Think it might have been magic mushrooms you may have inadvertently ingested
I thought the mushrooms and the trees talked to each other.

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

That's me fully jabbed up for another year - Covid one in the left arm, flu in the right. No side effects (yet) apart from a slightly sore pair of injection areas. To celebrate, I treated myself to a pack of quality pork & herb sausages from the Co-Op and also managed to pick up the parcel from the Post Office.
How can this be almost November? I went out for a decent bike ride this afternoon in 3/4 length shorts and a short sleeved jersey and could have done with my sweat band as well.

In the absence of any healthy food, I had a Ginsters peppered steak slice as my post ride recovery snack this afternoon.

I became entitled a couple of years ago. I applied online via the gov.uk website, I think. I was then surprised by getting a phone call from the Pensions Peeps a couple of weeks after to say that my pension had been agreed. It got sorted reasonably quickly but not by default - I had to kick the process into action.

Lovely supper tonight of split pea & bacon soup, then beef & chickpea madras, basmati rice and spiced greens. 
That's probably one of the best curries I've ever eaten. Deffo making that again.

Share the recipe!
There was an option to defer your State Pension for one or more years for a larger payout.
If I remember correctly, and my maths is quite shoddy, it would take nearly 17 years to be in 'profit' from taking up the option but do your own calculations!
BTW it's paid weekly or 4 weekly, not monthly.
This was 5 years ago, so, as I said before, all things may well have changed.

I used a 400g tray of diced beef and one can of chickpeas. This is probably enough for 6 portions if doing with extra sides, or 4 without. Cooking time is 8 hours on "low"
Tip can of chopped tomatoes into the crock pot. Brown the beef in a large pan with a couple of tablespoons of oil, a few pieces at the time (otherwise the beef will steam not brown), and drop into the crock pot.
Use the same pan and oil. Sautee a large onion, one fresh red chilli (chopped including seeds), thumb-sized piece of ginger (chopped), four cloves of garlic (chopped), two teaspoons garam masala, two teaspoons curry powder, a teaspoon of nigella seed, a teaspoon of cumin seed, a teaspoon ground coriander, a teaspoon of turmeric and dried kashmiri chillies to taste. When the onions are soft, dump the whole lot into the crock pot.
Use the rinsings from the tomato can to deglaze the pan, and add to the remainder of the ingredients. Also, add in one stock cube - I used chicken. Halfway through the cooking time, throw in the drained chickpeas.
