Giving Blood

It's that time again. I have made an appointment to give blood again next week, one of the few good and charitable things I do. Back when I first started giving it was twice a year, the needles were as big as straws and you were given a cup of tea afterwards for your troubles. You still get the cup of tea, but the needles have shrunk and so has the time between donations.

If you don't yet give, do consider it. You'll feel good having done so and someone, somewhere, will be truly grateful that you did.
