The Big Pause - Day 30 - April 10 - Donating Blood

It's the first day of  a four day weekend today. Every day is starting to feel like Groundhog Day now. I hadn't been down tot he farm to do any gardening yet this year so I headed down first thing in the morning. I don't think I'll spend much time with the other volunteers this year since they are all over 70. I was happy to see some people had been out already and most of the beds were in pretty good shape. There was still a few areas for me to work on and the weather was perfect for gardening. 15 degrees and sunny.

On my way home I stopped at Rona to pick up concrete. It was a contact free shopping experience as I went to the back and picked up the concrete myself with no one near me and then paid without getting out of the car. I needed 14 bags of concrete for the hole. I was glad I had purchased a small mixer last year. Made the whole job a lot easier. I got a bit better with my finishing. I managed to keep the mix less wet and had enough time in the day to let it dry a bit before tooling it. I was quite happy with the finished product.

Before the final finish on the concrete I went and donated blood. I was met at the door by a nurse in full PPE who asked me COVID19 questions and had me sanitize my hands. There was tape everywhere keeping people six feet apart, bottled water instead of cups and everywhere you touched a nurse would follow behind and sanitize. They were busy which was good to see.

I completely wasted my evening by renting Cats. I knew it was bad and I though I wanted to watch it because it was bad but unfortunately it was so bad it went past the bad that you would want to ever watch. Don't watch it.
