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? ☀️💛🙏

Evening @Kashmina! Ah coming off meds hey yeah that’s definitely a process and a half isn’t it!! Definitely feel for you there. Does not help to have some hurdles in the way re you neighbour, definitely makes sense.

Awesome to know you are keeping busy

crocheting! What are you making?? I which O could crochet!! That takes some skill!! 😊. YouTube sounds like another good way to keep busy, esp when it involves animals! I love watching animal shows !


I am okay just super busy actually just not sure where the hours in the day go. I feel like I can’t really get my lists of stuff I want to complete 😜. I am house sitting at the moment which has been a really lovely break but also so busy 🤣🤣, back to work tomorrow and I really feel like I’ve just got into holiday mode!! lol

I don’t think I’ll be able to make it onto the forum tomorrow but I hope during the well I’ll be able to at the very least just briefly pop by!!

Aw thanks @Till23, yeah I am sure not most are concerned I just prefer to get back to people in a timely manner 😜. Anyway it is what it is hey but I definitely do worry about it 😌.

Weekly table tennis sounds amazing though!! Would be a lot of fun and a good social activity!

yes I agree re squash! I’m surprised where I go hasn’t be knocked down 😬😬 I like that you don’t have to run to far to get the ball because your in a small cube 🤣🤣

ohh I am going to have to google pickleball after this msg!! lol

You sound so busy but honestly you have some good stuff going on good job creating all of it and you volunteering etc it’s so awesome to hear.

oh yep, sounds like my rosters 🤣 and yes love when I have the house to myself to sleep soooooo good!!

Cool to hear one day you’ll get a dog I wonder what you might get. Travelling sounds amazing too for the meantime for sure!!

Nah this house sit is a quick one, actually feels a bit too quick haha. I organised for days off so it’s been nice!! Just still so busy!! I had a heap of stuff I wanted to get done just life admin, barely made a dint in my list 😌🤪

Did you get any rain yet?? Always nice if it’s been hot to have the rain cool things down!

Yes @Shaz51 it’s hard work 🤣. So many plants and just including all those that aren’t covered by the sprinklers lol.

I don’t know how all you fantastic people do it honestly 😆, very good effort everyone- total appreciation of all your garden and flower pics everyone!!

@DownMoreThanUp @GezzaP @ENKELI

Thats not good that you still aren’t feeling great @Shaz51, thinking of you! Toast for dinner is still good enough, enjoy the coffee if you have one! What’s on for you tomorrow?

💫Highlight time 💫


What’s your highlight?😊🙏

Mine has to be being back on the forum, house sitting and today I cooked something in their oven 😀. I don’t like doing anything that’s new and worry about breaking something or just doing something wrong so was actually going to just throw out what I brought to cook and have something that didn’t involve using there appliances.

Well I went back and forward with my plans for tea over the afternoon and decided I was going to cook it, it worked out fine and nothing is broken and the house is still standing 😂. Seems so small but massive for me 😊


Swims in the pool with the dogs, a lot of fun, I got to help my girl to hopefully strengthen her back legs. However this would need to be daily for progress but I might look into hydro for her!

*frogs* 🐸

While I sit on the couch with the dogs just before I bounce off the forum after this post it’s been funny I have started the speaker with music to build my motivation for the next tasks haha. Now it’s speaker vs frogs 🤣🤣 they have definitely upped there volume, so funny, I have the best of both worlds, music and still can hear the frogs 🤣, I’m unsure if they like my music though 🤭 🐸

Have a good evening everyone 💛

@Chasingsunsets I am proud of you re: dinner making. 😊🤗

Dog hydro is a thing - hope you can find a place for it that doesn't cost the earth. 🙂

Oh, and I thought of you whilst I was overseas because I saw some frogs on the last 2 days! I tried to take a photo but they weren't great, but when I post my holidays photos I will try to remember to post them & tag you! It was too dark to see if they were green; it was in Bali.

Good morning @Chasingsunsets . Glad to hear your news from yesterday. I slept for nearly 8 hours hooray! Feeling good.

Thanks for the reply @Chasingsunsets !

I am still crocheting coasters but I am doing varying kinds. I would like to make a table sleeve and try a small wall hanging soon.

You sound very busy and I hope you have some time for yourself 😊

House sitting does sound like fun but work too as you are not in your own home and you are more conscious of how you keep the house.

Have a fab week and see you on the other side 💚

@Chasingsunsets Thank you for keeping this valuable thread going and inviting lots of members.

@AlwaysMyself @GezzaP @Kashmina

@Bunniekins so much range in music… lol

I haven’t listened to Pearl Jam in decades.

I made it through organ playing; hymns as requested, and 2 voluntaries by Handel. I had one calm piece and one more celebratory and trumpet like.
