– Well, that's the last day at work done and dusted. Now I can just put my feet up and relax and wait for Christmas.

– I find it best to keep things in perspective. Keep it all as simple as possible. Live modestly, and all that.
– I thought you were more into splashing out lavishly and eating as much as possible.
– In my earlier years, perhaps I was known for living life to the full. But as one gets older and wiser, one begins to appreciate that it is less about quantity than quality.

– Well, you never know when guests might drop by.
