Back to the future

Dear Selina

So you've come back to your Good News Blog and wondering where the good news was in 2020?
Well congratulations, memory tells me you survived the Great Coronavirus Pandemic and are still living with your parents, who are now technically retired but still trying to run your life for you. However, one keeps you fed with rice and soup and the other always gives you potato chips and hot cups of tea, so life isn't as bad as all that.

You have two jobs which you've managed to keep and at good news is that in neither of them is your boss a bully. You don't take any medication and are certified sane, but if you do have a nervous breakdown it's more likely now you can afford a holiday every year instead as a preventative measure. Great stress management, well done you!

You have managed to avoid joining a cult, and haven't lost too much of your life's savings or had friends betray you and use you as their drug mule, but remember, you are a prize to be won! So be glad you haven't settled for anything less.

I hear you have a radio show called Garden Planet, who knew you were so famous that the entire planet wants to hear you talk about this revolutionary idea of making it into a garden. The only thing is, I think you giggle too much on your show and that precludes most people from taking you seriously, but who cares, you have 42 members on Facebook, and that's all that counts.

I have had it on good authority that some of the children at your school call you 'the funnest teacher'. What is that? Please do not spoil it by letting the other teachers know about this, or the library will be shut down and turned into a classroom what with the teacher shortage and all.

Upon perusing your photos, it seems to me you have grown your hair longer, but otherwise you are still as skinny as a rake and ought to eat more. 

But you don't need me to tell you that.

Lots of love from your bossy big sis...
