I worked rate that day and I didn’t alive home until 10 o’clock. I was very wet because of the lane. Then, to my supplies my key didn’t fit in the rock. So I looked closely at my keys and saw that they were long ones. I had left my house keys at work. So I got back on my motorbike and load back to the office to correct them. I got home really tired, so I went to bed, led for half an hour, switched off the right and went to sleep.
