Arrgh! Waited weeks for nice enough weather to be able to wash some king size duvet covers and hang them out knowing they would actually dry by the end of the afternoon. We live in a tiny house with no room for a tumble dryer (or a dishwasher, which is more annoying) and no room to dry them indoors. Garden is the size of a pocket handkerchief. In winter we have to use a launderette half an hours drive away. Neighbours know all this.
So got them all out at 9am, then put a load of other clothes out a couple of hours later. Had some lunch, then glanced out of the window to see the garden (where the washing was hanging) full of thick smoke. Dashed out and find the neighbours are burning garden waste a few metres away which is blowing straight onto my washing, which now stinks and is covered in ash. 
They have loads more garden than us and could have had their fire in another area or not bloody started one at all and put in all in the green bin instead.
They were out there and I called over that the smoke was going on my washing and that it was covered in ash. She looked up, said 'Oh sorry' and that was it. They just carried on piling green waste onto the fire so more smoke was billowing up and across. I was desperately trying to get it all down and back inside (still damp) but the damage was done. It's hanging inside now but it stinks so I'm going have to bloody wash it again. I mean, just why?!? We've always been friendly enough. They have form for being CF's though so I shouldn't be that surprised. Just wanted to vent though, what a waste of time on my one free day!
