Glædelig mandag.

I didn't know the name for that long, beautifully polished wooden pole-ey boom-ey stickey-out bit on the front of the royal yacht. So I couldn't describe it properly in the Alt Text, and said so. Tak and danke and thank you to @pgogl for helping me out here. It is a called a 'sprit'. That name suits it, I think. A snappy spikey spirited sprit. That was a pleasing thing to learn.

Glædelig mandag. It’s one of those gentle Mondays, here in Denmark, because it’s a day off for most people. A public holiday. Pinse. Whitsun. Pentecost. Here’s a Pinse-postcard from #Aarhus, just to wish you a good Monday and a good week.

The "bovspryd" is the "bowsprit".
Both are from some sort of netherlandish precursor "spret", which was a spear/spyd. -
@otte_homan @pgogl That sounds like a fun game to play on a hot Summer day!

@CiaraNi Det kunne jo også være den slags sprit man skyller en klump jaka-bov ned med, men jo mindre sagt om det, jo bedre.
