Hey hey hey, its February. Congratulations you’ve officially survived 1 out of 12 months. Huge.
It’s the weekend. Exhale. Whether you’re currently being held hostage by the claws of capitalism, already ready to tap out now that uni is back in session, or simply feeling the collective morale dip thanks to the political and economic state of the world, remember this: the joy is still ours.
So if you’ve managed to carve out a moment (or two) for yourself over the next couple of days, here’s what we’re looking forward to this weekend. A cute little mix of where to eat, where to dance , and to get cultured enough to feel like a functioning member of society again.
