Don't know what's going on but I've missed postings from @punkdoc - glad your heating is fixed - and @Busy-Lizzie - I trust you can make full use of that skip.
Funnily enough I'm just sorting thru bedding here and will be using 2 old double duvets as dog cage covers to keep them cosy this winter.
We've dismantled the bunk beds but I shall keep the single duck down duvet in case we ever need it for an extra person. The synthetic one can be recycled as dog bedding. Old pillow can become garden cushions.
Maybe Mr Biden, having greater ecological awareness, could hold a garage sale instead with proceeds going to Obamacare?

Sounds a good idea to me. Beautiful sunny and warm morning here as I walked to get the daily paper, duly swerving round all the people who don't know what 2 metres looks like or don't care. Been trying to get hold of an estate agent on behalf of my daughter, hope they're not closed during the lockdown. Good news about the central heating Punkdoc - bonfires are always great fun and raise the spirits, as you say, something primeval about them.
I hate bonfires, he has to make sure the wind is completely in the other direction, strip off in the porch and get straight into the shower. However, I do like butterbeans mum always did them with roast beef.

@Obelixx Sounds like a nice recipe for butternut/chickpea curry - of which I have many, , and will duly observe your comments as to spicing it up a bit. I noticed in the comments that there was too much Tamarind paste. I was so peckish after reading about food that I cut off three pieces of stollen and buttered them!!
The tamarind was fine @tuikowhai34. It was base notes that were lacking and haven't improved overnight. I think maybe it needed some coriander and cardamom or cinnamon or both.
There's another pumpkin and chickpea curry on that site that I shall try another time - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/pumpkin-curry-chickpeas when I can go out and find some Thai yellow curry paste. I have Thai green and Thai red and Massaman and Panang and Gochugang plus the usual Indian spices and pastes but not Thai yellow.

I dont like butter beans either. Two foods I really dislike is butter beans and liver. Served together would be pure torture for me. Funny because I enjoy all other beans
@Obelixx Point taken. I looked around that page too good food is an excellent site for ideas as is marmiton - I love chickpeas - even just in a vinaigrette dressing with a little shallot and parsley. I bought up large when in India and Katmandu last year - lots of packets of different "additions" to a dish. Also got poppadoms which I love.
PS I made a nice Greek Cauliflower dish today (Jamie Oliver) it was really tasty - to change from curries, but the rest of the cauliflower will be curried with butternut, sweet potatoes etc.
