I have just finished lunch. There was nothing special, but I liked the buriyani. Everyday I have lunch at 11:30. I usually eat with co-workers from my country. Today I had lunch with Rajan. He just came back from leave. He told me he went with his family to Thirupati Temple.

I'm really tired today. I was at the well-head for four hours. The sun was hot and I had to work in some very tight spaces. I dropped the spanner. But luckily it didn't fall very far. The sea was also a little rough. I felt a little dizzy on the boat.

I plan to buy a new car next year. My first choice is a Honda Civic. I like this car because it is not too expensive, it gets good gas mileage and it's easy to maintain. My brother also has a Honda Civic. He let me drive it on my last leave. I feel comfortable with it. I have already saved half of the money I need for it.
