Blood donoring day today at about 11:30 ish in a nearby village as my usual centre didn't have an appointment on my days off.
In lovely sunny, but still quite breezy, weather I set out through my regular route to Moulton.
A quick pop into the CO-OP to pick up some cough medicine for Mrs XXX and a couple of lottery tickets for tonight's draw, then into the School on time for my appointment.
Once they drained my 45th pint of blood (not all in one go), I sat for a while and ate free mince pies and drank a few cups of tea to recuperate.
I was on the horns of a dilemma though... The nurse had told me to keep pressure applied to the needle hole in my arm. How can I do that and scoff pies!? I took the risk and prioritized the pie eating
Back home on about 8 miles, but all in a good cause..
