 I moved to raise the blind.

"You'll like what you see." said Ailz, who had already looked out the window in the spare bedroom.

And I did. The moon, just a shavng past the full, was hovering over the hills. In the light of the rising sun its colour was a very pale apricot.

"Did you arrange that just for me?" I said.....

An Explanation

 A few weeks back Nightcafe- the site I go to to make AI images- said it couldn't afford to go on being so nice to its free users so it was going to cancel all the credits we'd amassed. 

(To be fair to NC they have always been very generous with credits- awarding them for all sorts of reasons- and at the time of their mean decision I had something like 2,500 in the bank. To be fair to myself I'd plead that I'm a hobbyist not a professional and I'm not making any money from my work)

Whoops, I thought, I'd better use up all these credits fast.

So I went on an AI binge, making pictures much faster than I chose to post them here- with the result that there's a backlog.

Which I now mean to clear

And that's why the next few posts will be Picture Diaries....

Eventually Nightcafe realised it was making itself very unpopular and decided we could keep our credits after all- and they'd discriminate against us in other ways, like making us wait longer to have our prompts processed, which I'm not going to shout about because it's fair that people who pay for the service should enjoy some privileges. 

Anyway, bear with me while I get myself up to date.....

 I dreamed there was a crow lying on the lawn. Maybe it was sick or dying. Anyway I picked it up and carried it around on my shoulder. And maybe it wasn't a crow but a raven or something even bigger. It was friendly and let me stroke its horny beak. Then it wasn't there any longer. At the same time exotic birds we'd never seen before were coming to the bird feeder- parrots, parakeets, multi-coloured finches.....

Yeah, I get it. Out with the old and in with the new. Let the old go with a blessing....

 When you don't sleep too well you don't sit up or set alarms or squander any time you might spend asleep so I didn't catch the blood moon.  The one time I got up, for other reasons, I looked out the window and the full moon was still shining at the top of the sky like a silver sixpence.

Unblemished.

Elvis's "Can't Help Falling In Love" has been used in several movies...




I went to see the new documentary about Elvis, "Epic: Elvis Presley in Concert" Saturday night.
It was really good. It gave some history, but concentrated on his time in Vegas. A lot of rehearsal and show footage.
It was fun to hear him singing other people's songs too, like The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel.

 I don't know what to make of Elon Musk- except to say I don't trust anyone with that much money.

And not wanting to get moralistic, which of course is exactly what I'm doing, he does figure in the Epstein files. 

One sees a lot of Teslas on British roads. A few months back Ailz and I started calling them Noddy cars. It's a private joke but it would be fun if it caught on. I don't think we do it because we're jealous of Tesla owners. Would we think of getting one ourselves? No. A Tesla is not just a car It's a statement- and we don't like what it's saying. 

Anyway why would we when we already have this?

Which, besides, was a whole lot cheaper

 March begins wet and windy, but it's no longer winter, right?

There's a pigeon somewhere out there in the gardens singing, "If you think I'm sexy..." 

 Israel and the USA were reportedly gunning for Ayatollah Khamenei- him in person, nobody else-  and the news this morning is they've got him....

Last night around midnight the forecast was calling for 3 1/2 inches of the white stuff.

Then by morning it was down to just over 2 inches.

When I woke up this afternoon, we had close to 6 inches of the bloody stuff. :o :o :o

In a couple of days, the forecast is calling for rain. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
