B Natural answer

My idea of a perfect lazy day on holiday is to from the moment I wake up. I’d have a long breakfast, maybe by the sea, and then where I can read or listen to music. I don’t need a big schedule. I just want a few easy things, like a swim, a cold drink, and some time to do nothing. In the afternoon, I might sit in the shade and for a while. That kind of day feels restful, because I’m still enjoying the place, but I’m not rushing anywhere.
