Do you remember your 25th birthday? I remember mine – somewhere in the fever dream of the Covid-19 pandemic, I'd just managed to move before a lockdown occurred, leaving me in sole possession of a cake intended for my whole family. After a brief attempt at recreating that scene from Matilda, I called everyone I knew locally to offer some out in a distanced manner and then played FIFA all evening.
It's hardly a party worthy of The Great Gatsby, but it's a fairly normal sounding way to celebrate twenty-five years of existence. A Lange and Söhne clearly didn't get that memo, though.
