spring is in the air...

i still owe you folks a blog about what happened on saturday. not that i really owe you ;) but i feel like sharing that fantastic day with people. i've done it with perfect strangers, so i simply cannot withhold it from you. however, right now i do not feel like it. instead, i will tell you about today (sunday, never mind how blogger dates the post. i'm up late again).

i slept for the better part of the day, as i didn't get a good night's sleep. weird dreams (i don't remember what, though), church bells and the whining of kara have accompanied me in the night. however, in the early evening i felt the need to go out. i met up with a friend of mine and we walked for a while, then we went to the mall (well, it's the closest place to me) to have a drink. i've spotted my ex as we got there, and we hailed him along. as was hungry, went to the last floor. she had a coke, he had a beer, i had a schnitzel and a coke and i insisted on paying for all. just felt like it. however, i chose the furthermost corner table to sit at, and we had an excellent panorama of the city lights.

i took part in the dragged on conversation with nearly nothing, instead i just stared at the raindrops that had started falling, drawing weird patterns on the window. it looked so cool, as more and more water slashes added to the dark blue and violet background of the night sky, drops sparkling with millions of tiny reflected lights. it was a very peaceful sight. an almost perfect moment to capture and to hold.

the second moment came after we've said our goodbyes. i was walking home in the dark; the rain had stopped and there was a freshness in the air, like the world had just cleaned its nose and could breathe freely again. and as i was inhaling the fresh, rain-cleaned night air, it hit me. the fragrance of blooming acacia. sweet, discreet, and underlined by the tinge of rain-smell left in the air. yep, spring is definitely in the air.
