Hey, I was donating blood too! Although, I was cheering for Canada :) (sorry).

I am also ashore and donated blood this morning. Seems a bit surprising to have three Muggles donating blood this week when only 3% of eligible individuals donate. There must be a story there somewhere. Our local blood bank is having an "All Seasons" blood drive and will be giving puffer vests to everyone who donates at least one pint of blood in each of the four seasons this year. The vest will arrive too late for the bitter cold we're having this week but maybe it will come in handy next year! No alcohol for 24 hours so I'll stick to hot cocoa tonight.

Ashore! (I think...) Also, a propos of some earlier comments on this thread, I am donating blood THIS week! Happy to be part of the club!

Been donating blood since they removed the restriction on Brits - apparently we all had mad cow disease! 😜 🐄
My first platelet session, however, is on Monday. As one of the world’s slowest readers, I am looking forward to making a dent in The Splendid And The Vile by Erik Larson… gripping account of Churchill and the Battle of Britain. One heck of a ‘tense situation’ that should (hopefully) keep me awake!

I'll order a German Dunkel tomorrow at a suitable establishment. And drink more fluids tonight.
Love your post-donation protocol. Dunkel is always the best medicine.

Finally was able to get around to the puzzle this morning... safely ashore, but I think I'll stick with coffee now.

Still hanging with 3 down. I'm almost positve I have the right idea, just can't seem to sort it out.
EDIT: Stepped away to refill my coffee, came back, and saw it plain as day! Ashore

REMINDER: All are welcome to join us for our weekly Friday Zoom today at 4:30 pm Eastern time. If you are feeling in a "tense situation", some interaction with muggle friends is certain to be the remedy! Since we are already on page 9, I suspect many Zoomers will be playing Beach Party Bingo. We will help anyone who is having difficulty finding the correct path to shore!
Click on the Muggle Zoom Room tab at the top of the page to join us. Hope to see you there!

Tim got us ashore in a solo swim before I’d even opened the puzzle. We’ll have something brewed by Shepherd Neame.

On shore. Did some of the grid while donating blood. Finished grid during hockey game, by which time I had seen the way to shore. While rooting for the USA to beat Canada again, I'll order a German Dunkel tomorrow at a suitable establishment. And drink more fluids tonight.

Arrived ashore! Three pints of water for me.

On shore before finishing the grid like many Muggles. Nice to have one of these.
