@matigo It's enough, for now.
Just checking in (i've been lurking and reading the inanities about sweeties and Android) to let you all know that I am making good progress in my write-up.
That is all.
@streakmachine Be great if there actually is a twin who knows nothing about the job.
@indigo Response to aside: I was very happy with the Sugru repair, even if not totally permanent. It did extend the useful life of the kettle by a couple of years. And I find Sugru useful for making, e.g., a little hook for my headphones and things like that.

@height8 Oh, I see. Yes, then it would make sense. But in those circumstances, I'd also probably boil a larger quantity of water less frequently and use bits of that at a time.
@indigo As I said, ours leaked onto its electrical base.In its last weeks of life, it lived on the draining board when not in use.

@indigo Oh pshaw. I had read about brewing at lower temperatures, and whn I got my Aeropress decided to use a little digital thermometer and be a human thermostat. But the kettle was leaking anyway; I had repaired it once with Sugru and that slowly deteriorated. It had reached the point where it leaked all over the counter, and rather than doa whole new Sugru, I bought a new one.
Moral: make your kettle leak first.

@height8 That reminds me. We needed a new kettle, and so I sprang for one with a thermostat, and it makes a huge difference. 80C green tea is so much tastier. I only ever bothered with temperature for Aeropress, but now I'm learning the best temp for a variety of different beverages, and that's part of the fun.
