I sure I can find something better to stand and stare at than a kettle coming to the boil!!!
And anyway I'm already up to 7 cups today so that's a quarter of an hour saved if I get the new thing. Nearly enough time to cut the lawn, but not with scissors!! :-)
Really, saving time or money is not a key driver on this one. I wouldn't want it costing me a whole lot more though.
Even W.H. Davies doesn't mention staring at kettles!! :-) (Nice poem btw)
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
