All I did was select the pic and type "Make this look like a sunny day and add deep blue skies and fluffy clouds".
The blue isn't great, but after 33 years using Photoshop, I can fix that the old way...

E45 might help with the scratching! But better to run our of disc space at home than when you (as in I) fail to empty the flash cards - or forget a hat!

Walked the rest of the way.

So after the taxi hit the Lime bike (or vice versa) this morning....
The bus home is due in a minute, until a car is let through a line of traffic to turn right and there's a big clunk as it collides with a motorcyclist (or vice versa).

โI wasnโt lookingโ
Says me, who heard a noise ahead and looked u to see the Lime biker rider falling to the ground.
โYou werenโt lookingโ
Says the Lime bike rider to the taxi driver whoโd just turned left.
As does the taxi driver to the Lime bike rider.
Me, Iโd happily blame both.
