I am personally getting quite sick of Covid-19 being all that we are talking about these days, and I imagine a number of you will be too.
I thought I would make a thread to discuss other news stories, specifically good news stories where possible. The only rules are that talk of 'that virus' are banned!
Some of the stories I find may have a link with 'that virus', but need not be understood in context so they are allowed (for example, this story about a father hosting a dinner party for his children).
The aim is that at least once a day I find something to post in this thread, so we all remember that 'that virus' isn't the be-all and end-all, and that there are positive things happening in the world!
