Clicking ‘apply’ on your out of office, knowing that YOU’RE ACTUALLY LEAVING THE COUNTRY and not taking annual leave just to sit in the same room that you’ve worked in for the last ten months and stare at Netflix.

–

That moment the lights go down at a concert, the crowd surges forward and you feel the first beat of the opening song pulse through your body.

–

The first warm evening of the Spring, where you’ll find anything to do in the evening, as long as it involves being outside because it’s actually warm enough in England to not wear a jacket.

–

That Friday feeling when you actually have plans in the evening. Don’t get me wrong, I still get the ‘yay Friday’ feeling in lockdown, but nothing beats having fun plans for the evening knowing that you have two days off after.

–

Realising there’s twenty minutes left of happy hour so ordering four drinks, because obviously it makes economical sense, and watching things descend into silliness.

–

When the pilot announces that you need to stay in your seats and the toilets are being locked as you’re beginning the descent, and you know that within the hour you’ll be stepping out of the airport in another country.

–

–

That first pint of the Spring when it’s warm enough to stand outside the pub in the sunshine and you know summer is just around the corner.

–

Stepping off the plane and feeling the hot air hit you like a wall. Cliche, BUT IT’S TRUE.

–

When you go out for dinner and drinks and end up in a bar, despite being completely underdressed. But you don’t really care as it’s spontaneous and fun.

–

Having dinner in the garden with family or friends, wrapping up in blankets, lighting a mosquito candle once the sun’s gone down and sitting out chatting until gone midnight, without having realised it.

–

Your alarm going off at silly-o-clock in the early hours and you’re half annoyed as it’s the middle of the night still, but also buzzing inside because HOLIDAY.

–

And lastly, seeing your family, friends and colleagues faces in the flesh rather than through a screen. Hugging each other. Sharing a proper laugh rather than a typed ‘lol’ or the laughing emoji. Aaaah.
