day 21: hang me up

Or tumble me dry. I love dryers.

After an exhausting eight-hour overnight train journey and a painful five hours wait for our room, I decided that the most therapeutic thing to do was my laundry.

The spin and wash took an hour and €2. Then my favourite part - tumbling the clothes dry. It was definitely worth parting with my €2.50.

Top five reasons why I must get a dryer when I have my own home:

  1. I dread hanging up wet clothes.
  2. It is always the bottleneck and the most time cosuming activity in the entire laundry process.
  3. I love the feel of warm dry clothes fresh out of the dryer.
  4. My clothes can dry in the wettest season.
  5. I can name it and it can be my washing machine's bestfriend.

So when I do throw a house warming party in future, you know what to get me!
