After six nights in hospital, I am finally home! Woo hoo! Thank goodness it wasn’t anything that required surgery 🥳

Personal update: I was told this morning I could go home from hospital if my abdominal x-ray looked fine — I was all set to leave! Sadly, they couldn’t fit me in for the x-ray today, so it’s one more night here.

The life of a sketch comedian: ordering truly bizarre props and pretending it’s normal. Today’s order? A toy pink microphone and a blonde wig. #TaylorSwift sketch incoming 👀🎤💁‍♀️

Listened to two awesome albums this weekend: 🎧

Taylor Swift-The life of a showgirl

Doja Cat-Vie

Doja Cat & Taylor Swift are definitely on my wish list of people to interview!

Trump’s claim that paracetamol causes autism is false and dangerous.

As an autistic person, this rhetoric is frightening.

There is no “autism epidemic.”

No evidence vaccines or medicines cause autism.

Autism doesn’t need a “cure” — I’m proud of who I am.

I'm full of the flu at the moment I've lost my voice. I've dosed myself up and I'm trying to get through it by enjoying lots of music 🎶 It's the way I get through everything really. I’m currently enjoying Ed Sheeran’s new album Play ▶️

Started presenting radio at 11… still buzzing every time I’m behind the mic 🎙️

I presented my first show back after my holiday on Sunday! 🌞

Tune in to Feel Good at Five on Hospital Radio Lynn every other Sunday → 5-6pm 📻✨

We are about to board the ferry in Cean after a lovely two week holiday in France 🇫🇷 We will be back in the UK in a few hours. I hope you’ve all been well behaved!

Au Revoir France!

What a whirlwind of a day! I just wrapped up my latest VoiceOver demo, and I’m eager for you to listen to it soon 🎙️

I’m definitely feeling that ‘end of term’ vibe lately… this Sunday, I'm off to France for a two-week holiday! So excited! 🇫🇷

Had to go to the doctor's surgery earlier—I'm becoming a frequent-flier there! 😆 the nurse was very patient, kind and thorough. What would we do without the NHS, eh? 🩺

Thrilled to have taken a significant step toward acquiring my own wheelchair accessible vehicle in the past few days! This truly could be life-changing! #Disability #LearnerDriver 🚗

Had a driving lesson earlier today, and it went really well! I managed to improve on quite a few things, plus I drove for most of the hour-long lesson — not easy for someone dealing with fatigue and pain like me! 🚘 Whoop whoop! 🎉 #learnerdriver

What a week it’s been! Just got out of the hospital after 3 nights 🩺. Severe abdominal pain in the appendix area turned out to be due to urine retention—thankfully no surgery needed! Grateful for the care and so happy to be home! 💪

I'm excited to share that I've bought a new microphone specifically for voice-overs! My existing ones are more suited for radio. I've chosen the Sontronics STC-20, and I'm proud to invest in my voice-over career 🎙️

🎉Tune in to "Feel Good at Five" on Hospital Radio Lynn! This week, I’m sharing my exciting driving milestone, plus some Easter punny fun! 🐣🚗 Let’s hop into positivity. Don’t miss it! 5-6pm GMT 🎧 player.broadcast.radio?mode=site&st... #HospitalRadio #EasterSunday

I went to the doctors’ surgery earlier for a blood test. They have a peacock there who was sitting on the fence—a lot like Kier Starmer.

My budgie said something really funny:

“As you do, boys” 🐦

What an amazing week we've had as a family in our caravan in Sussex! We're currently heading home and reflecting on the wonderful time spent with extended family. A highlight was definitely our visit to the historic dockyard in Portsmouth. Wishing everyone a happy Friday!

Just kicked off my application for grant funding for adaptations to the Motability car I’m going to order.

Financial support doesn’t just drop from the sky when you become disabled—though a Motability unicorn might! 🦄

#DisabilityAwareness #Motability

Still in shock after the government's announcements on social security for disabled people 😢 My thoughts are with all of you—take care of yourselves and each other. Remember, you are worthwhile and valid; your worth isn't defined by your salary or whether you're able to work 💚

Emerging from a two-week hibernation thanks to the flu 🌱

The struggle is real—having an energy-limiting disability means even a virus can feel like being a heavyweight champion 🏋️‍♂️

#ChronicIllness #DisabilityInclusion

I've got a new voice overs demo in the works! 🎙️It’ll be recorded on Wednesday and will be my first e-learning demo. Let's just hope this awful sore throat goes before then 🤞 #voiceover

Bit late, but Feb 28th was #RareDiseaseDay.

I’ve had Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my right hand since I was 14—it showed up out of nowhere.

Now it’s part of my growing collection of disabilities. Feels like my hand’s on fire—every single second🔥

#DisabilityAwareness

Ever find yourself fixated on something as simple as a name?

I got my Neurology🩺 appointment today, and guess what? My doctor is Dr. Buttery!

I can't stop laughing at that name! 🤣

I can’t believe it’s not Buttery™️! 🧈

#Obsessed

I went for a driving lesson today.

I was much more confident in my decision-making today.

Driving instructor said it went well.

Fortunately, there is some of Norwich left.

Presenter milestone 🎙️

I’ve been presenting since I was a baby… just kidding, I was 11 when I first started 😆

Today, I’ve got a new *customised* microphone cover 😀

I love it 🥰

Laurence the roving reporter (I prefer Raving Reporter) will be coming to a street near you soon 👀

How was your weekend?

I canceled my driving lesson due to feeling unwell—still had to pay for it 😔 I'm feeling a bit better today.

Also, enjoyed tea from the fish and chip shop, and created new comedy characters—coming soon!

I've got a driving lesson tomorrow 🏎️ Very excited! 😀

The ‘L’ plates will be on the back of the car. Plus, there will be ‘L’ plates on my back—L for Laurence!

Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I certainly won't be driving like Mr. Bean:

However, there will be a wildcard, and they will announce who that is in due course - I’m hoping it will be me🤞I really enjoyed my first attempt at character comedy 🎭 It’s tempted me to do more! Who knows where my one man, one wheelchair sketch act will pop up next! 😉
