    I'd eat it ... it's sealed ... you're going to boil it.  Absolutely no problem ... and to be honest I'm sure most of the folk on my Foodie Forum would do the same. 
    I've retrieved it from the bin. I'll let you know.

    I’d eat it too.

    For some reason, these lyrics seem very apposite today.

    Just into afternoon hubby cutting the grass moved the cold frame to down by the veg plot
     Gorgeous weather, nearly 17c nice enough to sit out there. My scented orchid in the bathroom is so strong you can smell it in the conservatory.

    Hello all, beautiful day here and very warm. The Autumn colours are showing well here now, my Cornus Baton Rouge leaves are a deep red....beautiful.
    OH has struggled to get an old Phormium out of a large pot which I have neglected for a very long time, he has divided it taken all the dead fronds off and replanted in the garden where it will have to take it's chance.
    Rain expected at the weekend, we have had nothing to speak of for a few weeks. @Hostafan1 OH would eat your curry, no problem.

    I wouldn't eat that curry but only because I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

    I always hankered after a liquidambar but had the wrong soil in Belgium.  Moved here to find they are used as municipal planting so there's a glorious avenue of them and a few copses of them as I drive into La Roche-s-Y and a few more in gardens hereabouts which is great as I can plant other stuff and still enjoy the blazing colours.

    Friend has been and gone, very happy with her progress this morning and lunch too.  Back next Tuesday for the next step.   She will also help Possum put a positive spin on her CV as she's had experience of doing that before and also employing people in her life before France.

    Scruffy has had her meds squirted down her throat again.  She's well enough now to try and escape before I can catch her and was in full voice afterwards.   Next job for her is to clean up the central path in the PT and check her bedding - after I've put more gel on Rasta's wounded tail.  Full on mum/nurse here.

    @punkdoc - the more I know the more I know there is still to learn.   Some things that happen in this world are just beyond understanding and even further from condoning.

    And the girls are not safe in Ipswich again @Dovefromabove.  These poor girls are forced to put themselves in danger to feed their drug addictions.  And why are they in that position in the first place?  Surely we as a society should have worked out how to keep people safe, clean and healthy by now, rather than push them out into the cold where men see them as up for grabs.  Yes - I spotted the Hemming Way straightaway @Obelixx
    @Hostafan1 - envy you the sight of the liquidamber each day.  But I wouldn't eat what you found in the cupboard even if it was in date!
    Yes, the more you know the more you realise you don't know.  Except for those who know it all already.
    Dying apple tree now has it's branches arrived.  The Cercis chinensis 'Avondale' arrived yesterday - packaged really well but of course losing its leaves. It will get planted at the weekend.  Taller than I expected; it won't make much of a screen between us and next door but will look handsome neverthleless.  At least the NDN has had the flappy black plastic on top of her little shed that backs on to ours replaced with a proper roofing material now, so that is not as hideous as it was.

    I know @didyw … as soon as things get a bit better the funding gets cut so it gets worse again. 😭 😡

    Dove 🤣I,am shocked to the core,you don't iron T-Shirts!!!

    No way should you eat that, Hostafan! A new pack ( if you actually wanted one ) would cost maybe 75p. How much would you pay not to risk having an uncomfortable and unpleasant tummy upset? Chuck it back in the bin and splash out on a replacement.
    Just waiting for my Waitrose delivery, and it’s pouring down outside. Hope the poor guy / girl doesn’t get soaked, I’ll feel so guilty.
