6 Back in the office, I had to answer about 30 emails. It was slow and not very interesting.
7 After work, I had to wait for the bus for half an hour and then it was full, so I couldn't sit and read.
8 When I got home, I went for a run with my friend, Viv We're going to go on holiday together so we talked about that. It was a lovely warm evening.
9 After dinner, I watched the news on TV I wanted to watch a film as well, but I fell asleep on the sofa.
