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 Got out of the house and went for short drive.

bought much needed new air fryer

going to bring air fryer out of the car and, fingers crossed, don’t make my shoulder worse. Limitations due to having small tear in shoulder tendon. 😢)

Ohhh how cute @Bunniekins 🥰🐶🤩, I bet you enjoyed the doggy cuddles!! The weather is the morning sounds nice! Hope you didn’t get wet this afternoon 😁 ☔️

@Flutterbug9, an airfryer! How exciting! I know @Bunniekins was asking me about them the other week when I finally opened mine hehe. @Jynx @TAB @ENKELI have one too! Hope you can get it out of the car without injuring your shoulder. I wonder if you might be planning to cook with it tonight 💃☺️.

ah where PT stops and EP starts ? @Chasingsunsets as in physical trainer/ exercise physiologist. i stumbled onto this one thru DVA. guess the difference is behind the scenes; stuff you dont see. like every workout different, sometimes slightly, sometimes a lot and in dift ways. i have had aches and strains go away with one pool session of targeted exercise.

lets burn some coal and ask AI..

Choosing between a PT and an EP comes down to your health status, goals, and funding options:

Personal Trainer (PT)Qualifications: Usually holds a Certificate III or IV in Fitness (often no university degree required).Target Audience: Apparently healthy individuals without significant injuries or illnesses.Focus: Sport-specific training, body composition changes (muscle gain/fat loss), and motivation.Rebates: Generally not eligible for health insurance or Medicare/NDIS rebates.

Content/trigger warning
Exercise Physiologist

(EP)Qualifications: Requires a 4-year university degree and registration with Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA).Target Audience: People managing chronic diseases, pain, pre/post-surgery recovery, or complex medical histories (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular issues).Focus: Clinical exercise as medicine, functional rehabilitation, and managing medication interactions or medical limitations.Rebates: Eligible for private health fund rebates, Medicare (under a GP Chronic Disease Management Plan), NDIS, and WorkCove

Oh thanks @TAB that is very helpful! Excuse my lack of knowledge here haha, so are they a physio?? Ha! I really need to some reading! @Meowmy

TAB, How are you finding the EP, much different to PT? Workouts being different sounds good. Don’t want it to get boring 😂.
