Ye-HAR …
It’s now official!
I have … … … …
A New Kettle … !
Mostly because mine went home about a week ago: it was only yesterday I was able to replace it.
OK, granted, it’s nothing fancy.
It doesn’t sing, dance, paint, or recite Shakespeare’s sonnets, in Klingon.
But it does do one thing, rather well.
It boils water.
All you need from a kettle, in other words.
And I’ve got to admit …
It’s nice to be able to make a cuppa with-out having to boil a saucepan of water for ten minutes … !
Isn’t it just … !
Lets get moving on, shall we … ?
Yes, I think we should … !
