Allan
So, tell me... how was your break? Did you head off anywhere?
Claire
Yeah, we took a scenic route up the coast and went off the beaten path. How about you?
Allan
Oh, we went bush, actually. Took the family camping in the Grampians. It was pretty rustic, but the views were stunning.
Claire
We ended up spending most of our time just soaking up the sun. We even tried some paddleboarding—it was harder than I thought, but a good laugh.
Allan
Paddleboarding, eh? I’ve always wanted to give that a go.
Claire
To be honest, I spent more time falling into the water than actually paddling.
Allan
Ha! Sounds like fun, though. Ready to be back at work now?
Claire
Eh, not really, but here we are.
