Charles: Well, I should stop talking about myself; what did you do today?
Patrick: Well, remarkably, today I'm taking a day off that is going to last for a long time, and I went jogging for an hour and a half.
Charles: In the cold?
Patrick: Yeah, in the cold, it was minus 3 (Celsius), I was cold, I had my hood, I was running like crazy.
Charles: Isn't it too hard?
Patrick: Yes, it is a little, but there were three crazy guys with me, three people who were running with me around the stadium, and then I had a date with my girlfriend, Gigi. She is a dancer at the Paris Opera, and, well, I had lunch with her.
Charles: You had lunch at this place we went to in Boulogne?
Patrick: No, it is a small "bistrot" in the 7th arrondissement, and there we talked about our family. She is very pretty and has a fabulous body.
Charles: But as far as conversation, is it better than the Danish girl, or does she only talk about herself?
Patrick: Well, she talks a lot about herself, but that is fine. She was interested in me which was enjoyable, and we had lunch for two hours. So it was very nice, and then I went to see my grandmother. I went to see her because she is sick.
Charles: Oh?
Patrick: Yes, she is sick, she has a flu, but when you have the flu at 90 it is a bit dangerous, so you go see her. And so it was nice, and then I came to see Dad. I come here to see my dad because he is leaving for two weeks for the Caribbean and I wanted to say good-bye. But otherwise it was a great day, really nice. It was beautiful, a little cold, but very nice.
