Like every year, in the runup to my birthday I found myself debating whether or not to celebrate it, spending entire days weighing up the pros and cons of putting myself at the center of attention for a couple of hours. I settled on the most laid-back of options: a good old picnic with friends — some drinks. Some bites. Just be there.
But don't worry, social anxiety won't be the focus of this story. Instead, I want you to know all there is to know if you, like me, were to opt for an en plein air type of celebration this time around. Or, better, all the things you didn't know you needed for it, birthday celebration or not; who needs an excuse for a picnic? Especially in this weather.
