Very nearly an armful

I got an award today. It's nice to get an award.

I got a bronze award from the National Blood Service, as today I gave my tenth blood donation. That's more than a whole person-full of blood!

I find it a pleasant way to spend half an hour, in the company of friendly ladies who are always happy to see you. They look after you, let you have a lie down, and then give you orange squash and a biscuit when you're finished. And the warm feeling of having done a good thing is a nice bonus.
