Colors from an Autumn photo
Canva lets you create a video from a photo. But apparently, there is a monthly limit on this AI-generated tool. A shame because it’s fun to use. I hope the GIF works for you.
I tested the tool with a photo I took of colorful Autumn leaves some years ago. The image suits this season, where you can see nature’s colors.
Here’s the original photo.
Not having a jolly good time
“And we will have
A jolly good time” – Lazy Days by Robbie Williams
Well, I’m not having a jolly good time.
The end of the year is getting closer. I haven’t achieved anything that I had planned. I’m still in the same place as I was before. For example, I still have to watch my money. I thought I would have financial security by now, but no money is coming in.
I’ve had so many other things to think about besides blogging, so I didn’t realize I hadn’t blogged for two months. Blogging isn’t what it used to be. I wonder if people still care about blogs. Not mine anyway. I’ve been away so long; people might have forgotten about this blog. Even I am a little bored with blogging. There is so much else to do than think about blogging. It’s usually life in general that does that.
Even if I haven’t posted, I still had traffic, but now I don’t. This blog has reached over 100,000 views in the 13 years I’ve had the blog. This year, traffic has been higher than ever. Look at the image below.
The only time I’m having a jolly good time is when I write fan fiction and go to ice hockey games. (I have a season ticket to my local team, HC TPS) And of course, when I take photos and videos. But I don’t get paid to do that. I wish I did, but no one buys.
I should be grateful I still have my health and that I live in a country without war. You should enjoy the small things and do something every day. I have taken up reading books. I never thought I would. I’ve read books before, but never anything longer than 100 pages. Right now I’m reading “The murder of Roger Ackroyd” by Agatha Christie. So I am actually having a jolly good time. And as long as the weather is nice, it’s good to read outside.
My fruitful truth about eating fruits
My fruitful truth about eating fruit. I don’t remember when I last ate a fruit. It’s been a while because I don’t have money for it. When you don’t have enough money, you have to save it for more important things. Like paying bills and food. Buying fruit is the last thing you buy.
I like eating fruit, but it also depends on the conditions they are in. I’m especially picky about bananas. I don’t like them overripe, but they shouldn’t be too raw either. Something in between. If I see brown spots on the skin, I don’t buy them. When I buy bananas, I eat them as fast as possible.
I like almost all fruit I’ve tasted, but I don’t like kiwis. I don’t think I’m allergic to them, but when I eat them, the side of my tongue hurts. I’m not so crazy about oranges or grapefruit. I prefer clementines because they’re easier to peel and they can be sweet. I don’t like anything sour. Not even in candy.
My favorite fruits (like you see in the photo) are apples, pears, and grapes. Tomatoes are fruit, too, in case you didn’t know. I only eat raw tomatoes. Ketchup and tomato sauces are good. But I don’t like tomatoes in hamburgers, or if they are sliced on pizzas or pies, I say, no thank you.
If there is a fruit I haven’t eaten, I try it at least once. I buy fruit I can afford, so it usually ends up being the common ones. I mostly eat fresh fruit, but when it comes to pineapples, I prefer them canned. Except when pineapples are served in a buffet. Cutting a pineapple is not something I feel like doing.
Fruits that are easy to peel or don’t need peeling are my thing.
