Good news stories

January can be a really tough month to get through, so I thought it might be nice for us to share some lighthearted news stories from across the world.

Did you see this one about the man who found out a mouse was tidying his shed? He set up a camera after noticing things were moving about overnight. Turns out a little mouse was tidying things up for him. 

I've also read that the London Mayor is thinking about putting control panel stickers and cardboard steering wheels on the Docklands Light Railway trains. These are usually driverless trains, so people already love to scramble into the front seats and pretend they're driving. He says it will be fun "for the children" to have the extra realism to imagine they're driving the train. I have a feeling it won't just be the children who enjoy it  

And there was this one too. People in Brazil reported that they saw some kind of 10 foot alien monster in the hills and caught it on video. Turns out it was just a basketball player on a hike.

Have you seen any more fun or positive news stories lately?

I saw a story on the BBC I quite liked, Hertfordshire county council (quite near me) are going to be using a robot with AI to repair imperfections in the roads before they turn into pot holes.

Ooh that's so interesting @66Mustang, I hope it works out and they can roll it out across the country.

I love this story.  Proof it's never too late to learn.
