And somehow spending a ton of euros on french lingerie didn't appeal. So before the laverie came this:
Turns out that a metal disc with a little rubber center by the shower is a secret clothesline. DH showed it to me. The little rubber center is one end of the string, you pull it out and hook it to the latch at the other end of the shower.

Candid shots are better than posed, IMO.
You have a good idea for the unusual and different.
