I have finally succumbed to Covid. My nose is full and my brain is empty.
I’m going to tell you a story. Stick with me, for all should become clear. I have a personal trainer. I mean, there had to be a reason why I have this body, right? My secret is cake, wine, and general sloth, so getting my butt kicked by a man who can stand on his hands, plays rugby, was a former junior tennis champion, and who oozes smug health from his pores is a mitigation of sorts. Once a week I see him in person but no more because I cannot bear it; once a week I train at home...
So last week I went in for my weekly one-to-one torture, and I was rather chuffed with myself because I had walked to gym – that’s 3km – after having a healthy breakfast of porridge with blueberries and cinnamon. This is progress: normally I’d add syrup and cream.
