Curried favours

When you get to a certain age, and especially if you live alone, the most important thing in your life is to have a reason to get up in the morning. I still have a few reasons, thank goodness. And one of them is the joy I get from making and eating Indian curries.
You may think, as I once did, that there are only three kinds of curry: [1] mild, [2] hot. [3] put-a-toilet-roll-in-the fridge-for-next-morning.
In fact there are so many variations and subtleties that I now have enough reasons to get up in the morning to last me till I am a hundred and fifty.
Thank you, India, you have done a great service to us palely loitering Brits.
