Mum to three, Health Protection nurse, enthusiastic but nervous cyclist. Edinburgh is home and has my heart, residual Hartlepool accent

@AlexDRobertson Quavers!

Private jets are responsible for MORE greenhouse gas emissions in the past three years than Uganda, a country with a population of 46 MILLION.

The super rich are destroying our planet.

Pass it on.

Wild beast in the wildflowers

Lovely to meet the future East Region Health Protection nursing team in person !

[Cath Morrison 🇪🇺🇺🇦 @valtos3]

@chrisfl Back to it's former gridlock 🫤

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

@AlexDRobertson Sorry @AlexDRobertson !

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

Another brilliant turn out of cyclists who only want to feel safe on the roads.
Massive well done to my bro Alex for all his organisation to make this happen 🚲

[Pedal On Parliament @POPScotland]

Thanks to everyone for coming to #PoP23 today! We had an amazing turnout and are so grateful that we sent a clear message to Scotland's politicians (thread)

It's not too late to come along... 1pm chamber st. Green transport needs to be safe 💚

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

A tragic loss, and a strong argument for safer roads with separate cycling lanes

[Pedal On Parliament @POPScotland]

The parents of Emma Burke Newman, who was killed while cycling in Glasgow this year, have written a post for us. Please read and spread their message. Thank you.

I'm so good at quiddling

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the Day (again) is ‘quiddling’ (18th century): busying oneself with trivial tasks as a way of avoiding the important ones.

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

@catherine041081 Haha yuck! Although I'm not actually that surprised to hear you do this Catherine 😂

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

Just learned my entire family eat the skin of kiwi fruit. I absolutely wouldn't... Am I in the minority in general?!

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

If we had room to store one of these, it would definitely be on my Christmas list! I'm sure it would have made my kids early years so much easier

[Alex Robertson @AlexDRobertson]

#TreeByBike time. Just a wee one that fitted happily in the urban arrow with the flaps down to keep the other two saplings in there nice and cozy. @UrbanArrowcom was totally fine in the snow. Stable and fun.

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

The Christmas tree, aka cat-snack is up once again. Delicious

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

@missgatercps Brilliant pics, thank you! I feel cold just looking at them 😅

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

@foggiebee Why isn't there a more dramatic facepalm emoji than 🤦‍♀️

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

@amateuradam @missgatercps What a kind and generous offer!

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

@AlexDRobertson There's a soft play area on the ferry. Set up shop there asap 👍
Also bring your own picnic, not a lot of options for takeaway food options for kids!

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

@EdinPerson So interesting, thanks for sharing. I'd be so interested to see how a "Pay-As-You-Throw" scheme would land with Scottish residents- like a lead single-use balloon I expect 😊 seriously though, I hope people see the waste and it clicks that this is avoidable with changes

[Jeni Armstrong @jeni_armstrong]

Edinburgh is overflowing in rubbish. Refuse collectors deserve fair wages, I support the strike. My unpopular opinion is that maybe we humans should take more personal responsibility? Most city centre rubbish I saw today was SINGLE USE food&drink containers- this is avoidable...
