Continuing to put the clothes on the line or waiting (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
hanging on
This clue could be a double definition.
'continuing' is the first definition.
(hanging on is a kind of continuing)
'waiting' is the second definition.
(hanging on is a kind of waiting)
'to put the clothes on the line or' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hanging on that I've seen is " Waiting to see".)
