Dave’s Day Dave’s alarm went off at 6:45am.   He over slept and woke up in a panic, realising he was late for work. He got dressed quickly and jumped in the car. He didn’t have time for breakfast so he had an energy drink in the car. When he got to work he parked right next to the office and ran in just in time. As he ran to his desk he saw his boss looking at him. Dave worked on his computer all morning. Because he was late to work he wanted to make it up to his boss so he ate his lunch at his desk. Because he was running late he hadn’t packed a lunch. Luckily there was a vending machine. He worked on his computer for the rest of the day and at 5:00pm he drove home. That was a busy day! Dave was exhausted and so hungry on the way home and all he wanted to do was relax this evening. He couldn’t be bothered to cook so he stopped at the take away on the way home. He ordered loads because he was so hungry. Dave ate his food in front of the TV. Once he had finished he turned on his PlayStation and played until 9:30pm. His tummy was grumbling! Must have been that early dinner. He made some beans on toast as a snack. He was keen to get to bed a bit earlier because of his stressful morning so he took himself up to bed after his snack. Just as he was settling down in bed his phone lit up on his bedside table. It was a Facebook notification. His friend had shared a really funny video of a bulldog riding a skateboard. It was hilarious. He commented on it and shared it with is friends. Under the video was another one with a water skiing squirrel! Unbelievable! He watched a few more funny videos and then put his phone down again. It was 11:00pm when Dave settled down to go to sleep. He rolled around for about half an hour and then finally drifted off at around 11:30. Remind students of Dave’s Day.
