“Whippets are hounds – miners’ dogs, racers, rabbiters. They are very thin. On top they are velvet and underneath they are bald. They are warm and smell of buttered toast.”

Today I have cancelled my gym membership. I haven’t been for 3 months now and if I’m completely honest with myself, it’s not because I haven’t had time. It’s because I find it extremely boring. I would much rather be outdoors taking a walk through a beautiful park than on the treadmill.
