Two new kettles
Jun. 12th, 2013 03:24 pmThese were each $25 each. K-Mart and Coles had "no name" electric kettles for $8-9, but the switches and tops looked extremely flimsy. The electric kettle I bought has a measuring window on BOTH sides of it (and in number of cups), whereas the cheaper ones had a window behind the handle - a pointless place to put it!
Yes, that's my reflection in the shiny new kettle.
The basic kettle was marked down from $40 (Target) which was a ridiculous price for a stove top kettle. This didn't stop two other places at Glendale (NSW, not California) wanting to charge that anyway. I almost got a pink one from Robin's kitchen but this will do fine. It'll be a backup for when the electric kettle blows, and when (not if) we get the annual power blackouts here I can boil up some tea on a camping gas cooker.
And how's this for timing?
While I was down at Stockland's at Glendale it started to poui8r down. I waited 50 minutes at the bus stop for the next bus. When I finally got off at my stop, the rain cut to a very light drizzle until after I got home, and now it''s pouring down again.
