Giving blood (or in my case, Plasma) always gives you an enormous sense of wellbeing. Plus the biscuits are pretty good too :)

Giving plasma is a little different from the usual GoodGym run or gardening task, but equally as fulfilling. I'm always amazed at how good I feel after donating (hole in arm aside).

If you’re eligible and have a bit of time, I’d highly recommend looking into donating blood or plasma... It’s a small act with a big impact.

Gave blood - my 79th time!

It was time to see if I had enough iron after a previous failed attempt to give my second blood donation and as my droplet of blood fell is the test fluid it confirmed I had.

So it was on to the donation chair and a few minutes of listening to the radio before it was time for the all important snacks.

I enjoyed a lovely bike ride along the river in the sun from Kingston to Twickenham (and very steadily back too) for this month's plasma donation. Giving blood / plasma always leaves me with an enormous sense of well-being. The sunshine helped too :)

Donated blood - 78th donation
