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.
