– Why did you throw out the closet?" I was waiting in line for him for a month and a half, in general, his nephew collected it for me.

"There is no Greek style.

Peter woke up today in the middle of the night and when he opened his eyes, he continued to listen to the conversation of a man and a woman, thinking that it was not turned off the TV, and there was a movie going on. He led a healthy lifestyle and did not suffer from any diseases.

In the morning, he got up and started getting ready to take a shower, put on the kettle.

– We need to turn on the clipak, for tone.

But when he tried to turn on the TV, he remembered that it hadn't been working for a week.

– But what did I listen to yesterday?" Probably a dream. Okay, it's time to get ready for work, yes, we still need to find a contract-a receipt for buying a TV, a guarantee, in my opinion, there should still be, another year has not passed.

He pulled all the papers out of the cabinet and started sorting through them, when he found it, snatching it out of the pile with a sharp motion. I put it in another small travel folder and started to get dressed.

At the bottom of the mailbox, he saw a letter addressed to Maxim and Nadezhda Kucherov, wishing them a New Year. The email was sent from New Zealand.

– Dima, when was the last time you paid for utilities?

– I don't remember.

– I don't get any invoices.

"Don't worry. So it is necessary, or not necessary.

"We'll see. I suggest we take a walk in the woods. True, today it's too sunny, I have light sensitivity appeared. I need to go to the doctor, I can't find the policy, I was still looking for it yesterday.

"Where are your sunglasses?" So fashionable. We bought them together with my own, well, this… I can't remember, but never mind.

– Len, there it is, I got a call this morning that we were invited to the department store, promised a bonus.

– Where did you see that?" Who invited you?

– Yes, a car passed by with a campaign video today. You know, they're like the ones you invite to the circus.

– Ah … yes, it was bred by some people, or that we should go there. We don't even have a car.

– Apparently Seryoga left the car the day before yesterday, his birthday was celebrated. I'll pick you up later.

– What time is there to go to the department store?"

"Late afternoon, I guess. Usually people gather at this time.

"We won't have dinner, I don't feel like eating," Lena said to Sergey.

– Well, it's probably time to get ready.

– Okay, I'll clean my shoes, they're dirty somewhere, I can't understand, – said Lena.

They went outside and slowly walked towards the city's department store.

– Look, I think this is your car and Seryoga is driving.

"Yes, it looks like it, but he's already drivingaway from the intersection, and he probably can't see us." Probably decided to go for a ride while I can't see, but nothing, then it's due, it won't turn out, " Dima laughed widely and loudly, but no one paid attention to them. Although there were a lot of people nearby, pedestrians.

"They're afraid of your tall stature and athletic build, and they're afraid to look you in the eye, so they don't look at you," the wife said, which pleased her husband.
