What did Martin do yesterday?

Yesterday morning, Martin got up at a quarter to five. Then he went to the bathroom. At six o’clock, he got dressed. He put on trousers, a shirt, a sweater, and socks. Martin left for work at half past six. He didn’t have breakfast at home. He had breakfast at his favorite café. He had coffee, eggs, and homemade bread. Martin arrived at work at eight o’clock. He worked all morning. He had a lot of work. He also had an important meeting. At half past twelve, Martin went to a restaurant for lunch. He had schnitzel with mashed potatoes. He liked it very much. He returned to work at half past one. Martin didn’t go home until seven o’clock. It was a long day.
