I meet my friends, every weekday after work. We meet in the main street at 5;30 p.m.
Sometimes we meet one hour later if someone has to do shopping or stay late at job.
We go to our favorite coffee, we usually take black tea and a slice of lemon cake.
We relax and enjoy our time together. This is how we keep our friendship for ages.
