What they want?

I had to get up early this morning. Id like to sit and have a of
tea and a biscuit somewhere quiet and pleasant before 1
start my shopping.
It's my lunch hour and I'm in a hurry - a glass of milk and a
sandwich would be ideal.
One of the best things about being on holidays is that you
don't have to rush your mea s and we can take the
opportunity to try something new - perhaps a foreign dish?
Were so tired! Weve been shopping all day and were all
hungry.
Mind you, the children don't eat much - they always start
playing around before we've finished.
Its my birthday Id really like something special - what
about something from abroad? That'd be fun for you but l'd
rather not eat foreign food myself.
