Hello @Shaz51 @Naturelover @ChasingSunsets @TAB @MissGremlin and everyone. Sorry I can't remember a lot of usernames and I'm not sure notifications are working.
Sending greetings and commiserations. My account has had some bugs - still does - but I'd like to share group 🫂 hugs

@appleblossom hello hope you're ok
@dimity @chasingsunsets hello
cant say too much that i feel comfortable with the changes. i would prefer either no peer workers or regular peer workers to what is currently occuring.
Feels like it creates an us and them rather than a community. more fear-based than close.
Glad to be alive today, although my mind is a mess

Watching a cute show "Nobody Wants This" on netflix about an interfaith couple

Hi @EternalFlower hoping you're going ok. Cold & wet here most of the day.
I find clicking on the @ above the text box for replies matches usernames quicker than if I type it on my screen's keyboard.

Hi @Chasingsunsets the butcherbird is still around. I've noticed he'll fly up to a high aerial next door, sit there and call out "here I am" then swoop down. He warbles in a tree.
Hope you and Indi are going well.

Evening @Dimity how was your day? Good spotting of the butcher bird! Can you tell males and females apart?
I did think of you today and was actually a bit of a highlight- today I was walking Indi and I had cockatoos that followed us for more than 200 meters, it was so funny haven’t had that before 🤣 they seemed generally curious and had their crests up which I love! I wondered if they were nesting somewhere not sure if it’s the season for them or why they were so interested in us lol. They would fly tree to tree following 😅. I haven’t sorted pics of them but guess what else I saw which was why you first came to mind- I found a ____. Let me know if you want to guess it when you see the pic or happy to tell you also ☺️
pic attached 😎

I probably won't be able to see the pic til tomoz so I'll look forward to the surprise @Chasingsunsets . I wonder if I'll know it (I'm not actually very good at ids).
I saw a white cocky today too, being hassled by noisy miners.
No I don't know the difference between m & f butcherbirds but figured a short sequence of about 3 calls from a height might be a male territorial thing.
Glad to see you. Off to bed now. Have a lovely day whatever shift you're doing.

Glad to see you too @Dimity, yeah I think you are right re pic approval, ah something to look forward to perhaps tomorrow ☺️. Think you’ll guess this one, you found them funny to read about 🤭… No finches were in sight 🤪. Lost my post on highlights so I did repost but with no tags. Pics of a sunset might be up tomorrow if you are interested 😎. Ha I was on an early morning shift, still awake 🙂. How’s your exercises going, I decided to try an exercise to align my hips was easy just let’s 90° resting on something 😅 love easy ones that’s aren’t any real work lol
