The past two years of on-and-off restrictions and being in-and-out of lockdown meant that past dancing days felt further away than ever before.
Instead of getting ready with pals to head out in our droves, we were toasting to each other over Zoom. It sometimes felt like we'd never again have the sort of nights out we once enjoyed.
We missed those nights of pre-drinking whilst either slapping on a face or dosing ourselves in aftershave. We missed shivering in the queue outside Beach Club, or banging on the cubicle door of a loo.
