![The Bulletin: A vinyl Saturday's heavy rotations & where cherry blossoms bloom [Issue #74]](https://storage.ghost.io/c/00/e5/00e5bf23-2b72-4a48-92bb-496245b79d2a/content/images/2024/04/46935-Credit-FR---Laura-G-rard-@thediamondsoflife-EN-Credit---Laura-G-rard-@thediamondsoflife.jpg)
With each passing week comes another moment of renewal, a slow creep of refreshment. Cherry blossoms and magnolias are in bloom, we've got bluer skies, and things are ever so slightly starting to pick up everywhere you look.
It's a beautiful time right now. We're all making plans for terrasses and parks, arguing in group chats over who's going to be crossing town because "I've got the perfect spot", checking out all the places that've opened in the last four months and change, and generally taking time for one another. We've no longer the old excuse of weather to keep us in, and got every other excuse to get out and soak in some sun.
