Doing my bit

Until a fellow blipper, Diarised, mentioned recently about an NHS initiative looking fur volunteers I’d forgotten that I’d registered ages ago to get involved but didn’t take it any further. So I resurrected my login details, submitted my questionnaire and arranged an appointment for today to give a blood sample.

The appointment was in the chemist at the Gyle so I took the opportunity to have a Quick Look round good old M&S where they had a few racks of sale items. Not much took my fancy but I did pick up some new underthings.

The appointment was quick and painless and I’ve apparently shrunk a little as I’m now just under 5 foot 6 but my weight was 4 pounds less than my scales at home despite wearing jeans. My cholesterol is a good healthy value which was reassuring and I’m waiting to see if I need to do anything further.

Picked up some shopping and headed home to carry on with the shawl.

I’d found some of over rib meat in the freezer which I pepped up with some onions and BBQ sauce. It was quite tasty with a baked potato and coleslaw.

Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting.
