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? ☀️💛🙏

@Appleblossom I'm sorry to hear that you were mistreated in your course, particularly a course in which the course coordinator should have had knowledge about diversity and inclusion. I've found that disability workers are often so ableist and patronising. I think you did the right thing leaving the course, it sounds like an unhealthy environment.

@PeppyPatti thanks so much. Most people can't stand me and its been getting me down a bit lately. I appreciate your kind words.

I'm sorry to hear of your difficulties with your son. With bad marriages, children tend to express the anger towards the parent who they feel the most secure with. Children (even in adulthood) often feel the need to supress their anger towards a parent who triggers feelings of insecurity, so they express this anger towards the parent who made them feel more secure. Maybe a lot of your son's anger is actually about what the other parent did? I don't know your history, but often one person's anger isn't the whole story. Unfortunately, therapy and a good education often don't re-direct the anger to the correct person.

How did you go with your embroidery? Creative projects can be really healing for interpersonal struggles. It can help give a sense of self-belief.

Yeah, just let your younger brother do the showing off. You don't have any obligation to someone who gave birth to you and then actively harmed you throughout childhood. The act of giving birth doesn't give anyone some kind of magical entitlement over another human being. You only have a duty to parents who actually behaved the way that parents should.

@Judi9877 I'm glad to hear orientation went well. How have the first couple of weeks of the course been going?

@Glisten I have The Crow on video - am wondering whether it's time to upgrade to DVD. Ex friend dumped her spare DVD player on me but the bonus is that it also plays videos.

Sometimes I believe we truly do share a brain, especially when you say things like "the dimensions" as that is something bro and I say...

I like the dog teasing programme, I find it very satisfying. Each time I go into a dollar shop I think I'll buy one squeaky toy for Nige Numptys' pleasure. I haven't seen any squeakers at the op shop bro works at but then I wasn't really looking. Next time I'm there I'll check.

I agree, @PeppyPatti would have the perfect touch to my landscaping wishes.

I had a playdate with bestie at Funnings yesterday. Who knew 3 hours could pass that quickly? Unfortunately I was too busy yapping to notice I'd picked up 4 bags of mulch instead of potting mix. I can't be bothered returning them and I can use the mulch, it just means another Funnings trip. Oh no, how will I ever cope? 😁😂

Haven't had much good sleep the last few nights and now I am falling asleep on my keyboard. The silly thing is, I want to go to Funnings and pick up the potting mix even though I don't consider myself awake enough to drive. Why is it when I am falling-asleep-fatigued that I want to work in the garden?!

Today is St Urho's Day. St Urho drove the grasshoppers out of Finland and saved the grapes, thus saving the wine industry.
Imagine being half Irish and half Finnish? Your liver would hate you come this time of the year!

Hi @ENKELI

@you are keeping my brain for going crazy today.

um ……. Does anyone know the process of lawyers ??

I think my friend Lou and her very high priority lawyer husband might think I’m mad because I tried to ask them questions because I think the American lawyer has made it so she’s not getting my emails have I lost the plot ?

@ENKELI I blame Funnings for your mistake. The packaging is the very similar.

Put Paris’s car keys down. No driving for you ✋🏼

😂 BAHAHA Saintly liver damage LOL.

My granddaughter’s birthday 18/03. You don’t need a crystal ball 🔮 to know St Pat’s Day is going to be a catalyst, or is it the other way around?

Retiisi my darling, no one has videos or DVDs anymore. We’re all hooked up to Apple TV or Google Play etc.

It frees up a lot of space in the house. No need for those chunky entertainment units.

@PeppyPatti Peps, the lawyer gets paid to execute the will. That’s all.

They do their job and move on to next client.
