How I miss my Dyson

I know what you mean about hotel hair dryers FP, the one's you're discribing are OK for straight forward drying but are useless for styling. Luckily the one in my hotel was a more conventional one with a nozzle but even then it was problematic, the lowest setting was too cool and didn't dry and the medium was far too hot drying it too quickly. I used to take my own away but twice they've either been broken in transit or died immediately after returning home, I think they're affected by condensation caused by the cold air in the hold so for that reason plus the weight of it I don't take it anymore

I hadn't thought of travel tongs FP I might put some on my Christmas list

I have a tiny pair of straighteners. Thanks for reminding me - I keep forgetting I have them. We are going away for the weekend so I will take them.

It's a Bank Holiday weekend here and we are going down to Cork on Friday until Sunday. Our darling 28 is at Uni there and we have been promising him that we would go down there. I have never been to Cork - OH has been there a few times but then he has been everywhere in Ireland with work!
