あまりにも寒い日が続くので、とうとう
布団乾燥機を購入。寝る前に温風を送っておくと布団がフカフカのポカポカで気持ちがいい。母にこの話をしたら「うちにある布団乾燥機をあげたのに！」と残念がっていたけど、それは20年以上前に買ったという代物。譲ってもらえなくてヨカッタ。今回ネットで買った三菱のふとん乾燥機は送料込みで5,410円という格安品（デザインはあまりスキじゃないけど）、それでも昔のに比べたら使い勝手はかなり良くなってるはず。布団を乾燥させるだけでなく、
長靴を乾かす事もできるらしい。夏コースなんていうのもあるので、花粉が飛ぶ季節になって布団を外に干せなくても、もう大丈夫。なんでもっと早く買わなかったんだろ。
Tokyo has been really cold for about two weeks. I couldn't stand sleeping in a cold futon anymore, so I bought a '
futon kansouki' (futon dryer). I
place an air mat on the futon and put the duvet on top of it, then I switch on the machine and the warm air dries the futon and duvet and warms them up. It feels so good and helps us to sleep well. I told mom that I bought a futon kansouki and she said that I could have taken the one at home which she bought more than twenty years ago. But I'm glad that I couldn't take hers. The one I bought from an online shop was a good offer: ¥5,410 including tax and shipping. Even though I'm not very happy about the design, it is quite light and smaller than the one from 20 years ago! It also has more features: apart from drying the futon, we can use it to
dry boots too. In the springtime I suffer from hay fever, so I can't put the futon outside to air it (which I'm meant to do regularly). But they added a summer mode so I can air the futon with this dryer. I should have bought it earlier.
