Today’s posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger:
Today’s post is a public service announcement. After putting it off for way too long, I finally had time to pop over to the SA National Blood Service HQ next to the Provincial Hospital to do my second donation for the year, bringing my total up to 68 donations. It was wonderful to see the donation centre busy for a change and I hope it’s a good sign for the future. Blood is a scarce commodity and can’t be manufactured so all blood and blood products used in hospitals has to come from actual donors. Have you ever donated and if so, are you a regular donor? If not, why not?

My first photo on Port Elizabeth Daily Photo was…:

While deciding what to post tonight I started wondering what the first picture was I posted on PE Daily Photo. I went digging through the archives and arrived back at 15 March 2009 when I took over Port Elizabeth Daily Photo from Sue and Max Hoppe and posted my first photo on this blog. It was one of a sunrise at Hobie Beach. I think it was taken just after the start of Ironman that year but I could be wrong. Never the less, it was the start of a journey which still continues today, closing in on 3000 posts done since that first one. Good thing I checked so looking forward to celebrate in a couple of weeks time.
