Hi everyone!
Just a quickie! It's a glorious spring day today in Bristol. I had a lovely comment from my hairdresser this morning. He remarked on how my fingers are uncurling and look so much better it's nice to know that I'm not seeing things!
I've been into town for the first time in ages. For an opticians appointment, but I did manage some goodies from Lush too!
I forgot to mention on the blog about exercise. I am planning to get a dog, as I've always wanted one and I'm home most of the time. So if anyone knows a Whippet breeder, let me know! I'm planning on training her to be an assistance dog.
One last thing before I shoot off. Does anyone do any voluntary work? I started properly over a year ago for my local equine charity. Really basic data input, absolutely nothing like my old job. But it has made a huge difference to my life. I am back in an office environment, so there's a good old gossip and a laugh. Plus I've found that I want to get dressed smarter too. And last week I was invited to one of the girls weddings, which was the first time I've been out properly in years.
Enjoy the sunshine everyone!
Oh Skwiglee!! What an uplifting post!! I've been doing voluntary work at my local hospice for the past 8 years and it really does me so much good. I get an awful lot out of it and it helps me to feel a useful member of the community.

It's such a lovely day, isn't it? Voluntary work has made such a difference for me too. I also help in the school holidays, in a meet and greet role. Now I haven't got so much money, a 10th of what I used to be on! I look at it from the viewpoint, that my work saves them paying someone. So it goes to the horses in a roundabout route. As I live on my own, the companionship is great. Plus, the lippy and the eye makeup has surfaced again. I didn't realise that those little pink dots on my face, were caused by Scleroderma - but that's what a fringe and foundation is for! Happy Tuesday Sylvana xx
