Oh no @Dimity my bad as I missed the post about your bloods and potassium 😜 sorry about that. Hope everything goes ok on Monday.
yeah the apps a bit different to Daylio can’t decide which one I like better lol. Sorry pressed send too soon rookie error just continuing the post lol
Hoops hey @Dimity, I hope the new physio is good! You’ll have to let me know, or give me a nudge if you need a push to chase them up. Need to tune your band 😉. I guess all health professionals are like shoes too, not all going to be the right fit as we know.
Oh no I haven’t seen that article but sounds like a good read I’ll have to take a Google!
Hows your garden? I admire people busy in the garden too much maintenance for me lol. Things would all die 🙊 nah I’d make sure to put irrigation in lol.
Not much for me. Nothing to exciting have a friends birthday dinner later in the week which will be nice and continue evening walks. Ind is a bit sore in her back legs so hope she comes okay otherwise going to have to look at more sups/meds for her. We will see. She found a frisbee the other day for me to throw her 😆 probably why she’s a bit sore 😬
Lovely to chat, found you another kookaburra tonight! Also wish I could share a video of the other day there was a massive kookaburra meeting and there was a big discussion happening lol
Pic attached ☺️

They're super cute @Chasingsunsets! I didn't know that kind of bird was called a dollar bird, so I've learnt something new tonight too :D

Hey there @Coral_Swimmer, lovely to meet you! Thanks so much again re pic approval! By the way I love your forum name! I love snorkelling and diving (just shallow 10m dives ☺️) I have a feeling you might too, it’s unreal under the water just a beautiful world down there! Do you have any favourite things you see?
I flagged a post of better pics of the dollar bird ☺️ these aren’t very good pics of them, if you don’t get the flag it’s on pg 24, sorry not sure how else to easily link it to you 😊. Hope you are having a good night 🐠😊

Woah the colours are so vibrant! Especially up against the blue sky, really pops!
I love those little cuttlefish that come and swim alongside you, they're little companions for a while
Have a wonderful night too @Chasingsunsets, and I hope your sleep is restful when you do hit the hay!

How awesome @Coral_Swimmer, I honestly love nature could talk for weeks about it 😆. I am mostly happy out in amongst it 🤩
yesss the dollar birds are so cool you can imagine my surprise when I realised they weren’t just black birds in the distance! How special! Colours, I could fall over soo good lol 👌👌
oh wow!! How cool re cuddle fish! I am actually not sure if I have seen many!! I love them such cool animals!! I have a tee print with a nautilus on it and it stumps a lot of people what it is 🤣. Love octopus’s a lot too they are cool how they camouflage gah I could talk all day about the ocean and under water!
Thanks re sleep 🙏. If you’re ever bored lol I’ll always be a tag away to talk about the ocean and animals or birds lol - heard of the Australian hobby? Fantastic birds and had no idea what one was when I saw it but didn’t look like a kite lol. Anyway there you go awesome bird. Pasific baza is also so awesome if you ever come across them 👌 Thanks again for connecting, it’s been awesome love chatting about all this stuff!

Lurv all the pics @Chasingsunsets so good to see them. The scuffle between the dollar bird and lorikeet is interesting esp as on the tip of a stag tree not at a nesting hole. I've seen the field nats and others post and comment on various parrot-allied birds (my words not theirs) hustling for hollows. Including a corella harassing rosella nestlings when the parents were off collecting food.
Wet day here. All the fallen native frangipani flowers are a soggy mess. The staffy opposite will probably give a woof when I rake them.
Have you talked to Indi's vet about arthritis meds? My cat had 2-monthly shots of a med developed for dogs, and it made a tremendous difference. It's a natural compound that promotes cartilage lubrication and healing, so reduces pain and restores movement. Tiger was on it for years.
I downloaded the mood tracker app. Looks like it's more specific than Daylio in rating mood but doesn't have the notes/journalling feature.
Ha yes the exercises. Better to do them imperfectly than not at all I guess. Hope you're persevering too. It's a long haul not overnight.
Great to connect.
