@British_Airways your queues at Gatwick south terminal are shocking! 2 hours to get bags checked in, still have security to go through…arrrgghh!!!!

It was brilliant having @ColinAnsellE13, CEO of @NewhamLondon, visit us at @therenewalprog last week, although we definitely didn't plan to coordinate our outfits! #newham #londonboroughofnewham #charity

Come and join the team!

@staceycordery Good thing Sarah’s not on Twitter then as she didn’t get any flowers at all 😱! We are having a romantic weekend away tho, so hopefully redeemed myself! 😁 💐

@plaing247 Me too! I thought you’d announced to the Twitterverse your 99p act of love to Sarah! I bought myself Sunflowers this week- they really boost my mood too!

No doubt the best 99p I will spend all week! Really helps lift my mood every time I look up! #grateful #wellbeing

@Sheznay Now there’s an idea!😂🤣 Just need a bag of chips for the perfect valentines evening! #valentinegift 😁Hope things are good with you Dave.

@plaing247 That’s so uplifting Peter. We need to do all we can to look after ourselves. For a worrying moment, though, I thought they were a valentines gift for Sarah. 🤣

@strelitz_jason That’s amazing! Would love to understand your involvement a bit more one day. Have a great trip!

@plaing247 Very much both Peter - masambiro.org.uk

5am in Nairobi Airport on my way to what will be a very emotional trip to Malawi 🇲🇼 for now just seems amazingly strange just to be here after 2 years without leaving GB

i have been a loser all my life and i still feel the same today

@PaulStreets_ @LankellyChase @ACFoundations @JulianCorner @CarolJMack @IVAR_UK @LBFEW Wow, real vulnerability and from such a big player! Well done @LankellyChase, inspiring start.

This radical approach to where power lies & who makes the calls @LankellyChase & the fundamental Qs it asks. Should give all of us @ACFoundations pause to reflect on our own practice & ask @JulianCorner @CarolJMack @IVAR_UK @LBFEW lankellychase.org.uk/transforming-l…

In celebration of black history month I am so proud of my late father Kojo Laing who contributed so much to African literacy with his poetry and writing, described as "one of the unsung heroes of African fiction". Miss u dad! #proud #BlackHistoryMonth johannesburgreviewofbooks.com/2017/05/01/res…
