It was so windy, Brenda had to use several clothespins per item to keep her laundry on the line. I keep my clothes pegs in an old biscuit tin.
Il vento era così forte che Brenda dovette mettere varie mollette su tutti i panni per non farli volare via dal filo stendibiancheria. Tengo le mie mollette da bucato in una vecchia biscottiera di latta.
