@minirmorgan I do and I used to take a much stronger melatonin, but none of it seems to be working at the moment. Also one of the side-effects mainly daytime drowsiness makes me feel rubbish the next day at work.

I hate this non-24 hour sleep wake syndrome. Feels like I have permanent jetlag.

Fancy a Sunday catch up with Alright, pet? @amwallace_ni visits @guidedogsni to help them celebrate 40 years in Northern Ireland.

Service user @blindspringbok chats about her new dog Biscuit and @epl1970 discusses being a puppy raiser for the charity!

@CTAUK1 @deptinfra @LizKimminsSF This didn’t happen to me, but it happened to a friend of mine who tried to use community transport in her local area with her first guide dog and was refused. I will talk to her and see if she wants to take it further.

@CTAUK1 @deptinfra @LizKimminsSF If you’re partly or fully funded by the govt, you should be held to the same equality rights & DDA as every other organisation. You shouldn’t use the fact that you are run by volunteers as a right to refuse a legitimate service to somebody who is disabled with a service dog.
