2nd Sunday in Lent

Memo to my loved ones - would  you pick me up a commemorative mug, which they must be turning out now, seeing that they know the date of the Coronation.   And a tea towel would be nice, if you didn't mind.

I went to the 10.30 at Emmanuel, and that was a bit of a struggle to get there in time, but it wasn't an option, I was down to read.

My kettle died this morning.  I fill the kettle, switch it on, and often times forget about it, but I naively expect - silly me - that when the kettle boils it will turn itself off, like they do at home.   But kettles here are temperamental, they just turn themselves off when they feel like it, and after it has boiled dry a few times it gives up the ghost, like it did this morning.

This is the box of the new kettle, replacement 150.  Being another Chinese import I get through as many kettles as I do alarm clocks.

  As you can see, it has 'auto shut off', ha ha.   We shall see.
