My 48th pint... roll on 50!

I faced another day of dealing with emails... It's a bit like Groundhog Day at the moment! I had a nice chat with our MD this morning when he came in to say hello, and he asked about how customers were reacting to the removal of the gym equipment from the centres. I had added them to a folder to deal with, but the reaction wasn't great! I said that with all that's going on in the world at the moment, perhaps our members need a little perspective! He agreed!

The rest of the day flew by, and I emerged into a beautifully sunny and mild day. Keith picked me up, and I went home to pootle about for an hour before going to Moulton to give my 47th pint of blood at 6:00pm. Sophie waved me off and said she would have dinner ready for when I got home. Lovely!

My blood donation was straightforward as usual, and my carer said I could probably get to my 50th donation this year! Fab! After a little chat with a fellow donor and a Kit Kat, I drove home and joined Keith and Sophie in the kitchen, where dinner was almost ready. Sophie had cooked beef tacos this evening, and the meal was delicious.

Keith and I watched the penultimate episode of series 7, and we won't know what to do with ourselves when we finish it! Look forward to series 11, I suppose, but it won't be the same without Douglas Henshall! We enjoyed the three series with Alison O'Donnell and Ashley Jensen, but I think Douglas was excellent!
