Last Saturday was a very busy day for me. I woke up at seven o’clock in the morning. I was tired, but I had many plans.

First, I went to the gym. I ran for thirty minutes and lifted some weights. After that, I came home and made breakfast. I ate eggs, toast, and an orange.

At ten o’clock, my friend Marco called me. He wanted to meet for coffee. We met at a small cafe in town. We talked for about an hour about our holiday plans.

In the afternoon, I visited my grandmother. She was alone all morning, and she always felt happy when I came. We watched a film together, and I brought her some flowers. She smiled a lot.

In the evening, my sister arrived from her trip. We had dinner together at home. We cooked pasta with sauce. I was very tired, but it was a wonderful Saturday.
