The Climbing Unit was full* of Students, they must've broken up for Christmas.  *OK so not full, perhaps a dozen, but they were very loud! And I actually heard one say he felt old....  with me around he should've felt young lol!

Then I went shopping in quite a big way. I didn't spend loads of money, but I did shop in Lidl, Aldi, Asda and Tesco and I replenished my stock of beans/chickpeas/lentils. I know what some of you will be thinking... but it's not really a problem as my guts are used to such fare :-)
