My husband is such a healthy eater. Except when it comes to sweets. He never consumes anything except fruit until noon.

I used to go swimming and passed the tennis courts every day, and that's how it started. My mum said, 'Why don't you play tennis in your summer holidays because you have nothing to do except swim for an hour or whatever?,' and that's how I started playing.
I know nothing, except the fact of my ignorance.
