We have a clothes dryer, for which I am very grateful... they are not very commonly found here, and we bought ours a few years ago from a foreign family headed back to the States. But, the dryer has its limitations. It's always been a little slow - about 90 minutes to dry a small-ish load, which worked out fine, since we have a small washer (at least compared to the giant washers they sell in the US).
Recently, I've noticed that the dryer has gotten REALLY slow, like 3 hours to dry a load. And, ever since the move this past summer, its been pretty noisy (well, actually, it's so noisy it can drown out the sound of Lydia crying). So, we decided to call the dryer fix-it man and have him take a look. We called him Monday afternoon and he said he'd be here Tuesday morning. Right now it's Thursday about 10:30 am and he has yet to show up.
I've been hanging a lot of my clothes to dry (I usually only hang bigger, heavy things). But, the tricky thing about hanging clothes to dry is that if the sun doesn't shine, the clothes don't dry. After two cloudy days, we've got quite a backlog of partially dry clothing. Lydia's bibs and onesies dry pretty quickly. Matt's jeans... not so quick. The sun is starting to peek out from behind the clouds as I type. At this point, the good ole sunshine seems a bit more reliable than my dryer fix-it man. I'll keep you posted...

I can identify with the slow drying clothes! We quickly discovered during the rainy seasons in Thailand, wet jeans would start growing mold before they dried! Thus, we wore our jeans (even back then they were favorites) until they could stand up on their own before we would let real water (not the atmospheric kind) touch them! Good luck with the dryer repair! Miss you! Mom
