I did again. I donated blood 🩸. Super easy and quick. Please consider donating as well. Only a bit sad because my veins are not strong enough for platelets donation 😢.
Picture of poster shaped as a blood drop saying: your nhs needs you, save a life Give blood.

These 👇 are the next 2 books in my reading list. Very exited about reading the work of Caroline Criado Perez.

I donated blood 🩸 today. It was quick & easy. All the nurses were nice & helpful. I got a lot of smiles & thank you for just sitting there scrolling my timeline. Please consider becoming a blood donor.

Amongst all it is happening, my teenager daughter left this 👇 message for me to find this morning. One of those rare (but so dearly cherished) “dad” moment.
Drawing of a measuring tape with “Dad, no one measures up to you!” message from my daughter.
