We're on the hunt for a cheerful story to close out this week's show. Anyone seen any Genuinely Good News from the continent of Europe this week?

Ask your newsoutlet, news platform, AI and friends, to *also* tell you the good news.
I was neither mugged, stabbed or starving yesterday. True for most people. I'm happy and feel my efforts towards a better world are actually working.
@PartyPlantain We could do with adopting more of that attitude over here!
@europeanspodcast Adopt it then ❤️ As long as you don't mind sharing 😉 - I certainly don't.
How many people have decided to contribute to your podcast? How many are listening, week after week? I think you are doing very well in being a positive influence.
I think it is (too) easy to forget all the good stuff.
But we have a choice. Choose to think of the good stuff. Don't ignore the bad. But like my grannie always said 'tag det søde med det sure' ~ 'take the sweet with the sour'.
