Using my kryptonite to help others - my very first post about my fibromyalgia, which took me right outside my comfort zone. I did it because it's important to raise awareness. #Fibro2018 #FightFibro

Does anyone else think Spencer is getting help on Professional Masterchef? Turning out beautiful dishes but when presented with fresh sage thought it was dill or tarragon.....

@OdetteDewhurst @Lawrie It’ll be more dangerous falling out of bed - I’ve seen lower bunk beds!

It truely hurts to think and ask this....but what would we be saying if Obama had gone to Singapore?

@Lawrie What on Earth are you doing with that shirt tie combo? #honestly #hopeitlookedbetterthanthephoto

Halfway through and really enjoying @GregJRutherford ‘Unexpected’ autobiography....honest and very unexpected indeed (apart from a certain night in 2012 which I’m saving for tomorrow).

@RiaGibbison @Lawrie @LeamPeregrines Did you stay right until the very end?

[Heather Phipps @Aornis]

Off to see Infinity War this afternoon with @Lawrie. How many times is he going to have a sneaky peak @Leamperegrines during the film? #hatch #fastestbird

[Heather Phipps @Aornis]

So, @LeamPeregrines eggs - it would be absolutely *hilarious* if you all managed to hatch in the next three hours.

[Heather Phipps @Aornis]

With an air of increasing desperation @Lawrie has just tried to mind meld with the @LeamPeregrines eggs ....from Tamworth

[Heather Phipps @Aornis]

Dear @LeamPeregrines - could you have a word with your eggs? @Lawrie can’t bear the anticipation for much longer....

@okitlogo @DonnaLanclos @Lawrie Fans of @jasperfforde might appreciate our homemade alternative version of ‘Name that Fruit’! #namethatsoup

[Heather Phipps @Aornis]

In a break with recent tradition I decided to label the spicy carrot and lentil soup I made this morning. Say goodbye to ‘mystery soup’ @DonnaLanclos @Lawrie ...apart from those already in the freezer #takeachanceonme

@lisabroadest @Lawrie We’re on duty at the Trail-O today and Sunday. No Lycra for me either - Achilles playing up.

....and if you’d waited 60 seconds before you charged off you’d have found out we were wondering if we could have your mooring and would have parted the best of boating friends #justsaying https://t.co/I9dNgpGEJJ

[Heather Phipps @Aornis]

Dear @AngloWelsh boaters who are just leaving Penkridge. It’s not good etiquette to spot a boat leaving a lock and shout at your crew to let go quickly so you can jump in front. Plus you should be in tick over passing moored boats #justsaying
