This isn't quite in the same vein as other posts of good news on this thread, as it involves a terrible tragedy, but:

My daughter went to Portugal yesterday, with her husband, my grandson and his friend. Within a few hours of arriving, they had to flee for their lives, away from the terrible forest fire raging where they were staying.

Dozens of people died in their cars, trying to escape, but my daughter, son-in-law and the boys made it to safety, though only just!

So, it's good news that they're OK, but there have been tears too, of relief. They're all flying back on Tuesday, which was the earliest they could get a flight back together.

Rather than end on a sad topic, my other good news is that I recently won an award at the magicians' club I'm a member of, for an inventiveness contest. There were only three other entrants, but I don't care!
