Went to a platelets donor session today – like blood donation, but you get some of it back. The nurses have various strategies for increasing blood flow to reduce “bleeding time”, such as constantly wiggling fingers, or squeezing a rubber ball. This morning they added an extra effective strategy to get the heart pumping the blood faster. They showed ladies beach volleyball on the TV….
The TV was muted, with some interesting sub titles. Apparently during the Olympics people are sat at home watching their CVS. And the volleyball is on Horse Guards Parade, where only 6 weeks ago you could have watched Trooping The Corner.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
