A few years ago, we dug this hot water pot from...somewhere I don't remember. It belonged to my parents. It was made in Japan in...
(can you see?) 1992. I knew it was old, and indeed, it is twenty years old. Or rather...was.
It stopped working a couple of days ago. It died a silent and sudden death. Bummer. We used this electric "pot" (as they are called in Japan) every day, multiple times a day. We filled it in the morning, plugged it in, and had hot water available by the mug-full (or French press-full) for the rest of the day/night.
Part of me wants to run out to Mitsuwa as soon as possible to buy a new one. But, the part of me thinking of the No Spend month/austerity budget is holding back. This morning I boiled water for tea for the kids and me in a small pot on the stove. And it was fine. Of course.
R.I.P. Handy dandy hot water pot.
