A small polite request.
Media outlets, you’re doing a grand job bringing us the latest on the Corona Virus. It’s an awful global emergency which could affect us all. I understand that.
Where possible, can u also cover some good news stories please. Thanks. Asking for a friend.

Not only did this show change my life, but everyone else who was involved with it. Some made gazillions & got new teeth, some successful acting & singing careers & some r just plain grateful *me*
Cheers 🍻 We’ve done it & made it through another week. It is week 10 isn’t it? Pat on the back & raise a glass ‘cause it hasn’t always been easy.
The girl who doesn’t drink, now drinks. Stay safe & I promise not to get hammered🙃 A few hours to pimmsoclock. What are u having?
To the cyclist who missed me by a gnat’s whisker this morning.
