Urgh. Anything positive to discuss?

The world seems grim right now with Covid, Brexit, endless atrocities, and my cold, uncaring birth family are going to the extreme to prove they don't give two hoots about me.

Is there anything nice we can discuss? e.g. I'm so happy that All Creatures Great and Small and The Great British Bake Off are coming back in the next few weeks. Also Strictly Come Dancing. Lots of silly shows to distract us.

Maybe this is a thread for people who have had enough, to come and talk about lighter, happier subjects.

  • Well, I managed to endure my child's birthday party.

    But I did spend most of it hidden in the corner with my noise cancelling headphones on, hahahah Smiley

  • I know what you mean. I liked my kid but not really the parties.

    But if you can remember how it feels to be a child and what they like and dislike, whether you are autistic or not, you can weild your adult power and all the advantages of age to make 'em smile sometimes, or stop them crying, 

    Your kids can be at least as much fun as your animals, until a third party or T.V.programme convinces them that you are an idiot, best to be ignored.
