Yesterday I gave blood. I think it’s a really worthwhile thing to do but it is a little scary. I doodled this cartoon when I was waiting alone in the very long queue. Those of you who have followed my other posts will know that I’m in competition with myself. In the UK they’ll keep the needle in your arm for a maximum of 15 minutes. In June I used my left arm for the first time in over a decade (blood donation-wise, that is!). I managed it in 13 minutes. (EEK!) Yesterday, using my left arm, it took just 10 minutes. It’s progress. If you didn’t see those posts but fancy checking them out, here they are:
And now, without further ado – here are The Boys
Have a great day!

You get bikkies there? We get a bandaid and sometimes a slap on the ass from the old ladies…

YAY! They arrived. That’s crap about the bases (but a little bit amusing in relation to my shoddy craftmanship). Did you like my addressing? To: John… Ha!
No worries, I’m really pleased they arrived, in two pieces!
