Have fun picking up those boxes today folk, remember parking is easier after 4 pm when the uni folk tend to dissipate. Also, bring back last week's empty box so we can fill it up again next week.
We had a good time packing last night, don't forget to sign up for a shift today if you haven't already. Cheers! Happy winter all!

Pakora are an Indian favourite. They are yummy with most types of vegetable, but especially good with caulies!
Veggie Shepherds' pie
This is of course a classic, but also very yummy veggie. Makes a nice dinner with some greens on the side. The seasoned breadcrumbs add a little salty crunch.

Veggie Shepherds' pie
This is of course a classic, but also very yummy veggie. Makes a nice dinner with some greens on the side. The seasoned breadcrumbs add a little salty crunch.
