Check Sues story I overslept yesterday and didn t wake until 6:30am. I had just enough time to have my usual breakfast of cereal, toast and green tea before meeting my friend Natalie for our usual walk to work along the river. I had a very busy day. I am a librarian at our local council library and I had a full day of preparing for a school visit. The young children were very excited and noisy, but I have a great job and I really enjoy encouraging the children to read books. However, it was great to spend time swimming laps at my local pool after work to relax. My flatmate is away just now so I cooked an easy dinner for myself. It was a stir fry with lots of vegetables, strips of chicken and rice. I was ready for bed by 9:30pm. English Online | English conversation classes
