Small talk at lunch Yesterday my friend and I had a small talk about our holidays at lunch. He went to Austria to ski and I stayed at home. I don't usually like staying at home, but after my long trip to Thailand I was exhausted and wanted to have some downtime. I told my associate that I would have enjoyed skiing even better, but since my wife prefers vacationing where it is warmer, like Spain and Italy, we decided just to stay put. And I don't blame her because I also like warm countries, although trying something different is also good for me. Anyway, staying in Moscow allowed us to catch up on the movies we'd been meaning to watch. That's why we went to the cinema almost every day in the evenings.
