A thing of beauty

DawnAgain was very clear that a retractable washing line which didn't retract was not what she wanted.  I'd been quite happy with just leaving it up, but after she had nearly been garrotted for the third time in one day, I reluctantly agreed with her.

This meant two DIY jobs for me.  Firstly, I had to remove the offending article and secondly I had to affix the new one.  Obviously the holes didn't match and the new one had four screws (an extra two) for me to bodge.

However, both tasks were managed with a minimum level of fuss and the new one - which has not one but two lines on it is truly a thing of beauty.  Now I'm going to have a well earned rest.  I didn't realise retirement was going to be so busy....
