Clothes dryer

[Chapter: Living]

In recent days, this sunny island has been experiencing more rain. And wetter days mean I can’t sun dry the laundry, and the wet clothes won’t dry indoors because humidity reaches as high as 86%! That was the reading on the hygrometer when I last checked.

Electric dryers are becoming indispensable in many households (here) these days, but it wasn’t like that in the past, unless you were an expatriate from a colder country.

We were glad to have found this space-saving, collapsible and portable electric dryer in a department store last year. The heat source is at the bottom and the whole unit is enclosed in light-weight canvas and sealed with zippers. Looks pretty much like a tent actually. I like to watch how the tent puffs up like a balloon when hot air is circulating.

The dryer will have to be put to work again, later today. It’s a pretty wet Tuesday. Just like yesterday.

How’s the weather in your area today?

    That is a very unique clothes dryer! I’ve not seen one quite like before! We have a washing machine that has a dryer function. By changing the function setting to dryer you can then program how long to dry. We actually don’t used the dryer much as it is the big appliances that use so much engery–so we often just use a good old-fashioned drying rack and hang the clothes up to dry! Here in southern Norway it’s been gray and foggy for almost a week–very dull and dreary. I’m forgetting what the sun looked like! Happy day, my friend ((HUGS))
