Exercise 44
Tôny is making plans for Saturday with Lûk, another teacher in the school. What are they saying?
Lûk:
Won’t you and Crysten be spending time together on Saturday?
Tôny:
No. Crysten will be going to Newquay. To surf with three other accountants.
Lûk:
Four accountants on one beach? A very merry day!
Tôny:
Oh, we teachers aren’t a bundle of laughs either.
Lûk:
You’re right … But here’s an idea. The forecast for Saturday is fine weather. So we’ll go to Portreath, you and me, for a laid back day for lazy lads. A bit of sunbathing. A bit of swimming. A bit of drinking cool beer. Mingling with the tourists.
Tôny:
Quite an easy day. Yes, it’s a good idea. Better than hanging about in Camborne.
Lûk:
Well, not everything’s easy. It’ll be difficult to park the car close to the beach if we don’t go early.
Tôny:
Breakfast by the sea then. But coffee with it please. Beer later.
Lûk:
Definitely coffee for an early hour. And doughnuts – why not?
