Nappies and the Harringay 'summer'

Being a good Harringay (eco) Housewife, I use washable nappies, of course. There are moments when I wish I was less 'responsible'; like when I'm scraping the contents of Baby's bowels down the toilet and thinking how much easier it would be to just chuck it in a bag and place in the wheelie bin. However, gone are the days of the boilwash and the mangle. The modern nappy and the modern washing machine make life very simple.

Yes, here I am trying to save the planet but I don't think the planet is holding up her end of the bargain.

For, the payoff for the drying nappies around the house in winter should be the ease with which you can dry your nappies on the line in the summer. Except, that so far the Harringay summer has consisted of rain, rain, oh and the odd storm. Oh sure, we've had a couple of warmish days but they don't always coincide with the days that the nappy bucket is full.

Come on Mother Nature, lets have a little sun, as I'm a little tired of this in my kitchen:
