All Hail the Drying Cupboard

And the Lord spoke, and he said "Truly it is the drying cupboard that will solve all your problems concerning the spillage of beverages on the equipment of the electrics. Thus you should hail the drying cupboard and install one in your home immediately. For without such a marvel as the drying cupboard, your laptop, if not your very life itself, will be forfeit." Too right. Well spoken, Lord.
So yes, the drying cupboard has worked its heavenly magic and life has been restored to Naomi's Lappy. It's not yet entirely trauma-free life, but I have signed it up for counselling, and hopefully it will stop freezing randomly, itunes will fully restore itself, and we can put this whole terrible episode behind us. And we have both decided to limit our beverage intake. I believe it's the only sensible option in the light of such an event as this, and as I am the parent/boss/owner/human in our relationship, what I says goes, even if Lappy did enjoy his brief hiatus from being constantly bashed on, and really quite liked the drying cupboard coz it was nice and warm and toasty and he felt so very light without his battery, and free, free as a bird, to dream, perchance to live...
Naomi is asleep. Lappy out. (mwah ha ha ha ha)

And just how does a drying cupboard work? I'm very interested because all my pants are getting shorter by the day as I resort to ignoring all care labels and throwing everything in the dryer. Because here in sunny Canberra, it is possible to leave towels on the balcony for three whole days and for them to still be wet at the end of it. Who ever would've thunk it?

Our drying cupboard is basically a cupboard with the radiator/hot water system/some other big metal heating thing (yes, I obviously paid a lot of attention when Will was showing me) behind it. It has shelves and clothes seem to dry in it faster than they do just on the drying racks because it's warm and... dry? Who knows. It fixed Lappy, so I'm a fan. Maybe it's a "very British" thing, just like the tea that almost led to Lappy's demise.
