Today I did a blood donation which was at the fire station. At least today the doors were closed so the heat was kept in.
Dear wife and child cam along as it was Boxing day. Dear child was a bit worried when I had my finger pricked for the iron level test. So I thought it better for them to go rather than stay as he will be more concerned when they take the full amount of blood.
I took a photo of the needle in my arm.
Later when we had lunch at the pub I showed the photo of the needle in my arm to dear child. He immediately covered his mouth with both hands in a shocked way. This was exactly what he did at the fire station when the finger prick was done. I hadn’t expected this. I explained that I wasn’t hurt at all.
He told dear wife that he was disappointed that he didn’t get the Blox Race Car Transporter for Christmas, "maybe I will get it next year".
Later this eventing we let him open unwrap the bigger present that was near the tree. He was rally happy to find it was the Race Car Transporter.
