Who's afraid of the big bad needle?

The obligatory, I've just given blood here's a picture of my arm with a great big needle in it before I get tea and biscuits, picture.

Thanks to it being such a farce these days to give blood in Shropshire thanks to them stopping pretty much all of the mobile sessions it now involves a trip into Birmingham instead. It was a bit of a flying visit and we stopped off to see Mom and Dad too, and hey, I got a cup of tea and biscuits out of it too!
