Top Soil and Washing Lines

Who would have thought deciding whether to have a washing line or a whirlygig would take so long - and still it is not decided! I prefer lines as the washing drys quicker and blows but we have no mature trees in the garden to tie a line to. I resent spending out for a post to put in the ground as it would have to be cemented which will be a mission. There are already holes for a whirlygig but they are on the patio and I do not want to look out on washing when we have a lovely garden to look at. We have a lot of washing so probably can not confine to one day a week.
After 6 weeks we have bought a washing line and yesterday tried to find somewhere to hang it, but to no avail, plus it was raining all day anyway. We still have no washing line and I suppose I am going have to accept that I need a whirlygig or buy a post! More expense.
While the rain poured down and I was trying to organise an advert on the phone the topsoil arrived. The lorry blocked the road, so not wanting to get on the wrong side of the neighbours so soon, time was of the essence. However chaos rained as usual, top soil being offloaded, while I am on the phone, at the same time trying to keep dogs out of the office so they do not eat the cat food, keep cats in the office so they do not jump out of the open windows in the lounge, find change to give the driver a tip and sound professional on the phone to the magazine trying to write a feature about alpacas!
However we now have our top soil which is sitting at the front of the house getting heavier because it is raining heavily again. It has to be wheelbarrowed to the veg beds which I am now thinking should be closer to the house! Got to go now as phoning the vets to order worm and bluetongue stuff, find some straw, order cushion pads, write more trust letters, buy some fleeces and organise the herd name.......
