For those wondering where I disappeared to, I have been struck down by an awful lurge, but I’m back and fighting for the good news!!
Looking through today much of news seems be about hidden treasures or improving economic prospects so it’s all about sparks and little glimmers today. Yes, I could have goe with the Banksy story but I think the Viking deserves the top spot.

I have to say the story that made me smile the most (and posted earlier) has been Crown Prosecution Service’s Director of Public Prosecution (For US readers he’s sort of the UK equivalent of a District Attorney) Kier Stamer’s statement that “Crude Victim Tests have to go” in an interview with the BBC.

The one that has warmed my heart the most is the story of 79 year old Kirk Reverand Aftab Gohar. Forgiving can be REALLY hard especially when you can never replace what has been lost but my heart goes out to this Scotsman.There’s a LOT of news from the weekend. Hope you can find your own gem to make you smile.
