It was a beautiful morning in the last days before the words Level and Lockdown came crowding into our lives. I was coming out of the Sir Owen G. Glenn National Aquatic Centre and checking my messages.
I was feeling good because you always do after a swim, and because I was about to begin some new work for Stuff doing features about Auckland, and the day was the kind of warm and blue that says plenty more to come.
Your sense of great happiness is an invitation for life to come in and rough up the joint.
