I didn't actually know what was involved to be honest. Thought it would be just like donating an armful. Which I've done over 25 times (found the badge a few weeks ago).

I'll happily donate as often as I can (if of course I do have the antibodies).

Is the plasma donation just for plasma or for a Covid reason?

Never really paid it much attention as I’m not allowed to give blood.

Morning run to the elementary school to use the playground equipment as a pull-up bar , since the gyms are still all closed. Then wfh to exhaustion or happy hour, whichever comes first.

Also a fan of heat pumps: sealed unit Mitsubishi takes the edge off of the summer heat. Bigger fan of a proper awning on the sunny side of the house - measured it and it makes a far bigger impact than the AC!

Good morning all...Trip to Ebbw Vale today so shouldn't be a long day.

Morning Andy, morning all. Hot here in Devon, and supposedly rainy for the rest of the week after today. I'm a bit concerned about missing bin day.

Good morning, all, and may the clattering, chattering and trundling of Saint Bin be upon you all. The Saint Bin miracle happened again today, and our offerings were taken by Saint Bin the All Greedy, and he did so consume such vasty quantities of garden waste and food clippings that his belly will surely erupt in a most holy way.

Morning all. Feel like I'm hungover this morning. Which is frustrating. Still last day before a few days off. Looking forward to it.

Have a great day, all

Morning all, Crud rest assured we fed the wagons of St. Bin all manner of things yesterday and sent them on their merry way to you.

today will involve running reports written up by Nick yesterday and by me over previous weeks and delivering them to clients. Also some prep at the unit for later this week.

Have fun all...

Visited by St Biniette today after his saintly bigger bother missed our farm off his weekly pilgrimage.

Only been missed once since I last confessed to the religious powers that be Stroud Council... helps to add in the complaint that I assume the reason you took my neighbours waste was that his is white.

Yep, thunder etc...but we could do with some to clear the air...Bloody sticky heat. Bin day is Monday for me....Well recycling Monday all the rest every other Tuesday.

Morning all. WFH today as Alex has. meeting to go too. So it's me trying to work whilst Joseph causes mayhem around me.

Just had a huge thunderstorm, which appears to have cleared the air a bit. The only problem is that it will be 32 degrees this afternoon so it's not really done much good other than help the weeds in the garden.
So it looks like I will have to cut grass/weeds before we move out of this **** hole of a rental we're in.

Got 2 huge jobs dropped in my lap last night so tenders to be done and submitted before Friday this week. But was told that we are the preferred bidder, as long as we match what others have quoted. Which is nice.
Will give me something to do! (Although to be fair I did most of my bit last night).

It's pretty much too hot to work. Add to that a fractured toe, and I'm achieving less than I would ordinarily.

Am hoping the rain doesn't ruin Festival Italia on Sunday

Out on a very hot but very quiet airfield inspecting our new Visibility sensors today. Not complaining, it'll be raining Thursday so making hay.

A very hot sticky morning to all....Whispering Angel on a school night was not the best idea.....Tasty though.
