Ana is calling Jeff and she is leaving a message on his answering machine.

Hi, Jeff! I can’t reach you on your mobile. I'm calling you to tell you about my plans. I spoke to Julia and this is what we are going to do; tomorrow, I'm buying some paint and we are painting my room. I think that beige will be just fine. Oliver is coming to help us. It would be great if you could come, too.

I'm rearranging the furniture now. I need to put it in the centre of my room. Julia can't believe that my couch still looks new after all these years.

Anyway, when we finish with painting, the next step is shopping. Julia wants to buy a new bathing suit and I am thinking about buying a new hat. Oh, yes. You said that you wanted that leather belt. Please, don't forget to remind me to buy it for you if you still want it.

And now, can you guess where are we going for our holiday? Greece! We are staying at the same hotel where Martin had his holiday. He tells me that I won't be disappointed since he knows my tastes. Picking a good hotel can be a real challenge since you never know what you're really going to get. The pictures at the travel agency don't show everything, you know.

Julia is visiting her grandmother the day after tomorrow and we are leaving on Friday.
 
So, Jeff, call me back when you get the message.

Bye!
