It started when I opened my curtains and saw the sun flooding everything around me. A wonderful shower, some toast and a quick facebookcheck before setting off through a perfect day of early Spring, along fresh green fields with playing youngsters, people walking their dogs and endless singing birds. A perfect timing, printing in the library and arriving on the dot at Tom and Liz's. Having some banter about the places in the car. Cheesy pop songs, blaring through the speakers and us joining in. Bickering over navigation but laughing about it. MacDonalds on impulse, a lightsaber in a Happy Meal. More singing, more sun and landscapes. Getting lost but having fun with it. Karting, feeling the exhiliaration in my heartbeat and the wind in my hair. Not finishing last. Driving back in the car, seeing the sun behind the clouds, a brilliant silver lining, music in the background, friends' laughter and feeling truly happy and in exactly the right place. Going to ASDA, finding my favourite Belgian beer at a very decent price and getting flirted with by a cute ginger Irish male cashier. Eating some salami-sausage and a Scottish egg. Watching telly and just talking while waiting for the food to get ready. Drinking my beer. Eating gorgeous food, playing Trivial Pursuit and Wii, more laughter. Watching Take Me Out and feeling good about myself. Actually feeling like doing exercise when playing more Wii. Saying goodbye to my friends, cycling home in the chill Winter evening. Coming home and realising that this was a perfect day.
So it's spring yet over there. Lucky you.
