Hi Mysto

Yesterday I met my friend, Tom in the street. First he didn't see me because he was looking at a shopwindow, but when I was standing in front of him, he was very happy.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I am visiting my cousin. You know, he works at the post office." he answered.
"And how is your wife?"
"Thanks, she's OK now. She found a new job last month, and now she is earning more than I do.
"Oh, really? But why did she need a new job? Didn't she like the office?"
"Two months ago her boss left the company, and they didn't like each other with her new boss. While she was looking for a new job, she met one of her old school friends, who wanted a new secretary. He gave her the job immediately! Her only problem is that she has to travel three quarters of an hour every day to get to work."
"But why doesn't she go to work by car? Didn't you have two cars when we met last time?"
"Yes, we did. But three weeks ago I had an accident. I was driving home from work when another car crashed into me. I was lucky that I didn't have to go to hospital, because he drived at 70 mph."
"You were really very lucky then. I have to go back to work now. It was nice to meet you."
"Yes, and don't forget to give us a ring when you're in Brixton. You must come and visit us."
"OK, thanks. Bye."
"Bye."
