Was the roof of your house all right after the storm. Anna? I saw a workman there will a ladder today. I’d had the roof repaired recently so that wasn’t problem. The workman was putting some new glass in an upstairs window. I think a branch from a tree broke it when it fell off in the wind I was quite lucky – it didn’t damage my car which was parked right under the tree.

My boss has invited me to dinner at his house tomorrow right but I don’t know what sort of present I should take. I suppose flowers are best but it’s not a good time of year for them…. And people always take chocolates tha’s really boring.

What about a plant? I think I’d be happier with the boring chocolates than with a plant actually but thanks for the ideas, anyway.

Excuse me, has anyone found my jacket? I left it on the plane. It’s grey with two buttons down the front and one on each sleeve anything in the pockets, madam? I don’t think so. Yes I’ve got it here.

Hello. This is the travel agency returning your call you left a message about the holidays you’ve booked, asking which sports are included in the cost. There is an extra for windsurfing but if you want to play golf, that’s free for all hotel guests which is good because I think you were especially interested in that let me know if I can help you with any other information. Goodbye

We mustn’t forget to send Mum a postcard….how about this one with a picture of a castle? Well it’s nice but it’s not where we’re actually staying what about a view of the beach and town instead? Or perhaps one of the garden pictures if you think she’d prefer it. Look at the cottage and all the flowers. Mmm. I think your first idea was better. We could put a cross to show where we’re staying right then, let’s do that.

So, we’ve got three hours free. Shall we go to an exhibition? What do you think? Well there’s an exhibition of photographs at the city museum or there’s sculpture exhibition at the art gallery, which is mean to be good. Oh’sculpture’s boring! Let’s go to the museum. I like photos, and we haven’t been there since last year when they had that really interesting exhibition of clothes. Do you remember? Ok I can go and see the sculptures another day.

I’m off now. Mum, I’m going to meet ben at the tennis club because he’s bought some new handlebars for his bike and he wants me to help him put them on and I’ve got to go to the library to take my books back sometime today too. Well do that before you start work on the bike because it isn’t open this afternoon. Ok and we’re going to play tennis after we’ve done the bike so I won’t see you until supper this evening. Bye
