Mixer misery

While we were filming another video this week, my trusty Kenwood Mini hand mixer began to make the most dreadful high-pitched whine and the beaters started wobbling in their housing. Very quickly I decided it was beyond redemption and waxed lyrically about the machine. Then it dawned on me – I’ve had it since 1983 ! It’s 37 years old, so it owes me nothing and has been a good friend. Finding a replacement was quite a challenge though. Both JLP and Argos could only offer high-end Dualit or Kitchen Maid for almost £100 – that’s not what I want. Eventually “ao” appeared to have just 3 at the £30 range so I snapped one up (Since then they’ve sold out too) and it arrived 2 days later. You’ll see it in a couple of weeks, as we have a number of videos “in the can” as lovely Joan so aptly described it !
