It is mid-winter (checks calendar), and the finely manicured grass on the oval glistens with a layer of frost in the early morning rays of sunshine. Magpies calls to each other from atop the stand, and spectators line the boundary and the steps of the outer in anticipation. And also there is a muddy gluepot in the centre, pools of standing water in each forward pocket and always the cold cold feet no matter how many pairs of socks you wear. Hopeful of a nice shiny coffee cart doling out portions of liquid warmth that I can purchase for a reasonable price. May your midwinter blues be calmed by coffee (or other beverages) and good people.
