Two things today

1) Unexpected cheque in the post for £47 from my old gas and electricity supplier as they overcharged me two years ago!
2) It's raining for the first time in a month. Gives the garden a much needed drink.

A nice stress free shop in the Supermarket this afternoon(not something you can say often)

Everyone so polite,no big family groups blocking the aisles or kids running around.Restricted numbers going in..Let’s hope this carries on when the crisis is all over.

I just clicked on a thread thinking it was the “Good News only” thread, but it was a different thread berating government etc. I thought, “how is this good news?”

So the good news is I clicked on the wrong thread to read the “Good News only” thread, so wasn’t so bad as I was first reading in wrong thread.

I saw a neighbour, though not a close one, who we haven't really got to know, come down the path and knock on the door. When I got there to answered it she had gone but I found a nice bunch of flowers with a note saying ' hope this brightens your day'. How so very thoughtful.

Had an 18th , 17th and 16th Birthday parties this last week and cost me hardly anything as they would normally have had loads of people invited to respective parties.

3 cakes a few presents and loads of cash saved kerching !

In these dark times, somewhere purely to share good news and much needed positivity.

Personal / family successes.
Random acts of kindness - given or received.
Small 'wins' that made the day, on balance, a good one.

Here is the story of a former soldier with a massive heart and who's organisational ability has allowed a small boy to grow to manhood and enjoy a full and normal life.

Possibly worthy of a thread of his own but I give you.......Marcus Rashford.

Drawing on the experiences of his own impoverished childhood he drew attention to the plight of kids going hungry in this wealthy country of ours. Having helped secure free school lunches during lockdown he is now working on an initiative to engage the supermarkets to help provide food for the most deprived children.

Footballers rightly get a bad name for their inappropriate behaviour but here's a 22 year old star driven to making the world a better place.
