Vocabulary 19 - C1

Herbert was having a tough day at Oakhaven Industries. His log, usually filled with routine safety checks, now had a peculiar entry: a complaint about Mrs. Higgins' cat using the break room as a napping spot.

He sighed, heading towards The Dog & Duck after work. Maybe a pint would ease his stress. As he walked, he noticed Brian trying to reverse his skateboard up a particularly steep hill.

"Brian, what do you think you're doing?" Herbert called out.

Brian, without breaking his concentration, replied, "Practicing, Dad. It's harder than it looks!"

Herbert shook his head, continuing towards the establishment. He could use the distraction. He pushed open the pub door and scanned the room.

Margot was already there, sitting at their usual table, a half-finished crossword puzzle in front of her. She lifted her head, a weary smile on her face.

"Rough day?" she asked, her gaze sympathetic.

Herbert slumped into the chair opposite her. "You have no idea. Mrs. Higgins' cat, a safety hazard, and now Brian trying to defy gravity with that skateboard."

Margot chuckled. "Well, at least he's active. Speaking of active, remember that old dance contest at the community center? I think it's coming back."

Herbert shuddered. "Please, no. Last time, I nearly had to strip down to my socks to win that tie-breaking dance-off! Never again."

Margot smiled knowingly. "Just saying, it might be fun."

Herbert groaned. "Fun for you, maybe. I'm sticking to my logbook… and avoiding dance contests."
