Does anyone want my blood? Odd request I know but as regular followers will know I've been trying to give blood pretty much since I started blogging. About 4 months now. Ish. And again I've failed again to donate my armful. Got to the old Danum School to be told the session had been cancelled. Got home to an email to say it had been moved to the racecourse. I'm not going out again.
I was all set too. Had a session at the gym first so my blood was all oxygenated and ready to fly out my arm. Ho hum. What with the gym and fruitless detour for blood donor session I've worked out I've walked, run, cycled and rowed about 11 miles today. I'm too old for that.
I'll be honest, the geek in me had to sit down with a map and a calculator and work that out.
Beautiful day today though. My favourite kind. Crisp blue sky, sun beating down but still a slight chill in the air. Sadly what with all the excess walking, woollen jumper and porn star coat I did sweat a bit. Not as much as in the gym but enough to confirm my fears from the gym. My eyebrows don't work.
I could be wrong but I'm sure I was once told that the purpose of eyebrows, apart from to signify shock, was to keep sweat out of your eyes. I'm gonna have to check I'm right now before I send them back.
Two minutes.
A-ha!!! I knew it. Copied from the HowStuffWorks site:
We know that eyebrows help keep moisture out of our eyes when we sweat or walk around in the rain. The arch shape diverts the rain or sweat around to the sides of our face, keeping our eyes relatively dry. The most obvious advantage of this is that it lets us see clearly when we're sweating a lot or out in the rain. Without eyebrows, getting around in these conditions is a little more difficult. The shape of your brow itself diverts a certain amount of moisture, but eyebrows make a significant difference in your ability to see. Diverting the sweat away is also good because the salt in sweat irritates the eyes, making them sting a little.
In which case my eyebrows don't work. Stick them on the list with my knees and sense of smell (no bad thing) of things that need sending back.
The porn star coat maybe no more. I've learnt my lesson about carrying the mug/flask of coffee around in my pocket. It must have a name. It looks like a mug. Slightly bigger. And works like a flask. You know the kinda thing. I'm gonna call it a flusk I think.
OK, so I know not to carry my flusk full of coffee in my pocket. I get spillage, a wet phone and a coffee flavoured pocket. Today, just as I was swapping bag carrying hands, I put the flusk briefly in my pocket but knocked the top off and covered porn star coat in coffee. I've just had to wash it. I'm not sure it'll survive.
Rovers drew away at Crawley last night, enough to put us joint top, though 2nd on I think alphabeticalness behind Bournemouth. (Same points and goal difference. Must be the alphabet). We're destined to never top League 1.
You were right Stevie Dee. Waffle.
