Good to see this issue highlighted. This reminded me of a motivating news story here (Denmark) about Hals, a town of 2,500 residents, many elderly. They've pooled their emergency preparations. As a community, they've collectively made sure everyone has enough to last 7 days; there's designated shelter spaces; the local shop has pre-planned emergency stock boxes etc. Great way to take care of everyone, including those for whom money, mobility or space is tight.

One year ago, the council invited us to tell them 'what's crap and what's great' about cycling in the city. It was a user-friendly survey with intuitive maps where you could pinpoint, say, a good bike park or a too-narrow cycleway. I think they listened, because they're installing great new stuff now. Two-way bike lanes to save time crossing a main road. Cargo bike parking. Wider bike lanes with room for modern bikes and safe overtaking. Park & Ride bike shelters at bus stops.

Vitamin D-Day. The day when you put on gloves for the first time since before the Summer. It struck me yesterday that it was October 18th and there we were, still wandering around without hats or gloves on. It's been so mild - warm, even - that I haven’t even thought to root out my gloves from Summer storage. Usually I’d be begloved in September. Then today dawned with the first sight of overnight frost.

The Smiling Sun was designed on the back of an envelope by 21-year-old activist Anne Lund in Aarhus. It's commemorated to this day in a landmark mural in the city centre.

Funny you mention wearing the logo on a rain-jacket. That usage was in her thinking. She's quoted in this article:

“It needed to be pretty enough for women to wear it on their overcoats to indicate a kind, but firm ‘no thanks’. No clenched fists, no scary images."

For a 280-metre-long artwork in a public, non-gallery space, it's oddly subtle. You walk along, admiring the paintwork and colours and effect and bigness of it as you pass. Then a sudden change of perspective when you notice an embossed flower or a deliberate paint-drip almost hidden at the bottom of a vast section.

Artist Ruth Campau painted one of the largest ever artworks in Denmark. A 280-metre-long work of art that changes as you walk along. I feel I have done it a disservice, reducing it to one close-up of about one metre of one section. Here are a few more shots.

The stairs in the foyer of Rådhuset is my favourite stairs. (This is the Fediverse, so I assume everyone has a favourite stairs.) Aside from the design, I like the way it frames Aarhus City Hall’s foundation stone.

I thought I knew it well, but only learnt this week that there’s a time capsule buried beneath it. A lead pipe with documents, coins and newspapers of the day. Laid in 1938. Little knowing that Nazis would be occupying the city before construction was finished.

I took a shortcut through a graveyard this afternoon. Two beautiful birds I’ve never seen in the open before started darting just over my head. Eurasian jays, the acorn-burying birds credited with spreading oak trees after the ice age. Whenever I stopped to look straight up at them, they flitted quicker than swifts into the nearest tree and hid. When I walked on, they darted out and circled me again.

We don't talk enough about Big Curtain. Nobody has ever moved from one home to another and been able to just hang up the same curtains. Nobody they know can use the curtains they now can't use because the curtains don't fit anyone else's windows either. No curtain has ever fit any other window. Not once, not ever, never in the history of the human world.

In 2025, 500 people reported ’romance scam’ crimes to the Danish police. Total stolen: 20 million kr. (€2.7m)

The true number of crimes is assumed to be much, much higher because many feel too ashamed to report it.

"By the Law of Jutland of 1241, you may fill your hat with whatever you can pluck."

One of my favourite times of year. It's like Foraging Christmas, when the council sticks the prettiest wooden signs in bushes and trees around the city. The signs literally point at edible plants and wild fruit and invite us to fill our hats and pockets.

They’ve made it even easier this year, adding helpful ’We are ripe!' signs at the right times.

"A West of Ireland data center objected to by novelist Sally Rooney had its planning permission overturned on the grounds that it breaches Irish national climate policy.

Rooney lodged an objection in January, writing to Mayo County Council that permission for the centre would increase carbon emissions, cause risk of blackouts, and that “climate change represents an immediate & unprecedented threat to our way of life in Mayo and the future of human life round the world.”

'Hope in a hopeless time'

'Lift & listen'

The Pssst Postbox. You post a note about something hopeful for the world. Once a week, a local theatre group collects the post and records the messages. When you lift the letterbox flap, you hear the different messages of hope being read by children & adults. Nice project. I heard someone wishing for more social projects; someone feeling hopeful because more people are adopting better climate habits; and someone encouraging everyone to dance.

The privilege of living in a liveable, bikeable city. I popped the broken hoover telescope into my bike basket and pedalled to the repair café and they let me use the Grown-up Workbench in the back, well, under careful supervision, let’s be honest, they did the drilling through metal bit, but we patched it up and the hoover continues to work as it enters its third decade.

I admire Miele for designing heavy-use products that last 20 years and more. And for which you can always still get spare parts. The only time it wobbled in two decades was a few years ago when a join in the telescopey bit broke. Without warning, it would retract into itself, suddenly becoming cartoonishly shorter as you were mid-hoover.

My hoover is about 20 years old. For 20 years, I’ve wondered who are these people who hoover their trousers. Today I realised that those are curtains.

Beautiful, both the lily and the way you captured it.

Giant octopus tentacles have been waving from various landmarks around the city during Aarhus Festuge (festival week), trying to attract our attention to the damage that humans have done to the oceans and to marine life.

“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.”

My apologies for lying to the Fediverse. Here comes one more toot. I was just packing away my photos from the Viking church and spotted the door frame. I don't want it to feel overlooked and under-appreciated.

There's a sacred feeling inside this reconstructed Viking church, not in any religious sense, but because it's impossible not to 'see' the ghosts of the people who used to worship here, sitting there in the small, gloomy space. A congregation of forgotten names and stories.

This was gripping. Moving. Entertaining. Good insights into masculinity, both the toxic and normal kind. And into precarity, rootlessness and the Troubles. And into the relationship between generations who've lived through different events in the same place in a short space of time. And the dialogue is pure joy. Trainspottingly good. You think you know all the regional swear words in Ireland, then you read this and find your vocabulary enriched and improved.
