Anyone got any good news?

[Myfridgeiscool]

There’s so much upsetting news at the moment. Can we have a good news thread please?

My contribution is that my friend is getting a rescue dog, he sounds great.

Good idea, thank you! There are loads of blackberries out already which probably isn't a great indicator climate wise but they are tasty! Also there are tiger cubs at Longleat https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr5985rp66eo

I got a great grade on my first uni assignment. First one I’ve done in 30 years

Well done!

We had approx 5 mins of light rain today after what feels like months without!

My dd has just got a new job and I am really pleased for her.

Just got a letter from the DWP to say that my PIP award has been extended until at least 2032

It’s my Friday today!

Our daughter who has CP is now officially allowed to so (some) walking without her leg braces/AFO.

Great news - this must be a huge relief

Thanks for these!
Congratulations to those with successes and rain!

This is magical news!
Got something in my eye….

I’m going out for a glass of wine and bowl of chips for dinner! 😎

7 years on from DH dying I finally feel like I am back in a good place and applied to train as a wedding celebrant this week

Ive had a recent cancer diagnosis that had a strong possibility of mets. My first scan has come back as all clear so Im taking that as a win!

Some lovely good news on this thread.

I’ve had several pieces of good news recently which have brought an end to unsettling situations. Feels good. Also, a relative in poor health is on the upturn.

This is also off the scale happiness!!!!!

My younger daughter just told us she is expecting a new baby in January. It will be her 2nd child. it will be our 4th grandchild. We are so excited to meet this new little person next year.

It’s raining in Norfolk

The combine came again this week and took the rest of the wheat, while the sun shone.

In possibly the best news of the year, my neighbours have taken down their England flag. Plus today a friendly cat came and sat next to me on my lunch break in the park, which was extra lovely as I was super stressed and nearly didn't take a lunch break at all.

Why does it bother you that they had an England flag?

My type 1 diabetic 3 year old hasn’t had a night time low in weeks 🥳🥰

Tidied a bit of my flat today, after being mentally beat down by the school holidays

Vacuumed the living room, which already now has breadcrumbs on the floor 🙄 but i'm counting it as a win x

Mainly because it was used to represent views that are the opposite to my own. I know this because my neighbours have expressed their views to me and the timing when it went up etc, As it was being used as a symbol for things I disagree with, I personally really did not like having it in my line of sight all the time. However everyone is entitled to express themselves freely and I made no comment about it to them. Each to their own- we’ve helped each other out in neighbourly ways over the years and I will of course continue to do so happily.
The pole also squeaked a lot which disturbed me at night this summer with the windows open.
I expect snobbishness on my part also comes into play. We all have our faults!
Im very happy it’s down, for all those reasons!
