windy winter washing

The last few days have been great drying weather. Dry, sunny, windy and not at all wet. Not even that cold. It's hard to believe that winter starts next week. People are still getting around in t-shirst annd skimpy tops. Sure, it's a bit nippy in the morning and at the end of the day, but we've barely even used our heater yet. So I find myself halfway between worry about whether winter will actually arrive and guiltily enjoying that it hasn't. I'm still trying to get the washing out first thing, which although it provides some lovely photo opportunities isn't really necessary yet.

The other morning I was playing around with my camera. I've finally gotten around to having a go with some of the manual settings, such as increasing the digital version of iso (film speed). It's great for capturing movement, but not so great in low light it seems. I quite like these. I don't think we'll be using many cloth nappies from now on. Grace is often insisting on the disposables and really, I'm not so committed to the cloth that I'm prepared to argue it. And our supply of the outer covers is dwindling fast and I'm avoiding getting more because it means a trip to Highpoint. Indeed I'd be happy to never scrape or fold another nappy ever again. That said, I'm glad we used cloth nappies. If we had another babe, I think I'd go for a modern fitted version of the cloth. Or at least a better version of the outer cover.
