ABC wedneday : Letter R



http://abcwednesdayround3.blogspot.com/






The rotary clothes dryer.

It has four sets of lines and is similar to an umbrella. A more sophisticated one has a winding mechanism which can make the lines higher or lower depending if you have items like sheets. When the wind blows, your laundry goes round and round like a merry-go-round.

My sparrows enjoy his rides very much, they perch on it and if I got laundry drying, The poop on them.

In a recent high profile child abuse and murder case, the poor kid was hung up on the wire, and spun round and round. Wiremu Curtis, 19, and his brother Michael, 22, face life sentences for the murder of Nia Glassie.

This dryer is a common sight in Australia and New Zealand. In the old days, it was the law to build hopuses on quater acre sections. There were plenty of room for this drier. These days, many houses are sub divided.

When the people left England for New Zealand, they remembered the Great fire of London. They didn't want a repeat. Hence the law for quarter acre.
