I have lunch at 12. I eat a baguette or sandwich at the local café. I sometimes do

home and spend a couple of hours relaxing before I cook dinner.
My son goes to work shortly after I come home. Sometimes he cooks dinner
before I get home, and sometimes I cook. I like to eat rice or pasta with a sauce. I
chop the onions, fry them and then mix them with garlic, tomatoes, carrots,
spinach and chilies. I boil the rice and then add the sauce. After dinner I wash up,
sweep the floor, and tidy up a bit.
Then I make phone calls, mark my students’ work, do the laundry. Then I go on
Facebook, or watch TV until about 10.30 when my son comes home. We catch up
on our day, and at about 11 o’clock I go to bed.
