How long for?
Have you shot much HP5 in 135? I've not been lucky so far with the grain; I suspect it needs real care with the developer...
3 weeks.
Some, not much. You’ve not been lucky in what respect? I expect and embrace grain!

That looks like decent amount. You shouldn't be short.
Personally I'm not a fan of the grain structure it feels a bit much in 135. However it's what you've got so it'll be fine!
I like grain too, but found HP5 grain too much and too ugly in 135. I hear it's fine in 120 (EDIT: more magnification needed in 135). But I did wonder if picking a "low grain" developer might help.
However, if you've shot it in 135 and are happy, that's great! (I'd replace it with Tri-X, and keep everything else in your stash, but we all have different "likes".)
I haven’t shot a lot. It’s beautiful in 120 for sure. The only 35mm I have to show are unfortunately home scanned but they are at the end of this post I recently did...

This should be enough, right

That post is tragic and poignant but beautiful, and has moved me quite a lot; the grain is completely a non issue. It's terrible to lose a parent. I think it was Nan Goldin who wrote "I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I've lost". So sorry, Gareth.
They show him well, Gareth. There's never a good or right time and we all wish we had more photos but not half as much as we wish we could still take them.
I used to miss the grain when I had to use Tri-X instead of HP-5 (and used to push it to 1600 to get more!)
Far too much Gaz, I think you need to send some of those Portra boxes my way....
Are you still shooting the Leica? I haven’t been in this section for too long!
It depends... are you going on holiday by yourself or with significant other/family/friends ? If the former then probably about right. If the second, then far, far, too much
When I used 35mm and went on holiday (with my wife) I used about 10 36 exp films in a week.
That was a cut down from my student days, when I was running at about 3 films per day. You slow down when you get older...
