      1. Yes. Disappointing I know, that I’m so lazy to get AI to do it. AI is doing me out of a job. I might draw a version… but I quite like the AI image… 😳

    1. Thanks so much, Nigel. 😊❤️

      I’ve done a quickie sketch from the AI pic—and given the AI version the boot. It was fun giving AI the instructions. 😁
