In Him

I want to bring into recognition a sport that is under appreciated.  Most people would have played it at one time at least in their lives.  The sport of clothesline wrestling.  The involves trying to hang washing on the line whilst it is windy.  A hills hoist is a must as this allows the clothesline to play too, making it a competitive sport.  Some keep their pegs in a basket near the washing, other have them strategically aligned on the wires, others give some advantage to the clothesline (or wind, depending on your philosophy) by putting them in a rather large container and hanging it on the end of one of the posts.  This of course allows you to be knocked out as it goes by at a rate of knots!  The enjoyment of playing this sport is neverending.  You get to duck and weave, perhaps holding on to an already pegged item with all your strength to reach for another, toning for the whole body.  I’m sure gusty conditions favour the clothesline much more than the person, this allows the clothes to whip and splat you in the face and or head.  In saying this I’ve just finished a round whilst competing in somewhat hazardous conditions, gusty wind, bright sun and wasps added for extra danger!

Phew! - Time for lunch me thinks.
