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? ☀️💛🙏

@PeppyPatti I had to get a light bar, thermometer, heater, filter and water aerator for one lousy fish! Fortunately my boss had given me the tank and the bits and pieces that go with it including filter but everything else I got from a dodgy fish place in Forrie.

Maybe a nice coffee mug filled with chocolates would be easier!!

I think it was 5 years I woke up and realised my life wasn’t thinking about survival and desperation. I decided to make the bed every day ……

😽☝🏽I shower every second day but lately every day again ……..

im thinking about finding a cute little dressing table and kitchen trolley.

Oh we are doing hot chocolate aren’t we or a nice cuppa aren’t we @ENKELI ??

@ Glisten writes ;

meaning

Meaning: Instead of panicking or trying to fix the chaos, the speaker chooses to observe and savor the moment. "Tea" represents a slow, civilized, and deliberate act. It implies a kind of acceptance or even dark amusement at the beautiful, doomed reality they have found.

Hi everyone! How your weekend been?
Apologies for late replies, works got in the way 🙈

sorry this is a long one, may split the replies in two posts 🙏💛

It has been so awesome reading everyone’s posts!!

@MissGremlin! I love the sock thread idea for sure definitely think it’s something that should be created!! Looking forward to it!!

Yesss I’m so keen on getting more frog socks and maybe some kelpie socks haha and some more lol

I love your cool socks @ENKELI !! Oh that is so awesome about the signed pair how cool!! Yes I am soo keen for a sock thread!! Thanks @MissGremlin its going to be awesome!!

omg @DownMoreThanUp I love those frog socks you posted 😂🐸 I do think they could be the best frog socks in town lol!!
ah no socks for you at @DownMoreThanUp? Funny when it’s a bit cooler or camping it’s socks and crocs or socks and thongs to keep warm lol. The bush way 😂

Those thick socks would have been good comfy when you are wearing your steal cap boots I imagine!

How’s your day been @Glisten? Have you fixed or began making anything recently since your hook for your tool box? I found some occupations on my (make believe linked in page 😅)

@Bunniekins might like my first one lol

- Carrot Quality Technician (Rabbit Division)

Work at a rabbit food processing plant, checking that every carrot stick is crisp enough to impress every bunny, only the best carrots are kept!! 🥕

—Cheeseburger Pickle Placement Officer

I monitor a high-speed burger line to ensure every burger has pickles, all correctly spaced. A strong advocate for extra pickles on a burger too 😂😋

Overnight Ice Cream Flavour Stirrer (Dairy Plant)

I spend my shifts stirring tubs of semi-frozen ice cream so giant mixers don’t seize up.

I get paid to hang out with ice cream and working out flavour combinations to perfection 🍦🍨

@AlwaysMyself may like the last one haha.

Let me know @Glisten if you have any other occupations in mind that I have forgot about hehe.

Hey @GezzaP looks like you have a good week ahead of professionals looking at your back. Funny I also have the acupuncture tomorrow and chiro Tuesday, would have preferred further spaced out but it’s just how it’s turned how and just excepting it as it is. Hopefully the acupuncture goes ok first time I’ll be seeing this person so fingers crossed 🤞. Glad you have continued to be able to keep moving, I have heard movement is better for backs right?

Oh you like walks too!! Cool you saw some lorikeets! They make a racquet don’t they haha but so pretty! I have rescued a few off the roads, not great survival rates post a car hit but the ones that don’t make it at least they get put down comfortably at the vets the poor things. And if they do make it they get good treatment so they can be released back into the wild. Such beautiful birds.

awesome that you live near a native plant gully sounds like a fantastic place to walk!! So cool that you saw a koala there!

@Appleblossom, Iove those boomerang bags!! Thanks for the link I haven’t heard of them before, unfortunately I’m not skilled enough to make them but if you or anyone here make any I’d love to see them!! Such a cool idea!!

I love your glimmers so nice to read, I also love the zoo 😊

Hi @0ddsidian, omg firstly that took me a long time to work out why your tag wouldn’t work 🤣🤣, love having dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD just to name a few 🤣🙊 that was a challenge 😂😂 so finally I figured it out - it’s not the letter “O” its the number “0” if anyone else has trouble 🤣. What a good brain work out for the evening 😂😂, thankyou I quite enjoyed that one- because I was actually able to figure it out eventually 🤭.
So nice to see you on here!! I have not heard of the spud shed but will have to check them out! I have heard of the Sydney sock project though 🤣😆. I love the socks you got your dad from the sound shed! Got to love the bin chickens lol. I caught an injured bin chicken a couple of months ago had a bung wing, I rescue animals any time I see something, yep I am one of those people lol. Actually brings me to today’s highlight but might post tomorrow as getting late 😊🐢

Oh @Bunniekins!! That is so cute, I also love the Maggie pies calls, so awesome! I also like walking with indi or when I had my old dog as they would tend to swoop the dog and not me 😂😂. I love the kookaburras too, I didn’t realise the kookaburras would want to hurt or have them for breakfast? 😬 crazy!

Oh cool @AlwaysMyself I like the idea of non identical ones but the same theme!! I think after this convo and @MissGremlins thread I gonna have sooo many socks 🤣🤣

@AlwaysMyself you might need a pair from the Sydney sock project 😅😅

A dog high tea! No way that sounds awesome! I hope it was a lot of fun for you and your girl, how did it go? 🐾🐶

Hi @REDLINEZ750 I did not know about the world migratory bird day!! Thanks so much for letting me know, I am sad I’m reading this late!! That pic is fantastic I wonder what birds they are in the pic! I find the migratory stuff so amazing! Such distances they travel!!

I love the tag to all fur babies that’s awesome too! Great idea!! How’s your lil lion going 🐶

Haha @TAB I love the dopamine songs you post so good!!!! Thanks for my dose of dopamine lol!! Ps I love your socks, practical cool colours and free - can’t get better than that!! Oh maybe a fluro pair of grip socks lol 😂😂
