Mark had been feeling under the weather1 for weeks. One day he came into work looking like death warmed up2 and so we told him to go away for a few days to recharge his baiterits3. After one day beside the sea, he no Longer felt off-colour4 and by the second day he knew he was on the road to recovery5. He sent us a postcard and, we were all glad to Learn that he was , on the mend6. By the end of the week, he returned to work as fit as a fiddle7. And been as right as rain8 ever since.
