The story behind today's blip is told in today's Daily Record:

"Dumfries is hanging out its washing along the High Street.
More than 100 t-shirts have been pegged out in a colourful peep into the past, featuring words from more than 300 older people who are sharing their memories.
The social art legacy by the Electric Theatre Workshop, part of the Big Burns Supper , is the brainchild of Doonhamer Rachael McDougall. 
Since September she’s been the listening ear of Dumfries, digitally recording hundreds of hours of memories spoken by residents aged from 65 to 103.
They’ve discussed everything from the old Wednesday and Saturday markets, to the Crichton Royal,the Lyceum on a Saturday and the living conditions in St Michael’s Street with its outdoor toilets and alleyways. 
No stone has been left unturned to discover everything from what foods were eaten in the past to how people passed the time.
Rachael said: “Basically I asked questions and just listened. I have learned so much and I am sure it is a legacy that will continue to intrigue.”
Rachael, who grew up listening to stories from her grandparents, went into the Cumberland Day Centre, care homes and arranged one-to-one visits to involve as many people as she could.
She said: “Dumfries has a large population of over 65s and I wanted to make sure their voices were heard as a Big Burns Supper project.
“It has been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and there are a number of elements to it.
“It has helped tackle loneliness in making people realise that their thoughts and experience really matter today.
“It will also have a social legacy of personal stories and history because it is all recorded for posterity and that also gives it an educational platform.”
Rachael, who says the secret in getting people to share their lives was “tea, biscuits and cake,” added: “The installation of the washing line along the High Street is for the Big Burns Festival and will run until January 30.”
Each t-shirt represents a story from the past and it relates to the days of the steamie when the women would wash and gossip together.
As well as the washing line, many of the closes off the High Street have also been fitted with devices which, when activated by people walking past them, will relay a recorded voice of a local person anonymously telling a story.
The soundscapes are expected to be a huge hit."
