Maybe a miracle will happen and I’ll find some motivation and actually pick up my camera

Sign me up, please :)

Sign me up please.

I will give it a try once again!

OK, sign me up. I am ready to get out and have some fun.

Sign me up, too, please.

Is here any chance we can get the theme a day early or even just the night before so we can maybe plan and possibly start filming on Saturday? We're under lockdown on Sundays and transportation to get around can be a challenge as Peru is still dealing with record COVID deaths. Thank you for considering this suggestion.

The theme is normally always released in the morning (European time - UTC+2) the day of theme release.

Your question is very understandable and I don't mind being a little flexible in these covid times.
I will therefore aim to release the theme close to midnight night to Saturday May 1. (European time).

Thanks, Trond. It's really not much about COVID -- though planning is a lot more necessary here now than before -- but it's about being able to perhaps get started on the weekend! I don't like to go out and shoot then try to put something together. I like to have a plan -- even if it's just a very general idea -- before filming.

It looks like I'm off to film in the jungle for 2-3 days tomorrow and maybe get some location ideas if I come up with anything that would be appropriate for the upcoming theme. Being in the rainforest is actually a LOT safer than being at home as I'm out by myself and don't have to worry about catching anything.

Thanks, again!

Hi all.

Tick, tock... clock is counting down to an early theme release.
