The past holidays and more

By valo | Valo | 11 Jan 2023

It's already 11 days since New Year's Eve and more than two and a half weeks since Christmas, but I wish to recap them. Better later than never.

Christmas Eve came and went. It was an amazing and, dare I say, an unforgettable one. The weather gave me a special present - a sunny day in December - that's rare in my country.

After a long walk outside, I prepared a traditional Christmas dinner to mark the day. As you probably guessed, preparations took a long time. The meat was ready for baking already the evening before, so I let it roast peacefully in the oven while enjoying the nice weather.

The nice aroma filled the kitchen as I came home, and I couldn't wait to set up the rest and enjoy the meal right next to the Christmas tree.

Below are some pictures that the AI in starryai created. The first examples are with the prompt "Christmas Eve".

The next prompt, "Christmas table", turned out quite interesting in this dreamy style. It's surreal and unnatural, but not in a bad way.

Christmas was nice and fun, spent with the most important people in my life. I was at work between 27 and 30 December, so it didn't really feel like holiday time. I ended up with a light knee injury, but thankfully, it was all good within a week. Well, as good as it can be after a bone gets dislocated. The days quickly passed anyway, and it was New Year's Eve. My daily errands led to just a bit over 4k steps, so it was a must to get them to 5k and post a report. My leg has been a bit sore, so I used that as an excuse to skip going out. Instead, I did some shoulder, neck and arm exercises to hit the mark. It was refreshing and felt good. I was hoping that the weather would be okayish, so I would be able to go watch the fireworks.

Thankfully, the rain stopped. I really dislike it. More like - hate it. As much as a cat hates water. I really wished for the temperatures to go down, so instead of water, there would be snow. It's much better.

I created a couple of pictures in starryai using the prompt "New Year's Eve". It did really well in my opinion.
