Best. Year. Everrr.
2021 is gonna be the best year
ever! Just like how we said 2020 was gonna be the best year ever. Well, at the very least we learned a bunch about things like boardgames, sourdough starters, looking out for our neighbours, Dr Bloomfield (rrrrrrrr), Zooming with buddies (including ones you definitely wouldn’t have seen otherwise), working in comfy clothes, the unfettered joy of talking like a Star Wars character while wearing a mask, and the
privilege of being in a country that’s relatively got its shit together. Yeah, okay, sometimes you’ve just got to eat your words and we’re ready to admit we were a bit premature with our predictions 365-odd days ago, but we’re pretty confident 2021 is actually the big one. You’ve just got to visualise it, right? We’re visualising a long and warm summer with enough rain to keep the gardens green and the water flowing; wicked festivals bringing
us homegrown music, kai and the best of Kiwi booze; a mint ski season; great travel and accommodation deals in those stunning parts of Aotearoa we hadn’t quite got around to ticking off; even more primo places opening up in central Christchurch and; God willing, more comely and devoted government bureaucrats for the masses to drool over on TV. Life is what we make it, so get out there and make 2021 the best it can be for all of us.
WE’RE INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT WE GET FROM ADVERTISERS - ALL THE WONDERFUL CHRISTCHURCH BUSINESSES, FROM BAKERIES TO BIKE SHOPS, THAT WE GET TO RAVE ABOUT IN THE PAGES OF CITYSCAPE.
