Not quite vertical!

This was the state of my clothes pole today. It has had a slight kink in it for some time but today with the strong wind and heavily laden with washing the kink became definite bend! The problem now is finding another pole of the same diameter to fit! In the meantime Mr Pink Bicycle has sawn off the bent end and the pole is 30cm shorter! At least I can hang out washing tomorrow. I would not normally mind but its going to be dry and that is a novelty!!
