You can be so much more. So much more than the stormy days, grey and rainy as they were throughout the last few weeks. So much more than the coldness that sneaks up on you, won’t leave you for days on end and drives your heating bill into astronomical heights. Honestly, you’ve been quite a turd.
But Melbourne, you can be so beautiful, so exciting. I even dare to say, you can be adventurous. Your bright cloudless skies that sport a blue like no other. Your crisp air on a sunny winter day that is warm enough to be outside just with a sweater. Your outdoorsy culture that invites for a stroll along the beach, a sit down in a lane-way cafe or a bike ride through Albert Park. You’ve been so fabulous this weekend that I forgive you. I forgive you your grumpy misdemeanour over that last couple of weeks. We’re friends again and I’m so looking forward to spending my first spring with you. The last two days’ preview makes me look forward to spring, summer and autumn so much. Just give me a couple of days to get my bike fixed and then I’m ready.
The two of us will have so much fun together.
Your BFF,
Michael
