Things That Gladden The Heart

I used to give blood but not any more. Not the reason why I don’t now, but it used to make me feel awful afterwards. It used to drain out of me like the nurse had opened a valve on a 1/2” pipe. Made me go really light headed for a couple of hours.
"Back in the day" myself and a work colleague used to give blood whenever we could - always in our lunch hour. Afterward we'd politely refuse the customary cup of tea and head off to a husband and wife back street pub that did incredible pink roast beef and horseradish crusty bread sarnies and, on my Dad's advice, a pint of Guinness for "the iron".
We were always as right as rain. 🙂
