I've just gone into the app to check when I can donate next and for the first time ever I've been placed in a queue due to the volume of people (though it doesn't seem to be letting me in once I get to the front, unfortunately, so will have to keep trying).

Groundhog Jun 2024 3:43pm, 21 Jun 2024 6,250 posts	0 Groundhog Another plasma donation at Reading. I'm struggling with this book by Julian Cope. It's about an ex DJ who is returning to Sardinia to investigate the kidnapping of English football fans during Italia 90. It reads like it was written on amphetamines.

Velociraptor Jun 2024 10:05am, 26 Jun 2024 69,595 posts	0 Velociraptor I'm going to have to cancel my impeccably-timed-around-races donation next week due to an ancestral visit. Hoping I can find one 3-7 days later.
