The getting of kettles
In case you were wondering why I'd buy a new kettle, when the old one is still functional:
(a) the little light comes on! to say that it's working!
(b) if you accidentally dip its tail in the washing-up water while filling it, it doesn't immediately suck up a cupful of water into its electrics, which it will then spit out all over the electrics of its base when you go to plug it in (I am not a nervous man, but sometimes I wonder if I ought to be);
(c) it doesn't dribble! when I tip!
and
(d) it's black!
Is that enough? I'm sure there's more...
And, yes. I should be working. But I've done my five pages, which is supposed to be Minimum Ration but often works out as Finishing Line, and it's kind of hard to motivate me further. Still. On...
