Dana showed me the actual Hall of the Great Hall, but it was obviously set up for another event, so we didn't lurk about taking photos. I just hope, hope, hope she gets pics on the day (hint, HINT!)
As we crossed over to the Student Union there was a remembrance service of sorts happening. Obviously very worthy, so we stopped to listen. It was for workers killed while doing their jobs in the local area. It was very worthy of course, but they were about to embark on their Moment of Silence, so it fely highly disrespectful having stopped to walk on by again. The promised minute lasted about four. It cold, windy and we stood, trapped, in honour of Health and Safety for the best part of five minutes. Could we be any more British?!
And into the food court, which was doing a thriving business. The prices were actually higher than I expected, for something on campus and eaten on the hoof, but I can't deny the value. I'd just prefer smaller portions at lower prices, but I'm not a student.
D had a curry and rice, which was indeed massive and served in a deceptively capacious box. I couldn't manage anything that rich for once, so had a chicken salad wrap. It was yummy. We both finished all we bought and weren't sick afterwards. Result.
Then chatted over a coffee and a de-caff tea in one of the coffee bars upstairs.
I'd begun to despair of finding anywhere within my price range which sold de-caff tea, so I was especially grateful, given we'd sat in what felt like an Arctic wind tunnel while I ate my lunch (my choice).
No pics?
No! The wrap, although delish, looked like it had been made by me, as opposed to the tidy parcels the experts make. Maybe it was a new member of staff. So it took two hands to negotiate.
Then Dani went to her seminar, and I went back into Leeds just to poke around for a bit.
