My routine requires me to leap from my bed of pain and do health-giving exercises before my litre of orange juice. Perhaps “leap” is not the appropriate term at my time of life. If I am honest, it is not unlike a ball of pyjamas falling onto the bedroom floor. But let the record read that at least I make an effort.
