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

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? ☀️💛🙏

Oh no @Kashmina !! That is less than ideal, especially after volunteering and doing some nice for people/giving back.
what an inconvenience for you!! Did you get home ok? How do you fix it? That is very annoying!!

worse than a dead car battery right??

definitely thinking of you, if this helps I elbowed my car side mirror the other day and broke the plastic where the indicator light is 🤯

hope it’s a better day for you tomorrow 🫶🌻

@Chasingsunsets I confess, I ate the whole pack. But it was only a small pack ha ha ha!

Diet starts tomorrow. I bought heaps of fruit and vegetables today so I have no excuse! And no more shortbread waaah!!

Hi @Chasingsunsets I better head off shortly as it will be tomorrow before you know it!!

I am feeling ok today, some social exercise and got some things done.

It's been a nice day, sunny but not too hot. Was looking at my trees and listening to the birds chirping earlier, then listening to the wind in the trees, which was nice.

I am retired now (I sometimes still do the odd thing, here or there), but yes I did a couple of stints of unusual hours in my life. I quite liked working on weekends and having days off in the week, because you could go to the bank or shopping when there were less people about. Now of course you can do a lot of that stuff online so it's not so much of a thing.

I've had a few different main jobs in my life, as well as the working, lots of different part-time jobs at times. I've worked since I was 14 years old, I have pretty much always worked, even when I studied at uni I had part time jobs. I have also studied quite a bit, a mix of full-time and part-time study. So a couple of different shift work jobs, but it's probably best not to say.

I hope you have a lovely week and I'll probably see you around here and there.

Hey @Till23 same here 😅, thanks so much for popping by before bed it’s so lovely to hear from you.

The weather where you are sounds lovely! It was raining just before where I am! Lovely sleeping weather 💜

That’s awesome you have retired! Hats off to you! I hope I reach retirement, maybe ☺️. Yess I love that we both did shift work, I think the same thing re on your days off and bank and shops haha definitely some perks! (In a funny way it has me wondering if we are in the same job/ or you were but I’ll keep wondering ☺️🫶) but sounds like you are bit of an ‘all rounder’ and can’t do lots, awesome till!!

hard that we can’t mention here hey !!

I’m the same as you started work at 14 and a couple of months and worked ever since. It’s odd to have days off (like sick days) not my style and definitely wasn’t brought up to have sick days either. I have to have forced rest or I’ll just keep on going.
have you been in retirement long? What are the things you have liked about it?


I hope you have a lovely week too till, I really love our chats, def big appreciation over here so thanks for making my night 😊🌻💛

Haha @ENKELI thanks for the belly laugh, alright ok no more shortbread talk it’s veggie talk now 😅☺️

I do loveeeeee broccolini though delicious !! Haha.

if you ever make curries and I thought about this while at the markets today, Thai egg plants!! Omg so good !! Great in a curry. Taste like not much (lol) but love the crunch and just like them 😅😅, have you even seen or tried them they are like a size of a just bigger than a 50c coin 😊

I am sure you could put these in other dishes not just curries though.


has anyone else tried these? 😋

Oh no @Shaz51 ! I slept ok, but am up early as usual. Just checking emails and Facebook. Will have a break then do physio exercises and chair yoga before doing some Spanish lessons.
