As usual, “zippy” was not the easiest of themes. Still, the little red hoptimist – a farewell gift from some of my former colleagues at UC Lillebælt – will have to embody “zippyness” with a bemused polar bear cheking out the newcomer.

Despite all the personal doom and gloom which hit me this week, life has its upsides. At this time of the year, the theme “yummy” could only mean fresh strawberries and cream. Duly posted.

X is a hard letter to do anything with. The challenge was “xylographic”. I went for civil disobedience and posted this carved (graphic) wooden (xylo-) snake.

You may have to strech you imagination a bit to see how this photo fits with the theme “whimsical”. It is a networked playground in Kongensgade here in Odense where children – at least in theory – are able to interact with children at similar playgrounds in Vejle and Esbjerg. Obviously, at 9 am on a Saturday nothing much was going on.

The theme was “vital”. The photo shows Købmagergade, the second pedestrian shopping street, on a hot Saturday afternoon.
