21 things to look forward to in 2021 – from meteor showers to the Olympics
1. It’s not 2020 any more!
You probably found a few things to enjoy about last year: you rediscovered your bicycle, perhaps, or your family, or even both, and learned to love trees. And don’t forget the clapping. Plus some brilliant scientists figured out how to make a safe and effective vaccine for a brand new virus in record time.
Overall, though, unless you’ve got some pals in government who gave you a contract to make PPE (even though you’re a PE teacher), or you’re Jeff Bezos, then the whole shitshow needs to be drop-kicked into the past. Do one, 2020.
2. One sharp scratch …
… for mankind, one giant leap back towards normality. (OK: two sharp scratches, but let’s not get hung up on details.) Unless you’re an anti-vaxxer, there’s a damn good chance you’re going to get jabbed in 2021. You might have already had the vaccine, or the first dose at least.
3. #TrumpOut
Unless he superglues himself to the Oval Office floor, or mobilises 70 million second amendment-toting nuts and stages an actual coup, then the Orange One really is outta the White House and Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the on 20 January.
