E-MAIL TO AN OLD FRIEND

Hi John,

How are you? It’s been ages since we last spoke. I hope everything is going well. Sorry, I haven’t been in contact recently.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but since the last time we spoke I left my job. I’m now working at Omega in Manchester. It’s a similar job to what I had before, but I have more responsibility (and more hours unfortunately) and the pay is better (which is nice). Are you still working at Tyson or have you changed, too? I’ve also bought a new car (a Honda Civic). You know, I don’t like to spend money, but I had to buy a new car after the car I had (the blue Ford escort) kept breaking down. The last time it happened, I was in the middle of nowhere. I had to wait for two hours until the break down service arrived!

A funny thing happened to me and Julia when we were in trekking in Wales about two months ago. We were walking up Snowden when it suddenly started to snow. I thought that it wouldn’t last for long, so we continued going up. But it did and it got worse. So it took us about 30 minutes to go back. In summer, (so fortunately no snow!) we’re planning to go to the Pyrenees in Spain for a week. You’ve been there, haven’t you? Have you got any suggestions of places which we should visit when we are over there?

We really should meet up some time. Let me know when you are free.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Take care,

Bill

P.S. Julia gives her love.
