Tonight just after 7 some fellow netballers and I will be talking to @emmagillradio on @BBCCornwall about walking netball! Tune in if you can especially if you live in the #westcornwall area and want to get active! #walkingnetball @EnglandNetball

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

@TiffyTrus @SimonOHagan @BBCCornwall @StonexEmma Agreed! Or at least it to be left open to interpretation. Poor Jean seems to be doomed with no room for happiness!

[Tiffany Truscott 〓〓 @TiffyTrus]

Have you been reading along with the @BBCCornwall Book Club #KernowReads for #April ?
@StonexEmma chose the title and will be with me to talk about it this evening. We will also hear from Book Club member @LauraHerbert_

Cornish hills are lies I tell you. Get to the top and they still keep going. There are lies, damn lies and Cornish Hills.

Last year I joined a football team! (Who would have thought it!)

But we really need some more kit to step up our game ahead of joining the league!

It would be amazing if you could help by donating via the link!
Thank you!

@hi9io are using data, tech and AI to combat real issues of food poverty being faced everyday in Cornwall. Not only that but @mywoisme is taking on a huge challenge to raise awareness and start the conversation. #extraplace

[CIoS Digital Skills Partnership @CIoSDSP]

Hi9 are gathering data on foodbank opening times, donations and volunteering needs, to inform the first comprehensive, accessible database of Cornish foodbanks. This enables users to chat to ‘Debbie’, Hi9’s AI assistant, to find out accurate, up-to-date information⬇️

Have you started your own #business in #Cornwall?
What advice would you give to others starting up?
I'm talking on @BBCCornwall today about the help and support that's available here for people to realise the dream of being your own boss.

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

Catch me talking to @TiffyTrus shortly on @BBCCornwall about the latest #kernowreads

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

This was a great read with lots of twists and turns!

[GlobalLiteratureinLibrariesInitiative @GlobalLitin]

The Dancing Face, by Mike Phillips.

University lecturer Gus knows that stealing the priceless Benin mask, The Dancing Face, from a museum at the heart of the British establishment will gain an avalanche of attention.

Which is exactly what he wants. #Thrillers

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

Any excuse to whip out the elf onesie! We didn’t get to go for a meal but we did get to laugh a tonne!!

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

Talking about the #kernowreads book The Dancing Face by Mike Phillips with @TiffyTrus shortly on @BBCCornwall Tune in if you can!

This was the next day and I looked to the heart monitor and couldn’t see any extra beats! It was a pretty emotional moment!

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

A year ago today I had urgent catheter ablation surgery to fix an Arrythmia that was gifting me 90,000 extra heart beats a day and causing heart failure. The surgery was painful and I had to wear a mask throughout but it worked!!

I am so grateful for science and medicine!

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

It took me 1.5 years to get a cardiac referral despite cardiac history and rough symptoms.

If something is up with your body get it checked out and don’t stop going until you’re taken seriously!

My new GP and asthma nurse saved my life.

I’m not 100% yet but I’m on my way!

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

@chloerickard @HallforCornwall @BBCCornwall @TiffyTrus Enjoy and take tissues I wish I had!

[Laura Herbert @LauraHerbert_]

Had the most wonderful evening watching #FishermansFriendsMusical this evening @HallforCornwall catch me on @BBCCornwall Tuesday at 20:15 with @TiffyTrus for a mini review!
