So, today we received a somewhat defiant service man prepared to deal  a major blow that it would take all three weeks to get a spare part to fix the thing. I like to think we bid goodbye to a much less grumpy man when he figured his clients were quite nonchalant in the face of these bad news. And, in fact, very happy that he came by so quickly in the first place.

In the scale of inconveniencies, a broken drier is... pretty low. We have good space to hang laundry.
