Blood donation good idea - but not today, they will be too busy. If they need stocks they will put out an appeal, more likely for the rare blood types.

Donate in the coming days, to get stocks back up again.

DD is off school today, I know it would have been mentioned in assembly today.
Apparently there is an incident at the local Oxfam store (in Dalston) so the children are unable to leave for 2 hours. No idea what is going on but my sister works at the school and phoned to tell us.

Well I've managed to hold it together so far but Ken Livingstone's speech has got me in tears.

When the IRA bombed London I was living and working there. Although its natural to worry about friends - I certainly did and I've e-mailed relatives in London - London is a big place and the casualties a very small proportion even of those in the centre at the time.

Can I urge anyone who can to go and give blood at their next session, though. I know they are saying there is no problem yet but blood stocks will have been run down by this. As blood can be shipped around even those outside London can help.
