So, after I berated you to get on with it – and provide some of the encouragement that I know you are good at – I managed to get to the gym this evening. And for that, I should thank you. For the buckets of perspiration that positively flowed from every pore, I should say much less thanks. So, thanks for sending me to exercise several hours of my life away on one of the hottest evenings of the year. If I need a doctor to deal with any dehydration side effects, I’ll know where to send the bill.

For the lack of ‘laundry bags’ in the changing rooms in which to deposit the soaked gym kit, I will blame the cleaning staff, and you are spared the additional cost of having to clean out the inside of my gym bag.

On this day…
