University open day done, early lunch in my cousin's deli in West Bridgford and off to a hillclimb in the Vale of Belvoir. I'm not riding, but son no. 2 is.

Mild, still and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.
Spent the morning doing gardening. The water board are supposed to cut the reeds along the drain, but they never do. So that's what I've been doing, as it's a helpful route for hauling firewood without having to slalom through the rest of the garden.
I have also done a load of laundry and prepped and cooked some rather tired-looking vegetables.
Am currently listening to the F1 qually from Turkey.

I've just bought a bike. It's what grandparents do when birthdays come around.

Mine's a whistling kettle from stainless steel.
Why does it damage the electric ones?

it's when you leave the hot element uncovered, I always put enough water for my next cuppa in the kettle and you hear it 'hiss' as it hits the still hot element.

The element can get too hot, and the thermostat, often reliant on steam from the boiled water to activate it, can burn out. Leaving the kettle boiling that bit longer each time.
Assuming yours is a stovetop kettle, it's steam that provides the whistle power. Emptying it fully, from boiling, allows a "scale" to build up when you leave it back down empty. In effect, burning it slowly.
The "burning" is common to any type of kettle, and will in time lead to an early failure.
