It's a sign of the times when what a child wants for her birthday is “For Covid to be over so I can go on a holiday together with my cousins”. I suppose I can put away that Lego set I bought on discount for next year, then.
But I have to tell the kid something about what happens between now and whenever the new normal will come to be. Last year’s birthday was already somewhat curtailed by the government’s advice to not visit too many people; for this year’s birthday, the advice is enforced by law.
