And I’ve spent the last week or so thinking “brilliant! I seem to have missed winter this year, Adelaide doesn’t get cold at all.” Of course, Bathurst makes me aware of this :P 6 degrees when you go to work?? O NOES! What ever will you do?

Try two weeks of the highest temp being 6…and around -2 when I went to breakfast and dinner…

But seriously, great post Sarah. It gets my vote for best piece of writing on the blog for sure.

Why is it the change of weather brings back so many memories? .. all it takes is one warm day and last summer comes flooding back into your thoughts and feelings.. and you miss it.

I love your take on Spring. I get the same feelings coming into Spring but the same ones going into Winter as well. I’ve always been a guy who could rug up, sit and play mind games – So I guess all them nights me and the boys had at LAN’s have always perked me up for the Winter months.
Spring does have a different feel to it though. A more in your face nostalgia that makes me feel excited and energetic. Maybe I’ll finally get to them weeds out the back!

Here’s to a nice sunny spring and summer! <- Here Here!

Totally agreed. They call it Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, gettit?) and I suppose it’s more common in places where the weather swings from extreme to extreme. In Melbourne, winters get very depressing. I’ve seen people on the first warm day in months jump out of their cars at a red light and dance, and the general mood at the beginning of spring is a remarkable shift.
