Waitangi Day today, so no work. We should get out for the day.
I was thinking the same.- What are you keen on doing?
- Well, I haven't been for a surf in a while.
- You up for heading out to the coast?
- Yeah, nah, not sure I'm up for that.
- Really?
- Yeah - I left my board at my cousin's pad - and it's too far away to pick up.
- What would you like to do, then?
- Well, the other guys are playing beach cricket today.
- We could go and join them.
- Don't know if I'm up for that.
- I played cricket all yesterday.
- Got any other ideas?
- Seems like we both wanna hit the beach.
- True.
- So what about we grab our togs and go for a swim?
- Sounds like a plan.
- Then later we can grab some fish and chips on the way home.
- You're on - let's go!
