This week I have been laid low with a wet, spluttering cold and a rather amusing bike polo injury. This means that many of the day’s posts are coming direct from my huge, comfortable bed. It also means that I am very interested in this laptop bed desk from Ikea hacker Andrew.
Andrew, the poor poppet, was suffering greatly from using his computer in the sack. Speaking to the Ikea Hacker blog, he whined “when I was lying down the weight caused some discomfort for my stomach, and while sitting down the position strained my back.” Instead of simply sitting in his bed and crying as he waited for a nice big grown-up to “make it all better”, Andrew stopped feeling sorry for himself for long enough to take a trip to Ikea and buy a Magasin dish-rack. A bit of drilling and a few bolts later and he had a spidery-legged table to keep the heavy laptop off his delicate little belly.
I have no plans to actually make one of these. Instead, I will continue dictating these posts to the Lady, who is selflessly transcribing my cracked wheezings into the words you read here. Try getting you little lap-desk to do that, Andrew. [Cough]. And where’s my coffee, woman?!
