Love it! I asked AI to make it a happier scene, & it refused. 😜

Does that mean I'm less ethical than AI?

I see lots of staff & patrons have joined in this year's Secret Santa & have been leaving their gifts under the tree in the Cream Drawing Room, as requested.

Thanks to @JanesLittleGirl , Ghostly Wombat, @fanOfBen & @Anactor !

The great unwrapping will be - when did we decide?

Thanks to the miniature pig collective, @ifIwerenotanandroid - oh, that's me - @ShinyBlueTractor & Spartipus!

That's hilarious.
Though he missed out the over-priced and underwhelming doughnuts.

Thanks to @SionnachRuadh , Rosie, the capybara team & @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius !

Thanks to @AsWithGlad , @ErrolTheDragon , Colin & Bessie who's taken time out of helping the NHS with the 'flu crisis to leave her gift.

Thanks to Maud, the rest of the gerbils, @EdithStourton & medieval @MarieDeGournay !

Omg thank you for the bauble, I love it!! And my rooftop santa hat and pressie are gorgeous😍
Tractors do always appreciate being invited round for Xmas fun, although they can be a bit of a hazard round the fancy glassware amd crockery, not gonna lie. It's a chunky wheel issue..

Thanks to Cake (can't find you in the list of names), @StarryCat , @DeanElderberry & @MyrtleLion !

Very good! You’ve done well to get Colin to pose with an unopened present.

Thanks to @Boiledbeetle , @Swashbuckled , @Hedgehogsrightsarehumanrights & @Magpiecomplex !

Very flattering, thank you @ifIwerenotanandroid

Regards,
AsWithGladys

Thanks to cool @MarieDeGournay , @FuzzyPuffling , @knittedChristmassysloth & @Chersfrozenface who was on her way out to a party - hope you had a lovely time, Cher!

Any of our other regulars who want to join in, let me know.

Have we agreed when the unwrapping is yet? Can't wait to see what somebody bought/made me!

Android, the baubles are wonderful!
They cheered me up on what has not been a great day, I thought the first lot were brilliant, and then they just kept coming
You are a genius! x

I'm there twice, I'm v flattered😄

I thought I'd better capture both sides of you, Marie; & it would be just like you to put two prezzies in, instead of one. Hope your day improves. 💙

It's very good. The only thing is I thought your dog was a little bit small so I got AI to make some additions but it went a bit barking mad

Thanks also to @FarriersGirl , Maud at K&P's house, K&P herself in a lovely crocheted dress & @Britinme!

The AI, having declined to change the Francis Bacon painting, applied my changes to the Maud image instead. 😂

I couldn't possibly comment.

Ooh, I look positively magical! Line up the cocktails, please!

I love my bauble - thank you, @ifIwerenotanandroid!

Thank you so much @ifIwerenotanandroid !

A mojito please bar gerbil. I haven't written a single Christmas card and have huge amounts of work to do before Christmas. I can get some work done tonight or write Christmas cards. I can't be bothered to do either but will probably write cards. If son goes to sleep quickly so I actually have free time. I need to be productive with work tomorrow and I'm not convinced I will be. I am so incredibly ready for some time off. I want to sit and watch Christmas films during the day like my son is at school.
