Hi all, given everything that’s going on, I’ve decided to take a break from X / Twitter for a while - it may become permanent at some point. If you want to keep up with my goings on then you can follow me on Instagram instead 👇🏽 https://t.co/jJAwDsGnVa Hope to see you there!

I love a workcation! The plan is to work during the mornings & have the rest of the day to explore what Porto has to offer. Bonus is that Mrs P has tagged along, kids & Kika are enjoying a holiday with their grandparents & Q is at his cousin Zeke’s having the time of his life!

My little girl has always been very independent & she keeps us all in line too. Now every time we all go out she insists on holding onto Kika's lead & chats away to her. I reckon Kika loves it as they walk beautifully together, don't you think?

What did you get up to this weekend? We spent a happy couple of days enjoying the British countryside. With 2 kids, 2 Lab’s & a British Bulldog to contend with, I did have my hands full but I can’t complain 😃 Have a lovely day everyone.

Now that Kika & Quarkus have had their morning walk, I might be able to get some work done🤞🏽

We’ve been out in the rain all day & I’m soaked to the core, but Quark still wants to go back out for his evening walk. Kika isn’t bothered in the slightest. I know him well enough to know that he’ll keep sulking until I say “walkies” - I’d better fetch my rain coat!

How to make your son think you’re really cool: tell him you know a movie star (then show him a pic to prove it!) We watched ‘The Marvels’ together & I happened to mention that I know Zawe Ashton who plays Dar-Benn. I’ve officially blown his mind!

This little brother is trying to get his big sisters attention, but it takes more than that to wake Kika up 😂

🧵Hello @F1, my name's Lisa, I’m a partially sighted Social Media Officer and I love Formula 1, especially the #BritishGrandPrix But racing teams don’t add image descriptions, meaning blind and partially sighted fans like me are excluded. This race weekend let's change that.

How excited does Quark get when he picks up his big sister from school? I never tire of hearing the excitement in his paws & tail! 💛 (Video shows Quark in harness greeting his big sis @Kika_GuideDog at school. He greets her very enthusiastically as she approaches)

What ways can a blind or partially sighted person vote independently and in secret? RNIB is working to find voting solutions that work for everyone. Tom demonstrates how you can use apps like @ByMyEyes and Seeing AI. #BlindVotersCount
