My last Sunday
Yesterday was a bit of a strange Sunday. Since my brother had to leave for Moscow, I had to wake up early and take him to the airport. Anyhow, on our way we got stuck in a traffic jam so we had to change route. Fortunately, I know some shortcuts and it didn't take too long to get there. In the same morning I had to go play football with my team. The game was really poor but we managed to win it: we can still hope to win the championship! Afterwards I went back home, had a quick meal and then went window-shopping with two friends of mine. I didn't buy anything because there was nothing I was interested in. In the late afternoon I decided to pay a visit to the Craig's. They asked me to stay there and watch a movie with them. I wasn't really up for a flick but I thought it'd be rude to decline their offer so I stayed there. Once the movie was over I was really tired: I said hello to my friends and went back home to get some deserved rest.

My new car
Yesterday morning I received a call from an unknown number. At first, I thought it was one of the usual scam calls so I decided not to answer. When the phone rang again I thought it could have been someone who wanted to tell me something important. So I decided to tap on the green button and said: "Hello?". It was the car dealership. They told my car had just arrived and that I could pass around to collect it whenever I wanted. I was so excited that I hang up the phone without even saying thanks.
After collecting my car I went for a ride in the hills. I just to wanted to try it a little but unfortunately I finished crashing into a tree and now I've got to take it to the mechanic. I'm absolutely gutted because I have no money to repair it. I'll have to ask a friend of mine for a loan.

Sarah's pet
Last night Sarah and Dave broke up. Sarah usually gets home from work very late so she doesn't have time to cook her meal. Because of this she asked her boyfriend to prepare something good for dinner. When Dave opened the fridge he discovered that all the food had gone off so he decided to take a risk and cook Sarah's rabbit. I think that was really mean of him. Why would you ever do any harm to your girlfriends' pet ? At first Sarah thought that he had just pulled a bad joke on her but when she realized that the little rabbit had gone forever she decided to ditch him. If I were I would have done the same thing!

An unexpected call
This morning I received a call from Simon, a friend of mine living in Hamfaken, UK. I hadn't heard from him for a very long time, so I was a bit confused when his name appeared on the screen of my mobile! I thought I had visions!
During our 3-hour-chat we talked about what happened since we last met in London and, to my great astonishment, I discovered that he got married and that his wife, Lisa, is already expecting a baby. I still can't believe it! He told me he'd never get married in his whole lifetime!
He also informed me that next week he'll be here in Italy on business and that he'd like to meet me in Venice. Unfortunately my car is broken down and I won't be able to go there. However, I told him that if he wants he can pay a visit here in my hometown (Genoa) whenever he wants. I'm looking forward to encountering him again.
