♣, it's the only thing that will go away if we don't get it now. ♦ are not going to be discarded before partner gets in.

Freaky deal, and opps might well have a double fit. Black suits are out thus.

There's a case for leading ♥A and another, hoping pard will ruff, but I'll stick to a diamond to pard's expected ace, so that he can lead hearts through the hand that's more likely to have the king. ♦K is interesting, but might lead to confusion as to pard's signal, so I'll lead the low diam.

I seriously doubt that pard has a stiff heart. Club for me.

I'll lead the big ♥ and have a look around.

You bid 4D with that hand Helene? That's quite a bid.

I'm torn between a diamond and a club, I'm not leading a heart from AQ when RHO is marked with heart length. A club aims for a rather small target, and it is not unlikely that our diamond trick goes away on them... diamond for me.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Yes, I felt so old when playing with Matmat against you and Arend. Trying to renew my style.
