Blood tests needed! Visited by a friendly phlebotomist last week and he failed to find a vein that didn’t burst…

So I forgot where my blood test was booked and in the caffufle when I was talking about it with hubby I thought I’d better go to Addenbrookes and maybe I was booked here anyway as my other choice hospital said they didn’t have my booking… it was in the calendar as the other one.

Maybe I’m here a bit early, which is still a no-no in post Covid hospital visits. But just as well I’m early: I can join the crowds thirty ahead of me in the queue.

Fairly warm and I’ve drunk that bottle of water I should have taken on the train. Always something to forget!

Sitting with lots of people isn’t usually the done thing but post Covid there are very few mask wearers and lots of people trying to social distance- even when the seats are jammed in tight.
