Those of a squeamish nature stop here. I attended a platelet donation session today – blood is drawn out, platelets separated, and everything else is put back. At the end of the session on of the nurses said that she had noted that some of the cells visible through the various transparent tubes had been clumping together – I hadn’t eaten anything fatty just before had I? Of course not. Unless you count a large sausage roll and a massive baguette containing large slabs of brie…..
Well, I like to eat something substantial before donating. I have been advised to have a chicken baguette next time, although I am allowed mayonnaise.
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.
