FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

This week nothing special happened, the weather was bad, it rained and we were locked inside. Fortunately we had our activities each day and that was nice especially when it rains outside.

My lovely neighbor arrived home on Sunday evening looking rather unsteady; she had been playing bridge with old friends and had drunk too much. It's a miracle she always makes it home without an accident. She does it on each Sunday and Monday she is sick. Rachel who cleans our rooms, always shows me the consumption of Geney's bottles ! This time it was 3 bottles of red wine and 2 bottles of Champagne ! No wonder that her daughters told her that she spends too much ! Probably she has to take a smaller room. 

Meanwhile, I've found a new hobby: working with AI! I tinkered around until I figured out how to do it, and then, of course, I was very proud of the result. Here are a few examples.


My paternal grandma and my mother. What is strange that the colors are mostly exact, 

here we are a young couple, not yet married


and five years later came little Dario


Here was my first school day. In Germany the kids get such a cone filled with sweets or little gifts this special day.

This is Piccola, my very first cat when I was 21. The background and grass I (or rather AI) added.

All black and white pictures were quite damaged as they were very old. But AI corrected everything and colored it ! As a beginner I was really satisfied with the result.

But then I discovered another thing. You can "paint" a picture only with words. So I typed blue sea, and a sunset. The result was this :


 and here I typed, green grass with daisies and a sleeping black cat ! this was the result ! Amazing !!


I still have a lot to learn (probably)  but with my first results I am already happy !  It's unbelievable that you can make a photo and probably also videos only with a description of what you want. Of course now I am very busy and while some find life boring for the moment it's rather exiting for me, and a wonderful replacement of my paintings as I can't paint anymore !
