Luke Likes 'How Do You Get To'

I have a lie, I have a lie for you today, a big, big lie. The lie is that I work at the office, at the office and I go there, I go over there every day. Well, from Monday to Friday, in the morning, to work, hard work, at the office.

So I get out of my place, get out of my place and get into the car, get into, get into the car. On my way I meet my neighbour and his dog. Hi neighbour! Hi neighbour's dog!

And then I get to the train station, get to, get to the train station. It takes me, it takes, it takes me around 10 minutes to get to the station. So I get on the train, get on, get on the train and get to the big city, the big city.

I get off, get off, get off the train, I get off the train after around 40, 45 minutes, 40, 45 minutes. So I get off the train and I'm a little late now. So I run, run like a madman, through the station, run through the station and get out, get out of, get out of the station and go across the street. I go across, go across the street.

Just, I just walk, well run, I run but the shortest, the shortest way is through the park. So I get into, get into the park, get into the park and I go around, go around the small pond, pond. Say hello to the ducks, obviously. Hi ducks!

And over the foot bridge, over the bridge, I go over the bridge. And then past, I go past, I go past the playground and then I go down, I go down a small, a small hill and get out of the park.

So I go left and go past some houses on the left. Yeah, go past some houses. Now I'm really late, so I run, I run along the street, along the street. And then down, I go down the street on the left and I get to the office. At last, finally, I get to the office. I go upstairs and to my desk.

It takes me around one hour to get to the office. I work very hard and then get back from work, from work. Somehow, somehow, don't know why, it takes 30 minutes to get back, it's really fast.

So I get out of the office, down the street, into the park and up the hill, run up the hill, I'm so late, up the hill. Go past the playground and over the bridge, I go around the pond. Say hello to the ducks, obviously. Hi ducks! And out of the park. then run across the street and to the station. I run through the station, I'm so late now, and I get to my town and get off the train, get into the car, get back to my place.

On my way, I meet the neighbour and his dog. Hi neighbour! Hi neighbour's dog! And, I'm here.

Luke Likes 'I Love My Town'

A map for today, I have a map for today, just a little bit. So, I live in a small town, I love it, I love it. And why? Well, many reasons. There are many reasons.

Well, first of all, first of all, I like it, because it is not that big, it is not that big, so whatever you want is here, within, within, within 10, 15 minutes. For example, you want to see a film, you want to see, you want to see a film? No problem. 5 minute walk, and you are at the cinema. You want a supermarket? Well maybe not a super-market, but a big shop. No problem. Just a 10 minute walk maybe, and you are there. You can buy whatever you like.

I like that you can go to the big city, to the big city, anytime you want, and it doesn't take a lot of time. It doesn't. It gives me headache sometimes when I visit the capital of Poland. Yeah.

I love the river, I love the river area, where you can spend some time, some free time, and maybe hang out with your friends and family, I like that.

Also, there are a few cafes over here, a few restaurants as well, a few restaurants.There is a food market, small local shops, a small theatre, but for me, it's really cool that we have a few basketball courts and tennis courts, so it's fun for me, it is. Oh we also have a swimming pool, a swimming pool and a lot of gyms, a lot of gyms. People do that over here. So, there is a hospital, there are playgrounds for kids, and I think plenty of work for people.

I feel comfortable over here, I feel comfortable. And I like the fact, I like the fact that it's an old town, it's an old place, and although, although it was destroyed, destroyed, it was destroyed a long time ago, a long, a long time ago, it's still here, it's still here. It makes me feel, it makes me feel proud and strong.

It's not the biggest, it's not the prettiest, the prettiest, and not the happiest, not the happiest, but it is my place.

It's not in my pocket. Well, somehow, somehow, it is on the sofa behind the cushion, on the sofa. But actually, between the cushions, between the cushions, I have no idea how it got there. Let's be honest. Let's be honest. That's a horrible place for a phone.

Also, the earbuds, the earbuds. They are so small, so, so small. Where are they? Where are they? Where are they? They must be somewhere. They must be somewhere in the bag.
