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? ☀️💛🙏

@Ru-bee I love that there are pet friendly cafes now. Back in the 70s my parents had friends with Afghan hounds. They used to take the 2 dogs everywhere including the pub. No one was game to tell them to leave the dogs at home because the couple were both 6 foot and built! Mum said the look on the other patron's faces was priceless!

So glad your goggie enjoyed his pup cup! 🐾🐕❤️

Me too @ENKELI I'm still new at this having a dog thing so I'm a bit cautious about where I take him. Today I went to a cafe with lots of outdoor seating and with a qr code on the menu so I didn't have go inside to order!

I think it's awesome any time I see a dog in a pub or in the shops, and I want them to be allowed all over! But I am aware that I'm an animal lover and not everyone wants a dog in their space which is completely reasonable

@Ru-bee how can that be reasonable not to have dogs (or cats in my case!) everywhere?! 😁

Ha ha I love dogs as well, it would brighten my day if I went to a cafe and saw goggies.

I don't like yappy dogs though, especially the one who lives behind my house and barks all times of the day and night.

I had a Border Collie, she was my healing dog when my long term relationship to my fiance ended. Kelly was the best dog in the world and I loved her so much that I couldn't consider getting another dog again.

They are the best judge of character. ❤️

Haha @Ru-bee it’s funny the workers always get stumped when I order a ‘coffee frappe and a slice of bacon on its own’ 😅😅 a lot of the time I get “sorry what was that 😅”


Omg toby is so lucky!! How nice is it when people are so nice to your pets. A soft serve now Indi would love that ☺️, it’s great watching the eat there treats i definitely agree Indi gets really big eyes just in pure joy haha.
Aw Toby a cavalier King Charles, beautiful! How old is he? And what colour is he? Sorry for the questions I love animals!


Yeah it’s so nice seeing people’s places!! I can’t wait until one day I have a place of my own, just somewhere safe and hopefully that no one can take away from me and no one to make it unsafe. I have been really patient hopefully a place will come up soon enough 💛🙏, but yes you are right it’s nice to dream for now 😊

Omg @AlwaysMyself thats amazing!! I hope you saved the insta posts heheh! That’s legendary though three scoops he would have loved that! I loved you story definitely gave me a smile and a great visual image of his three scoops and him getting his tongue around it hehe

Haha I love how they don’t forget where the good things are hehe Hope you have had a good day 💜

Hi @Chasingsunsets sorry for the delayed response, I have been a bit busy and then my internet was really playing up.

I had not heard of sepak takraw until you mentioned it. I think I am probably too old to play this game!

I'm glad you got your grips and you can get into playing some squash.

I had my volunteering, my lived experience work and two different physio appointments this week apart from my sport trainings and table tennis and some other catch ups

I am going to see a show on saturday - which I'm looking forward to.

I hope you have some nice things coming up

@REDLINEZ750 I contacted the council and they have the matter in hand. Getting another dog in the foreseeable future is not on the cards. I don't have the energy these days to look after one.
