Anyone else had their fill of bad news? I know I wish I could turn on the 10 o'clock news without wincing at the stories of people going hungry, getting poorer, losing their homes and jobs...
So, I'm hot on the trail of some much needed good news and here's what I've found:
- Peter Andre is voted "top dad" : One of my guilty TV pleasures is Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter. Pete seems like a nice, down to earth bloke and a good dad so it's nice to see him recognised, even if it is in a contest sponsored by Daddies Sauce.
- Women with breast cancer can now live just as long as healthy women: Successful breast screening programmes mean that tumours are being found early and women can go on to lead a healthy life. Good to hear a positive story about the NHS.
- Four cups of tea a day cuts heart attack risk: I love a cuppa, so it's great news that tea drinking has been found to cut down the chance of a heart attack, as well as boosting hydration and alertness. At last, a favourite British pastime that's healthy!
- The world's oldest church is discovered in Jordan: A news story thats genuinely amazing -- archeologists have discovered a church they believe to date back to between 33AD and 70AD, which makes it the earliest known place for Christian worship.
- Sir Alan will choose his Apprentice today: As a fan of The Apprentice, I'm revving up for tonight's finale. It looks to be an exciting send off for the show, as an unprecedented four finalists get to show their mettle in a last ditched attempt to get hired.
Phew! I set out to find ten stories, but have settled for five: it's tough uncovering the heartwarming, uplifting, exciting and amazing -- and I didn't want to resort to the story of the pig in boots that doesn't like walking in mud... although it did make me titter.
