Have you been out at 5.30am recently? It’s hilarious. I’m usually up around then to take my dog for a walk before I go to yoga. I see the most extreme mix of people. One on hand, there are the healthy people, of which I try really hard to be one, such as the boot-campers in the park, and the joggers, and the yogis with their mats rolled up under their arms. On the other, it’s toxin city. There are a few leather-men slinking out of the local park, some couples stumbling home from a big night, shoes and hangovers in hand, and tradies fagging away on their way to work. Even if I wasn’t myself heading to class, just being out watching the action is enough to make you feel healthy by default. It’s not advisable, of course, if you’ve had a late night. Because then you’re immediately on the other side of the health fence. You can only do it if you’re feeling all bright and bushy-tailed and want some kind of consolation for the fact that you had a quiet and actually quite boring night in.
