Amen to that @ylich! Thanks again for participating and feel free to join this round as well!

Hi @nakedverse! Glad we got to know you a bit better through @jonmagnusson's post :-)
In the rules / How to enter, I suppose you mean June 4th instead of May 4th.
You're absolutely right :-) Changed that now, thanks!
