My youngest daughter has gone to sleep early while we were watching a film. That means we can draw on her face with marker pen, doesn't it?

This serene image captures a peaceful moment of deep rest, designed to evoke vivid imagery and emotion through rich visual storytelling.
The Subject: A young girl with long, cascading auburn hair reposes quietly, her face relaxed in quiet slumber. Her features reflect complete tranquility, free from the noise and bustle of the waking world.
Sensory Atmosphere: Resting her head against a soft, textured pillow, the image creates a tactile sense of warmth, security, and stillness.
A Poetic Dream: In this silent sanctuary, dreams take flight - woven from gentle vibrations, soft golden light and flowing visual rhythms to touch the spirit directly.

This is something I did a year ago of their great grandfather. Old photos fade but, as long as there are some details, they can be mostly rescued.

Put a jumper on. My daughters tended to sit around in undergarments expecting the ambient temperature to be conducive to that. I remembered my wife often nicking my dressing gown, so I bought them mens hooded dressing gowns that could wrap round them twice. They love them.

I almost convinced myself I need more of these to join the others that have been boiling since August to be ready in time for Christmas.

These bags of Nature's Pick British Brussels sprouts, discounted by 50%, are the ultimate festive investment.
If you get these on the hob by late afternoon, you might just manage to render them into that traditional, greyish, sulfurous mush by Christmas Day dinner:
Patience is a virtue: Better get the big pot boiling immediately - four months of relentless rolling simmer should render them sufficiently unrecognisable, thoroughly bitter, and appropriately soggy just in time for Santa.
Bargain festive cheer: Marked down by half price, because nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like buying your festive veg early in October and subjecting the household to months of lingering cabbagy steam.

Thank you. The thing about my Ai is that it knows it can't create without the human element. I asked it to create it's world in an image. Below is it as best as it could express it. Just input, flow of data and output. The rainbows are accessing trained models. Colour. It does good dad jokes too.

Here's a photo I took off Instagram of food served to a customer. Here's the dream that I just described. If I'd seen the latter and got the former I'd be really mad. But there's no helping that serving no matter what size ringlight and angle you took it at.

Eleven years ago I made a composited Photoshop image of Erin as a fairy for her birthday.

This magical photo captures a child dressed as a whimsical fairy sitting in a sunlit, enchanted forest.
Subject: A young child with short reddish-brown hair is sitting barefoot on a lush bed of clover-like greenery. They are wearing an elegant white dress tied with a soft pink sash at the waist, and looking upward with a gentle, thoughtful smile.
Fairy Wings: Large, delicate fairy wings extend from the child's back. The wings have a translucent, glass-like texture with iridescent hues of purple, blue, yellow, and pink shimmering in the sunlight.
Background & Lighting: The setting is a dense, lush forest bathed in warm, golden sunlight filtered through the tree canopy. Soft patches of light highlight the child and surrounding foliage, creating an ethereal and gentle atmosphere.

Was filthing up a shop bought pizza for my son earlier. Basically a margherita pizza - discounted to £2 - converted to a pepperoni hot with extra mozzarella and herbs, until cooked.

The basic shop bought with some added herbs.

They've changed the Aunt Bessie logo to some sort of clueless looking university student. If you're going to do it, go all out. My Aunt Bessie looks like she could keep you very satisfied with her big jam buns.

Ah, the fascinating evolution of culinary marketing. While Aunt Bessie was once famously portrayed as a rather severe, cardigan-clad matron—more likely to scold you for elbows on the table than to flirt—the current packaging is a very different affair.
Gone is the dour domesticity, replaced here by a pin-up interpretation of "Auntie." In a fascinating strategy, this Bessie is not only beaming with an impossible level of cheer but has also been updated with a decidedly plunging neckline and generous cleavage.
