I guess we all like a product that can double, or treble up in its uses. After all, something that has several uses makes a lot more sense as a purchase.

So, here's some other things you can do with a Sleepbreeze personal cooler.

At home I've resurrected a boyhood interest in model railways. It was all Jill's idea, I hasten to add. No, seriously, it was! Come on, you knew we didn't just work all the time!

Railway modellers build scenery out of a variety of materials, including papier mache. That takes ages to dry. And for anyone with a family, time that can be devoted to "playing trains" is very precious. So, we use our Sleepbreeze to help the papier mache dry quicker. It's worth mentioning, I have a little helper (see the FAQ page) who likes to use plenty of glue. That doesn't exactly speed up the drying process!

One of the things modellers do to make their models look more realistic is to place ballast onto the track. They then secure it with a mix of water and PVA glue. Very messy, very wet. Again, it takes ages to dry and frankly we could be getting on with the next bit if only it would dry! So, again, we place the Sleepbreeze down next to the track and use it to dry the ballast.

A lot of modellers use solvent-based glues to make their models, as well as using solder for the electrics. A lot of this is quite fiddly and you need to be close to the model. Again, I could see some applications there if you want to whisk the fumes away from where you are breathing.

In modern homes people are often pushed to find room for the layout of their dreams. For the lucky ones, a loft space or shed is available. Now, the problem for these people is that lofts and sheds get too cold in winter and come the summer they are unbearably hot. This curtails their interest in the hobby to temperate months. Or if not their interest, then their ability to do anything about it. So, why not use a Sleepbreeze to refresh the air in your loft or shed? Think about it. A product that can keep you cool as well as helping with different aspects of your hobby, whether it's painting, use of glues, solder, papier mache, ballast...

Ok, model railways may not be your thing. But maybe you do have a hobby where some air movement would help things along. Just a thought, but we like to think that our product offers flexibility. And if a product is flexible, then it's even better value for money!

Now technically, that's nowhere near a 101 things. And this blog post is starting to remind me of Steve Martin's portrayal of "Roxanne" - where he has to think of 20 funny things to call a "big nose".

I could mention that sometimes we throw a Sleepbreeze under the clothes horse to help dry clothes on a rainy day (well the tumble-dryer costs a fortune). But you were probably way ahead of me on that one.

Anyway, whilst we're on the subject of model railways - best wishes to the guys at Camp Bastion who have cobbled together a model railway from oddments. Hope the package reached you ok!

All the best, Andy
