How can I be green when I can't trust weather forecasts?

I am a bit worried that I moan too much on these posts, but here I go again!

One of the things that annoys me about some people trying to encourage others to be green, is that they don't seem to live in the same world I do!

According to a lot of them you don't need a tumble dryer as you can dry your clothes outside. One of the sad things about being an adult is how much time I spend thinking about getting stuff dry! Even today, when the weather forecast is for clouds and sunny periods (and I've just now double checked on acuweather.com) I was hanging up sheets and towels before going on a cycle ride when I looked up and saw masses of dark clouds. I brought it all in to hang on the clothes horse. Now the clouds seem to have moved off to the west, so I might try the cycle ride but the sheets and towels stay indoors!

Last weekend when the weather forecast was for a dry Saturday, I had 2 loads of washing on the line, went out,and it poured down. That washing came in wetter than it went out!

If I had children I am pretty sure I would squeeze in a tumble dryer somewhere!
