How's that?

So sorry, Pink, it’s impossibly hard at the best of times, but at the moment, it must feel unbearable
Sending lots of love

Oh Pink so sorry. Sending all positive vibes for her recovery.

 @Pinkarsedfly we're all here for you

pinkarsedfly feeling for you all. Sending healing vibes to your mum and hoping all is well.

pinkarsedfly thinking of you and so sorry you have this worry

Thank you everyone. I’ve had a positive update...there are some signs of improvement.

Not out of the woods, but things are a shade more positive.

Thinking of you and your mum Pink. Wishing her a speedy recovery and sending you love and strength 💕

Thinking of you too Pinkarsedfly. Glad your update is more positive.

Thank you. You’re all so kind

Think how happy we will all be when you report she's on the mend! (No "if" allowed in that sentence.) Fingers still crossed though.

Bloody Telegraph have moved their good news round up into premium!

Henry says hello. Last night he threw his toys around then flopped down with his foot in his water bowl.

Hoping for good news today @Pinkarsedfly

@Bunnyflop That's a really good technique I will try that too and I've noticed too so many more people smiling when they are out and about it's really nice.

@Arcadia I think il get used to it I'm nervous this morning him going and he seems nervous too ,but I think we will be ok I can't imagine not cuddling him either so I'll have to just get over it somehow!

@Pinkarsedfly Sorry to hear about your mum I hope she does keep improving x

@gingerbreadslice hope his day and yours go okay.
The bonus is you'll be so pleased to see him when he gets home! It makes you appreciate each other more I think.

Morning. Wishing you all an easy day

I am having a takeaway this evening, I've been out for a lovely walk already and seen masses of bluebells and wildflowers and I've also been watching the National Theatre's Jane Eyre on YouTube. Watch it if you can, it's brilliant.

We're another day closer to the end of all of this. Well done us.

@Arcadia I hope it does we've not been apart in around a month for more than half hour a little bit of me is looking forward to some time out from him

Telegraph good news link, hopefully it works.

Our girl is now in isolation and was swabbed for cv19 this morning. We’re pretty sure she’s got it. We’re so worried and can’t do a damn thing to help her.

Hope there’s better news for you today Pink

Morning everyone

I have woken up Feeling really depressed and down about the whole situation today. I daren't even look at the main news sites. Has anyone got any positive / hopeful corona related news or anything good to say about all this.

I am honestly begging ....this is the worst day for me ever 😭 sorry for my distinctly depressing contribution

I'm so sorry you're having such a tricky morning Dianne. I found on the worst days, the best thing I could do was distract myself. I read a lot of "light" books during that time. I made myself go to a book rather than look at news or statistics.
One I particularly enjoyed was "The Trials and Triumphs of Grace Atherton" by Anstey Harrjs.

I also used the 54321 grounding technique people have described earlier in the thread when I was feeling really panicky.

Here's the guardian good news round up. Whilst there's nothing hugely new in terms of treatments etc, scientists are working away and lots of trials are underway - I read somewhere, don't think it was this article - that some results are due on anti-malarial and HIV treatment drugs on the 15th April.

Keep on keeping on, take it minute by minute if you have to, but you can do this.

Morning all. Thoughts are with everyone having a tough time - @Pinkarsedfly, @Alsohuman and @DianneWhatcock and all of you

Met this lovely lady and her babies out running today. I don’t think Mummy approved of the Lycra-clad giant wobbling her way so she maintained a proper social distance and retreated back into their garden pretty sharpish. 🐓 🐥 🐥 🐥 They made me smile... hope they do the same for you all.

Thank you @EsioTrot and @Spudlet

Will have a read of that guardian article

Good news about the potential drug trials as well let's hope we do hear something about those

Going to make myself go for a run now I don't want to but I know I'll feel a bit better

Thank you Spudlet, love a duck! Does the Telegraph link work for you all?
