I don’t have any milk,
I’d better add that to the list.
Wonder what they’re up to next door?
They’re making a right racket.
It must be…

Not as sunny this morning as yesterday.
Typical!
Driving all that way yesterday,
And my arm is so sunburned.
It’s a wonder I slept last night.
Enjoyed the weekend though.
How long is it till I go away again?
Must get the washing…

Well, that’s an improvement.
Wonder how long this one will take.
Will I need a shave before I get through?
What time am I out tonight?
Must remember to check on my phone
If I ever finish this call.
Finish? Hah!
Have to start first.
