult life, I knowingly and deliberately used a tumble dryer.

I know, I'm highly embarrassed about it.

I say knowingly and deliberately, because when I first moved into this flat I didn't realise that the washing machine was a combination one with a tumble dryer as well. I was highly surprised and shocked to discover my first load of washing was warm and dry!

So what prompted me to commit such a blatant eco-crime when I've got a perfectly good drying rack? Well, today I'm off on holiday and I desperately needed towels. And towels take days to dry indoors.

There are people who say they can't live without their tumble dryer. Personally, I'm the opposite: my conscience doesn't allow me to live with one.

Incidentally, because of the holiday blogging will be light this week. I've scheduled a few posts so you don't miss me too much, but don't expect me to bring you back a stick of rock!

I, for one, am shocked. I've notified the green police. You better keep on running after your holiday!

Seriously, enjoy your holiday. And don't beat yourself up.

Lol! I think you can be forgiven. I've never had a tumble dryer.

Have a good holiday!
