What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

Those bird calls were both amazing and hilarious! I'm glad I don't have any of them outside my bedroom window. 🙃

@DownMoreThanUp how are you today my dear friend? Does your wife know how to help you when you are in your down moods?
I always wished I had a partner or close friend who was able to help m. Unfortunately my ex friend would turn things back to her if I ever told her I was in a down period and my previous relationship had my ex telling me he thought that because I was happy and in love I should go off "those pills"

Exodus 14:14 🙂

Today my highlight is that I am in a good mood after 2 days of being cranky after not getting much sleep.

@Bunniekins thanks Bun, Nana passed away nearly 40 years ago but sometimes I wish she'd had longer. (She had cancer). She showed me the basics and if I had motivation I think with mums' help I'd be able to make the quilt. I think mum still has the unfinished quilt, I should mention it to her.

I love beef Stroganov too but I cheat and use a recipe base.

Oooh favourite recipes. Chicken and Leek risotto

Slow cooker tamale pie (very easy!)

Thai green curry (I like to make the curry paste myself).

I love spaghetti but have been lazy of late and use a pre made base.

When I was in my 20's I was dating an Italian guy and he admitted that my Bolognese was as good as his Nonna's. I never let him forget it lol!

Chicken casserole with cheese dumplings

Cinnamon and apple muffins

Macaroons - not the fancy macaron, I have no idea how to make them!!

I still have my cook book from when I was in high school 40 years ago and I use it a lot for recipes like chocolate cake, macaroons and the like. I was actually looking for the book recently to contribute to the Sane e-newsletter and hope it didn't get lost when I moved back home.

@Glisten argh! That would have did me in! I definitely need to get my own sauna.

I mentioned this to my brother and he shook his head. "Only you would have a sauna." I then reminded him that I am not the only person with a backyard sauna and reminded him that I used to know 2 people who had saunas.

The more I think about it the more I am allocating money from my inheritance to backyard landscaping and sauna.

I'll give you a key, you can use it whenever you like 😍

@ENKELI my beef strog recipe comes off the back of the Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup tin 😂. Not quite a premade sauce base, but also definitely a cheats method compared to the original way!

@ENKELI Did I mention it was a heap of young’ns and young couples. Mid to late 20s that caused the spillover and endless queues of human sardines waiting to use the three saunas, steam room and human soup spa.

Back in the day it would have been pre-drinks time.

Hello everyone!! I have really loved catching up and hearing about everyone’s highlights and what everyone has been up to!

How’s everyone’s day been today!

I managed to get to the beach for a walk down the beach this evening, it filled my cup!!

Indi in the shallows and a cool sunset that actually looked pretty epic on a pic I took, I find my phone pics of sunsets often don’t do them justice!
