George,

I’m just going shopping for the afternoon. Hope your game of golf was good. I’ve just seen an ad for a boat trip round the islands. We can’t go tomorrow because we have the coach trip to the old Greek ruins, so how about Sunday? We’ll have a lovely day sailing around the islands with lunch included! Do you think you could get the tickets? I’m sure you’ll love it.
