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? ☀️💛🙏

Hot off the press guys and you couldn’t plan this if you tried 😂😂!!

I saw a croc at the beach, only a small one but thought I have to share this as @Shaz51 created a croc day lol.
Haven’t seen one in a good year or two here but they are around.

Off to eat dinner and will get back to your msgs shortly 🐊☀️

@Chasingsunsets G'day from WA. The Goslings have not hatched yet. Not sure if they will, for the other female sat for a month on duds and we had to remove her for the eggs were rotten. (Did the male get upset with us for a few days😁)

We are not sure when they will hatch, next week we think, but it could be on The Weekend as well.

Otherwise i have been really well the last few days. i have resisted the depressive bouts, and let the feelings pass. Over the years this becoming easier, but it is still always hard to ignore the depression, especially when it gets really dark.

Yesterday my wife and me went for a beach walk, the first one ages. We really enjoyed it. And the best part was that afterwards i still had enough energy to do other things. Which truly is good sign.

i slept 7 hours over two sleeps last night!

@ENKELI my Retiisi, all or nothing - 💯% me too.

Cleaning, building, landscaping, often turns into a game of Tetris for me. - Sigh 😮‍💨


Anti-inflammatory or anything that makes my gut upset, sets off bad anxiety for me.

If I have sore guts it takes over everything. I think it’s related to when I had a 4.2cm gallstone. Which is related to when I had Hyperparathyroidism. That was a nightmare.

Today the Vet has sent me for a CT scan and X-ray for my hip on Thursday. He won’t give me to the physio until he sees the results. Such faffing about 😏

If they want me to have an operation on my hip, it better come with a Deep Plane Facelift.

Thank you Peps @PeppyPatti . Two of the most consistent descriptions I get are “Cool” and “Intelligent”.

I don’t see myself as either PaHaha 😆


What are the most common descriptions people give you?

Look at you doing no sugar or syrup in your coffee ☕️

@Glisten Tomaatii, is there a sauna close to you? Perhaps we need to construct one by the A frame. A plunge pool would be good too.

I have no plans this weekend aside from a possible trip to a nursery [edited by moderator] - Funnings don't have what I want and I need my fix. I shall go to the nursery in the morning and then head on up to the 'brook. I'll come bearing muffins and nana bread and some Yahava coffee. Heck I'll bring the coffee plunger if needed too.

Wonder how MM would go on a trip more than 15 minutes....might be time to find out heh heh heh.

@PeppyPatti this is my highlight of the day - I completed this -

Hey @Chasingsunsets, today's been a bit off for me. I became one with my lounge with alot of tears and heartache. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day, gently does it for me.

There's plenty of animals around where I am, I've seen foxes, koalas, kangaroos, ducks, bats and many more 🙂.

Hey everyone, always so lovely to hear from you all 🙏

Not sure if you guys saw the post before but while down the beach I saw a croc- eek. Bit too close for comfort but he was alright 😬🐊


Wow @Blackcloud you have been busy as! It’s good to hear you gave yourself a break it does sound like a lot! Nice that you are sussing your options it all seems really interesting! You also seem super organised!! Thanks so much for the update always keen to hear how you are going!

Hey @ArraDreaming! I don’t mind the instant stuff especially when camping! I like the flavoured stuff like vanilla, carmel or mocha normally. When I really need a coffee hit though I must confess I buy it lol- however it does get me up and out of the house which is a bonus too haha. How about yourself?
My old housemate used to drink heaps of the moccona brand and buy the big Jars- I still use the jars today they are great for tadpole sorting 😂. I love frogs- season is coming up so won’t be long for more tadpoles!! 🐸

What do you like to drink? That’s nice to hear your family met you for lunch, what did you guys have? 😀

Haha @AlwaysMyself, yes he was able to blend in very well! I got to see him jump to that spot so that gave him away for me but there are awesome jumpers!
That’s also so cool about your supervisor do you like that area you are working in as well! If so fingers crossed you can stay there!

@rav3n, lovely to hear from you my friend, I also had to use the motivation trick! I got another frappe- feel like I am going to turn into one at this point 😂🤭. How was the white chocmocha? It sounds so good and hope it hit the spot for ya. What else did you get up to?
Mine was okay, I planned to be have got more things done but it didn’t eventuate 🙈. I have tomorrow off too so hope I’ll be able to cook something, I am thinking an all in one dish like chicken, rice and veg in a dish and in the oven, something simple and tasty is my aim 😋. Got to try catchup on some more life admin and cleaning too. I might need something super strong to get me going tomorrow lol.

Yeah @AuntGlow, can’t forget the hot pilates lol - you taught me something when you first told me what you were up to. Haha. I think it’s awesome! Yeah you are right up north! ☺️

Yes the beach was good and spotted a croc, half my brain says real highlight, the other side says wish I didn’t see it lol - too close for comfort but it’s a reminder of we are in nature and I love that. Anything new or different is a real boost for me! Got to see the black shouldered kite again too. It’s seemed to have chosen the area I sometimes walk as it’s chill zone for the evening which is really cool.

It’s so lovely to hear @Appleblossom the positive experiences you have had on the forum, I have also found it incredibly helpful 💛

Nice one @Eve7, so funny you wrote that as while on the way to the shops after my walk the fuel light came on 🤭. That is a real win re fuel price, good one!!

Did you see any kangaroos while away hehe? Did you go for a holiday? Hope it was a good time!

lol don’t smile at a crocodile 🐊, insert Peter Pan song here lol. Sorry not sure how to attach links yet!
