Oh wow. There's a lot to be said for Canberra in the spring. It's about sights and smells and feelings. New flowers absolutely coating branches, and the fluff will start falling soon. Watching two peewees and a magpie in a twirling, angry dance, unsure who's winning, or even who's chasing who. Sweat on my top lip after shivering for so long.

The world is new and shiny. May I never lose this.
