Bondi + Blood
Simon and Anna have been visiting us from Adelaide for the past couple of days. Was really good to see them again (Anna was one of our bridesmaids).
As part of the tour-de-sydney we took them on the Bondi to Bronte walk. We hadn’t done it before but it confirmed again how beautiful the Eastern coastline is. A few too many posers at Bondi for my liking, but it is an impressive beach and interesting place to look around.
One thing we came across was the blood donation semi-trailer…since none of us had ever given blood before we though we’d give it a go. That and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to mark another one off the list (#32) ! After far too many liters of water and lunch at ‘bondi tucker’ (v. nice despite the name!) we did our time in the chair. The nurse commented on the size of my vein – is that a manly thing to have? big veins? I took it as a compliment.
Mars bar, twisties and biscuits in exchange for superfluous blood? score!
