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? ☀️💛🙏

my husband iv discovered is a secret Royalty lover : iv discovered that we keep on watching stuff about Princess Diana and maybe I can drop into our conversations about Prince Andrew if I read that book about Jeffery Epstein.

I tend to go into my own world of fantasy when it on its a celebrity life. I’m Holly Hunter in ‘ The Piano.’ starring Sam O’Neil …….

Hope you get some more sleep this morning @GezzaP .

@Glisten well done! That looks a very nice and neat dowel cut! 🙂 what are you making? A table?

@TAB that looks like the type of saw I used at the women's shed where I learnt about using a dowel in a joint (made a bench seat). We also sanded all our surfaces with an orbital sander to get them fully flush. I do recall using a plane in school woodtech classes, but not used one since. But I also haven't done much woodwork since either! 😅 I think ive made 2 things, about 15 years apart 🤣.

@Chasingsunsets i do have a few "rest days" of airline hopping, and a few "rest/independent local exploring" days before my 2 tours, as well as 3 days at the end of the trip before coming home. 😊 ive learned the need for this the hard way in the past 🤣

@PeppyPatti i hope you find the book interesting. 😊 I think I would find it hard to read myself because of knowing the things Epstine was convicted of.

I don't know much about the royals myself, but over the years I have learned a number of the names lol. So I do know who Charles, Andrew, Harry are. And of course I know the basics of the story of Diana's death.

I slept for 45 minutes. Going to try to sleep a bit more as I’m tired fbefore get third quote for painting I need done at 11.30.
Walked up shop to try more cat food with my puss. She eats food for a ffew meals then stops eating it very frustrating.

More seeds have germinated in my garden. Mostly sunflowers, but also some artichokes.

Got a paper to read and to do puzzles.

Hope you’re having a good day.

I hope you can get more sleep before this afternoon's get together @GezzaP ,

My son has the same trouble with his cat. I bought a whole box of something she ate and when put down for dinner, she stuck her nose up at it! That's happened a couple of times so far! She's a pain in the proverbial. We love her, though!

I love a sunflower. I like the way they follow the sun. It was my dad's favourite flower. I'm glad that you can still do some gardening as you seem to love it! I hope you have a good time this afternoon with your friend! 💛

@AlwaysMyself Re-building the Frankenstein Table. Someone built it from Rough Cut Jarrah with a top made from unsupported wall cladding. So ugly it was an abomination to furniture design.
