The news is never really very happy, is it? As in THE news, not just news. Most of the time, news is in the news because it’s bad news. This fact is quite depressing.
So today I’d like to just share some good news. Like your daily news update, but only good stuff.
For a start, the world record for the longest plank has been beaten by a 58-year-old grandmother of 12. DonnaJean Wilde managed to plank for 4.5 hours. How crazy is that? If I did a minute of planking, I would think I’m unstoppable. DonnaJean is out here showing us all up. A super-granny, if you will. That’s some pretty happy news.
In animal news, a duck has successfully recovered from a gun-shot wound to the face (albeit from an air gun, not a hand gun). The RSPCA rescued this duck after it was shot in the face (so mean) and nursed it back to health. This duck is going to have so much street cred. When it was rescued, the RSPCA also brought along its other duck pal. I was delighted to hear that ducks have pals that they pair with. Good news all around. Wishing this duck a very happy recovery.
I couldn’t do this without mentioning that Taylor Swift’s new album was released yesterday. I mean that is good news. You’ll be happy to hear that I will not be doing an album review on it, because I would like to appear like a cool person, but I will say that, of what I have listened to so far, it’s a pretty standard one from her. I really like the song with Post Malone but the rest are pretty average (sorry Swifties). The new album is still good news for most though.
Well I hope these snippets of good news are able to brighten up your day. And at least they’re good talking points if you run out of things to say during small talk.
News doesn’t even feel like a real word anymore.
