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? ☀️💛🙏

Popping in to say 'hi' and sending care to those who have had a rough day or two (sounds like quite a few of you). Hope tomorrow brings a slightly better day.

Today was a manageable day. That's a highlight. It was productive.

Sorry, my brain is a little too tired to be able to think what else to say. But I'm still here, and catching up on readings most days even if I don't post. 😊

Are you getting ready to wind down from the day @Kashmina ?

I am so jealous you can buy op shops outfits and go to op shops. My therapist and I have often moaned that we can’t shop in an op shop.
not really jealous but with a big smile on my face.

Hello @PeppyPatti 😊

Oh yes, I went for a walk after dinner and I am already showered and relaxing.

Op shopping can be fun but frustrating too! I look at all the teeny tiny cool clothes and I have to be lucky to find interesting clothes as a size 16 but I persist and I usually do.

Why cant you go op shopping?

Hi @AuntGlow lovely to reconnect! Not sure if you are in forum land still tonight 😊🙏

My highlight today has to be getting a coffee frappe to fuel some productivity 😊 and if indi could tell us her highlight I am sure it would be that she got a slice of bacon from the drive through haha. She isn’t a dog that drawls or has a lot of saliva but bring out the bacon from the drive though and she needs a bid while she eats it lol 😂

Also! I received my new gym runners in the post so that was exciting! New brand and style I haven’t had before, what my PT recommended, I then just took a risk in ordering them online (normally not how I operate but it was free returns so that felt safe enough 😂😂)

I already had a new pair of runners but she said the style makes you unsteady when doing weights as designed for running and walking so these are super flat (but could feel what she was saying re the rock lol). So excited to wear them in, then wear them to the next training session!

Hows your day going? What have you been up to? Hope it’s been a nice day for you 😊

Lovely Bird photos @Chasingsunsets Thanks.

Yes it's hard to figure out what type of Bird it is, sometimes.

Google is good on somethings, shocking on others...

Hi @SmilingGecko! Lovely to hear from you, I love that re in a state of flow I actually feel the same today!

@Cuddlebear, awesome rose!! It’s so perfect!! I bet it smells good! Is it your rose or did you find it on a walk? 😊

Aww @REDLINEZ750, that’s so kind of you to rescue the poor bird!! Generally with wildlife it’s catch, heal and release for them, who knows you may have seen the one you rescued flying above 😁

Ah yeah I get what you mean about impatient people @Blackcloud, I just leave them with there frustration now and try not let there negativity impact my day ☺️

Hey @heartathome, I walk with my dog ☺️🐶 we generally walk between an hour or two. I really enjoy my walks!! Try to find some different or interesting each walk!

sorry to hear about your day yesterday and your son and your sons dog 😔, thinking of you.

I hope it’s been a better day today 🙏, nice re cleaner and hope the cuppa catchup was good!!

Haha @0ddsidian, no I love your forum name!! Even better because I was able to crack the code and tag you!! So a win for me haha. It’s a good challenge I think!
Aw you are two kind rescuing birds. They are so pretty aren’t they. Very fragile though hey. They don’t have good odds when they get injured hey.
One of my highlights was rescuing a baby possum, I saw mum had passed away and went and got her to check the pouch. Sure enough she had a little one in the pouch still alive, they are properly attached to mums teat and you don’t pull them off so mum came too. The little one went off to the wildlife carer, a girl and she made it to release 💛

I have not voted in the bird competition but I will have to check it out!! Thanks for that!!

Love that you went out with your two dogs! What breeds are they? Maybe Great Danes if I was to guess 🐶

Oh @Mustang67 how cool!! Congrats!! Was that in the lucky dip draw?? fantastic!!

I’ll have to dig out my $5 dollar coin I won a long time ago! It is an olympics one!! When was your silver bar made re year? I also love your $5 gold emu coin!! So cool!!

Tonight I’ll try find my coin, I have a vague idea where it is!!

That’s really interesting re value of the coin @TAB

Nice to hear from you @Bunniekins, how did the fitness instructor go? Your dinner sounds so good!! Hope you feel better this evening 🙏

Haha thanks @rav3n! The bird wasn’t anything to special re colours or numbers of the species (I’d say there is a lot of them around) but very cool markings I think- I love the white strip at the back of there heads! Unique right haha. Also I hadn’t personally seen one of them before so that was cool!!

How has your day been? I hope you are loving your new office space outside! That sounds awesome!!!

I love your highlight!! How cool a little explorer now hey! What’s his favourite food?

I love your highlight @ENKELI !! Awesome job re your assistance with your mum, it def takes a lot of patience to assist family with things!! Good job 👏👏

Ohhh @Shaz51 I love your teapots!! What a score!! So awesome! Does the tea taste good in them hehe. I don’t drink a lot of tea but when I do I used to love red/green vanilla but I think it’s a deleted range now which is disappointing lol. What tea do you like to drink?
I hope you had a nice restful day today and that your shoulders are feeling better this evening 🙏

Hey @GezzaP How’s your garden going, I don’t know much about gardening what does it mean but sewing seeds, like planting them or something different? 😊

Nice to see you here @Kashmina 🫶, sorry about your car!! Nice about your purchases re your summer clothes!

I had an ok run with my car and then recently the one engine coil stopped working boy was that interesting 😂 was driving to the mechanics not knowing what the malfunction was and thought I was going to break down at any second lol. Then the other three malfunctioned 2 weeks later, least I knew what they were and just got a mobile mechanic to replace them. But yes that was an experience 🤭.

Hope your car is ok now!

Lovely to hear from you @AlwaysMyself, awesome to hear you say was productive I like those days!!

I hope you have a restful night 😀

Haha @REDLINEZ750 I like your link re police chase 😆, thanks for sharing!

@Chasingsunsets I am in a couple of groups where they will sell say a certain amount of numbers at a particular value and the members of the group, purchase the numbers. Once all the numbers have been purchased, all there names go onto a spinning wheel or some type of race, and basically if your number comes up, you win that coin. There are a few variations as to how they decide the winner, but it is all a bit of fun, with a chance to picking up a coin pretty cheaply. I usually only support the people that use this system to raise money for charity or to help people in need.

I purchased 4 spots on this wheel at the cost of $28 in total.

The Minted Bar was made in 2024.
