REJECT

It’s the time of year when I come over all altruistic and report to the local blood donation centre to give blood. Except this time, my preliminary test drop of blood stubbornly refused to sink to the bottom of the tester pot. After being checked on the haemoglobin machine, my sample was found to be 114 g/l (i.e.: below their healthy donating threshold). So now I am tucking into apricots and parsley and Guinness and feeling very rejected :(
