the grey man
This was the second book I read with Roz. It was more "Humpty Dumpty" than "I am the music man". It wasn't scary enough. It was too grey. Chickenfeed was more exciting because you are always wanting to know whats happening next.
Now I am reading the Ice-creamatarion.

Giving Blood - Part 2
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Today Myself and Roz went to Canary Wharf to GIVE BLOOD! Roz took us to the wrong place because they transferred it to a different place in Canary Wharf . Never mind, I found the way!
We went in there, got a number - 42 and a form. I filled it out with Roz and then I was called to register. They asked me some more questions and then they stabbed me! Nah not really, they tested my blood by pricking my finger to get a drop of blood to see if I had enough iron - sorry Roz (Roz was low in iron and was told she couldn't give blood for the very first time).
Then I sat to wait for them to call me to give blood and Keeley, Jim and their friends came. Keeley, Jim and one of their friends Asti signed up to give blood...we were all scared because we didn't know what was going to happen.
My name was called: Craig Roast! I started to breathe quickly. I wanted to run but I didn't - Roz wouldn't let me! Then I lay down and looked up through the big glass roof at the blue sky while I opened and closed my hand to pump the blood and Roz read the book The Grey Man out loud to me and chatted to me.
While I was doing it I wasn't scared - I was happy cos I knew I might be helping people. After, I got up and did some cartwheels. Nah, not reallym thinking about it was making dizzy! I sat down for a bit and got a drink and crisps and a sticker saying BE NICE TO ME I'VE GIVEN BLOOD!
Jim was next and I sat with him while he was giving blood and Roz sat with Keeley. Then we went away and packed for a weekend away to become Peer-educators in First Aid. If you want more information on that, please check up on my next post on Nutty But Helful. Remember Give Blood - Come with us next time (end of May).
