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? ☀️💛🙏

@Chasingsunsets thanks I did 5 of the "things to remember this Friday" (if I can just replace coffee with the good vegetable juice as I don't drink coffee).

The other 2 are actually things I really need to do. Thanks for the reminder.

This counts as something kind of small right?

I had a little box of cans to cash in. There was a kid in the local area collecting them for pocket money. I messaged him, but he never turned up so the box just sat there for months. Then I had another little collection and found out someone else was collecting them for charity; she came once, but not twice and now I have two boxes full of cans. But yesterday I spent a nice day doing nice things including cashing all those in for $12.30 and I've decided to keep doing it for myself. Not for the $$ (honestly, it costs more than that in fuel right now!) but it just felt really rewarding to feed those cans and bottles through the thingy and know that I was unloading a lot of rubbish that I'd been holding on to for no real good reason


@Chantarelle what do you mean feed those cans and bottles through the thingy? Do you have some sort of automated system where you live. In SA we have to take them to the recycling place and the guys have to manually count them, and then you just hope that they have counted them right, Lol

@Chasingsunsets Well done Indi. You're a Tropper.

I love the photos. At the moment the only birds I see are the magpies that sit on the wire from the shed to the house. But there is a tree beyond that, which is currently showing signs of bearing a lot of fruit (I don't know what sort of fruit), that my mum said the rainbow lorikeets love, so hopefully once the fruit ripens, I will get to see some beautiful, coloured birds.

@PeppyPatti I would love to join you all for a coffee, except I am in SA for now. Maybe one day might move to WA to be closer to partner's family.

That is great news about your stepmother buying you an apartment by the end of the year. I am so happy for you 🏠

@Chasingsunsets I love the sunflower with the Sunnys. It made me laugh out loud. Lol

Omg @Bunniekins I love the bunny you shared so much colour and love the buttons and of course the tail hehe.

Funny you ask me about air fryers, I am actually in a similar boat to you - I brought one awhile ago and have not used it! The oven has broken so thought it would be a great time to use it.
I do wonder who has an air fryer here and if they like it 🤔😊

I hope you have a lovely day @Bunniekins, I appreciate our morning Friday chat 🤩

@Shaz51 @Mustang67 @PeppyPatti @TAB


@Chasingsunsets I do have an air fryer, but have no idea how to use it, but my partner cooks chicken wingetts in it, and they come out beautiful and moist, and well cooked through. Haven't really used it for much else and it is now packed away until we find a rental.
