How are you? | Thanks. I bought it from Harrods. |
Nice to see you again. | Yes, I think we last met two years ago in Manila. |
It's been a long time, hasn't it? | Yes, awful. I think it's rained every day since I arrived. |
Nice weather today, isn't it. | Fine thanks. And you? You're looking well. |
Terrible weather isn't it. | Yes, I did thanks. It was very useful. |
That's a nice shirt/blouse. | Yes, it is, isn't it? Not like the coffee you get in Italy. |
This coffee's a bit weak. | Yes, lovely. I hope it stays like this for the weekend. |
Did you get that mail I sent you? | Nice to see you too. How are you? |
