My wife is moaning that her washing won't dry!

'Her' washing? Maybe you should take over, Jack -- perhaps 'your' washing
dries perfectly!

I was of course expecting that response for my blatantly sexist comment.

In fact, wife and kids have been away for several days so I had to do not
just my own laundry, but the stuff they had left behind. So there.....Yah,
booh and sucks:-)

It did make me wonder if it is possible to estimate drying times for various
items based on such factors as wind speed, humidity, sunshine. I found that
my shirts were fully dry in about half an hour. So I am considering
installing a remote reading humidity meter in the utility room so that my
wife will have a good idea in advance how long the washing will take to dry
when she hangs it out so can plan when to do the next load.

Got to turn this meteorological knowledge into something useful you realise.

That Cambridge reading was repeated and did not agree with my own figures.
I guess someone had not been dipping his wick enough and it had become a
little dry.
