I'm still concentrating on good, positive news at the moment

When eccentric doctor and compulsive hoarder Harold Carr died at the age of 89, his relatives faced a daunting task to sort through his possessions.

His home was packed with piles of medical machinery, 1,500 beer steins, thousands of receipts and even a World War Two spy drone.

But all the effort became worth it when they opened the door of his garage  -  and struck gold.

Inside they found a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, one of only 17 ever made.

The historic automobile with only 26,284 miles on the clock still has 99 per cent of its original parts.

It will be sold in Paris next month and is strongly tipped to surpass the £4.7million world record for a car at auction.

and I really liked this New Year's greeting someone sent me:

May your 2009 be happy and prosperous.
And remember...
Lots of things will happen no matter what you do.
But some things will only happen if you make them happen.
