An Easter Reminder

Amy reminded me tonight that she has booked to donate blood again this week, so I thought it was the perfect time to remind everyone else as well.

Easter is an extremely busy time for the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. Lots of regular donors go away on holidays, and there are many more accidents on our roads. Each week, more than 27.000 donations are required to help patients in need.

You can read about why I need donated blood here.

Check the Easter opening hours here.

Although you can book online, this only allows you to book for an appointment in six days time. If you wish to donate prior to Easter, please call 131495.

PS - The ARCBS has many more permanent donation centres running recently, so it's definitely worth checking whether there is a new one near you!

Easter Bunny Eve

We started off Easter Bunny Eve at the Daylesford Makers Market thismorning. It's always lovely to combine a market with a weekend away in the country.

We had lots of bloggy visitors during the day including Tracey who came all the way from Adelaide, and Jess who came all the way from Sydney! It was also lovely to finally meet Jemma and Marilyn, and to see Bec, Liz, Margaret, Angela, Beck, Serena, Anna, Rachelle, Celeste..... Oh gee I hope I haven't missed anyone!

Sel and I headed back to Clunes after we packed up, and met the boys back at Widow Twankeys where it was chocolate milkshake o'clock.

Little did we know that they'd already been treated to a chocolate milkshake earlier in the day, so we headed to the skate park with the scooters and bikes to burn off some of that extra energy.

Now it's time for beddy byes while they wait for a certain Eater Bunny to deliver some chocolate eggs in the morning - apparently the Easter Bunny prefers Kirks Creamy Soda with his carrots.
