Yesterday, my day was incredible! In the morning, I woke up well-rested. The sun was shining and the birds were singing in my garden. I was late for my bus, but the driver waited for me. When I got off the bus, I found a two-euro coin on the pavement [US: sidewalk]. At lunchtime, my colleague [US: coworker] Lucie shared her meal with me. It was absolutely delicious! And after work, I bought a scratchcard [US: scratch ticket] and I won fifty euros!

I'll be right with you...
