Not a cloud in the sky here, now. Looking like a beautiful sunset.

Still a bit blowy - 'fess up, who's been on the beans?

Anyways, I have a and a Mr Kipling Winter Whirl.

Down to the last three boxes of my yellow sticker stash of those. At 25p a box, it would've been rude not to buy a job lot...

Yep. And a perfect example of why I've found curling to be so damn addictive - the blend of skill, tactics and Newtonian mechanics.

I think it is more enjoyable than watching skiers trying to descend a mountain one tenth of a second faster than any one else.

It's pretty well much the only "winter sport" I'd really like to try other than short track speed skating. Too much "ouch" involved with most of the others...

Anyways, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Chicken, leek & barley soup, followed by basmati rice and that lovely sweet potato, spinach & coconut curry.

I'm deffo making that curry again, it's truly lovely. And I do think it benefits from the can of chickpeas I threw in as well.

Isn't tin can a bit crunchy? I'm not sure it has a place in a curry.

When in Nepal with a small NGO, I frequently found I was eating curry with chicken bones: I don't think the people preparing it de-boned the chicken before cooking, just cut it up, so the bones were not merely present, they were often splintered.

It was some years before I could eat chicken curry again...

Very high iron content though. Good for building strength.
