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? ☀️💛🙏

Afternoon @heartathome hows your day going? Interested to hear about the forum you went to, was that today?

Love the drawing this morning, and good yo see my pics came through now just square grey boxes cos that’s no fun 😜.

Oh really re editing, better stay I can’t not have that option 😂 however most people o talk to manage to get what I am saying without me having to edit if I mix the words up 😂. Mixed the months up for shams birthday post only realised weeks later 🤪😆🙈. Ah that’s good you want to promote it, I feel it’s still quiet lately and feel a bit separated still with the tagging etc and not everyone still not been able to make it back on the forum yet. But it’s better than it was after the outage so I guess that’s something ☺️. Oh rain today hey! Hope you have kept dry! Can’t believe you saw so many pelicans the other day! So so cool!! Thanks for dropping by, you always manage to bring a smile to my face wherever I see you around, always grateful for your presence 🤗☺️

Hey @SaltwaterSoul so lovely to see you around, how are you going?

Yesss you are so right about the sunset! It was an extra treat with the tide being so low got to see some cool things in the rock pools! I love having a look at low tide!

Heres a blue swimmer crab- very very good bait for some nice fish but I won’t catch them any more. They are beautiful to look at and can be fast going off to hide when they see you. Another crab was so cool, don’t know why type they are but saw quite a few of them and them camouflage so well !!

(hopefully the pics will appear for you ) I’ll send another post with the other crab I’ve lost the text box and now my text line in on top of the cursor🤪) Will try tag a couple more in the next post too

Hey @Chasingsunsets It's so good that I got your tag. It's the first post I've seen (apart from moderators) since you tagged me last night! I have a meeting with a mental health referral organisation next week. Yesterday I was quite optimistic about promoting SANE. Today is a different story! I have reported multiple times today of not seeing ANY posts from anyone and not receiving any tags for 15 hours! I was furious. I rang and emailed them about it. I told them that I can't promote SANE as it is! If a newcomer had the same problem as me, it could be devastating for them, especially as the organisation deals with hospitals and people who have attempted suicide and have SI! I'm so disappointed that I can't promote them yet but, in all honesty, I would only worry if I did. I'm talking with my partner on the phone atm and am afraid I may lose this so will end here and talk again soon. Much love 💜

I just realised that I'm on your highlight thread @Chasingsunsets and I don't like posting negative stuff on here! So, my highlight for today was meeting a friend and getting my Opp shop clothes for half price, behind the boss's back. 😁 I also had a cuppa with my neighbour this afternoon, which was nice. I've spoken to both my son (he rings me every day) and my old partner and... NSW won the footy the other night. I'm not into football but when it comes between the states, I can't help bragging. 😂 Oh, and I also had a shower and washed my hair, which is something that I often struggle with. Apart from the issues with SANE, I've had a pretty good day! 🙂 This is why I love your thread. It makes me think about anything good in my day! Love you, my friend. 💚

Hi @Chasingsunsets i like the blue swimmer crab. Still waiting on the other photo. Sorry to tell you but I'm not getting notifications when you and @DownMoreThanUp tag me in lists.

Thanks for letting me know @Dimity about the tags it’s a real challenge at the moment isn’t it. Thanks for coming by though, glad you were able to see the first crab, wonder if the 2nd pic has come through yet. Just before my walk guess what I saw. A fig bird haha thought of you. It’s not the best pic and I know you seen what they look like but took it for you today anyway 😊

Hows your day going? I also saw a different type crab today a couple of them and the sunset tonight was also beautiful. In two minds of sharing them since pics are taking awhile don’t want to break the system lol

Anyway here’s the fig bird 😊. I’ll tag you a couplec more times for good luck lol see if one of them makes it through lol @Dimity @Dimity @Dimity ☺️

Hellooooo there lovely @heartathome hows your evening? Hope you get this tag and maybe like with dimity I’ll tag you a couple of extra and see if that helps 😂🙊 @heartathome @heartathome @heartathome lol here’s hoping 🤞

glad you go my last tag! I hear the Ebs and flow with the new system, it’s been a lot I know. Hard getting my head around it aswell. It’s been interesting. Glad you have let them know about the tagging and the errors I wonder what they had to say about it? Yeah interesting you mention new comers but also they have nothing to compare to so in someone is ‘ignorance bliss’ re the old to the new and waiting for the patch ups. I worry we may loose some new ones if they don’t feel well connected but if you see any/ meet any always happy for your to tag them here or tag me where you meet em to make sure we get them on board too ☺️. I can hear how the challenges has made it hard to promote that I really understand that a lot. Heart says one thing and brain saying another type thing- that is a real challenge right. What else will be at your forum I am interested to hear and also the last one you went to! Just as the outage happened. How’s your partner going?

ohh and I don’t mind where we post or chat will follows your tags/ discussions whereever you land and would like them to be no pressure here 🤗☀️.

I love your highlights today!! I have definitely run low on mine but I have a couple 😎.

*went to the laundry mat where they have big washing machines and dryers so got all my sheets/ doona and the rest of my washing done! They also have a pet machine too which is always really clean so I washed all Indi’s stuff too 😊- lying in nice crisp sheets tonight!

how was house sitting?

had a beautiful walk tonight and saw a different type of crab!! So seen many different species of crabs over the last two days. At least 6 different types- this was unexpected 😊. The sunset was also amazing. Indi also had her light collar on and when that’s on it always means fun! So was glad to get a pic of her in it. I was in two minds whether I should share more pics due to the pics not appearing and tags not working but since I am talking about it I’ll give it a go and post after I send this long mag so I don’t loose it lol. I hope you have had a good night tonight. What’s on for your weekend 😊

Yay thanks @Chasingsunsets I got the notification this time. Hope your pics eventually come through. I'll look forward to your figbird.

I forget which thread we were chatting about swift parrots in. I've probably just seen the musk lorikeets, the swifts are quite rare. Both are hard to spot in foliage.

My glimmer today was my pink snapdragon flower. A bit out of season. And my Erlicheer jonquils
