I was and am deeply impressed by the very efficient lad who fitted a double cannula to my arm on Sunday (painkillers in one drip, saline in the other) and the doctor who removed it when they discharged me; I didnāt bruise at all! I now canāt even tell where it was. Class, those A&E nurses.
Flump well and productively, mādear.

Warm here and raining
Ours is the only county not on a rain warning on the islandās Atlantic coastline
We think there is no warning for us as itās situation normal
Raining with enthusiasm and persistance!

I used to be told to drink a pint of water about ten minutes before I had blood taken, because apparently that is meant to swell your veins a bit.
I never noticed it helping!
The thing about this miraculous youth was that he took about twenty seconds from start to finish, tops, and clearly found a vein with no trouble; it can take three or four tries sometimes. (I would make a terrible heroin addictā¦) I seriously thought that all he had done was take a sample for testing, and only realised there was a cannula in when I moved my arm into my line of vision.

My GP used to test students by getting blood from me
One time I needed a cannula fitted in A+E in the plague pit and one of āmyā trained doctors appeared
He was perfectly gentle and got a vein by using an extra tight tourniquet patience and gravity
I lay with an arm hanging down a really tight tourniquet and shared dirty jokes with him while we waited for a vein
I trained that baby doctor wellā¦

Meanwhile the plaster that was put on after I had my 'flu vaccination on Monday last week has finally come off. (It could have held on longer, but it was starting to itch.) Ten days is not at all bad going, given that they usually come off me in less than 24 hours.
(I mean, I think the bloke missed the actual injection site, but my blood is weird.)

Since cellarati seem to run on bacon butties I am surprised that gammons have survived with a wee birdie around
