The smiles were back on the faces of Bluebirds fans as I walked out of Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
It wasn't so much that the derby jinx had finally been banished, or that Cardiff City have suddenly soared up the table.
Despite a third win in four matches, the Bluebirds still languish in 21st place - just one position above the drop zone and with much work still to do in order to definitively erase the prospect of a disastrous dip into League One.
