Tell Tale Signs

i know spring is near when...

leaflets start sprouting from bare branches


when the tree that was still bald a few days ago is now thick with foliage

when the daffodils adorned rivercourt, and the angmohs sit under the two-0'clock afternoon sun outside cafe uno reading papers through their sunglasses

when the tourists start streaming to the river to go punting again, and when camb is generally lively with students lazing on the grass wating for term to end

and

when the sun rises at 6 in the morning, which means i have been waking up before 5 regardless of what time i sleep the night before ( i think my pineal gland is hypersensitive to blue light...)

when i still have the spring in my step despite the lack of sleep

when i am just filled with this inexplicable sense of well-being


when i realised that lent term is over.
