Tony wants to give his cows a footbath
With the whole family working from Bridge Farm buying with getting orders done in time for New Year, Pat’s quite put-out that Tony wants to give his cows a footbath.
Tony is in overdrive in an attempt to avoid and forget his argument with Helen, but Pat also reckons that this time of year is always bad for Tony.
He gets down due to the lack of daylight.
Did I hear that right? Could we have a happier Tony if we bought him one of those SAD lights?
That’d be brilliant. It might also stop his egomania and paranoia.
Tony’s heard that Helen spent yesterday tidying Ambridge Organic’s stock room, then putting up curtains. So, Tony concludes that Helen wasn’t really tired at Ian’s party.
Oh for goodness sake! You’re as bad as each other.
Complicated?
David’s an odd ‘un sometimes.
What’s so complicated about Ruth driving Heather and Pip to the train station, with Pip then driving Ruth back?
Sparks for Heather and Jim?
Never mind the 60th Anniversary and ‘Shakes Ambridge to the Core’ (SATTC) – what happened between Heather and Jim?
Nae need for Worchester
Nigel’s on again about the brooch he found. Which he wants to give to Elizabeth at New Year, but needs to get it cleaned in time.
I still don’t get the big deal. Here’s hoping the brooch has some sort of curse … turning Elizabeth into a Julia Pargetter clone!
Running out of options, Nigel was facing even having to go as far as Worchester to get it sorted.
But David saves the day – he knows a retired chap in Felpersham who Nigel manages to get the broach to.
Phew!
I was worried there (!).
Tom’s right (ugh!)
I am very concerned that the whole ‘situation’ between Helen and Tony is resulting in Tom coming across as a rational and kinda nice guy.
What is the world coming to?
Tom was right that Helen’s protest against everyone fussing was better than them not fussy at all – AND he manages to persuade Helen to at least go out with their mates before the bells at New Year.
Helen’s refusing to go to Bridge Farm for the bells – instead wants to stay at home, and be in bed by 10pm. Which is quite a common reaction for quite a lot of folks to New Year celebrations.
[Helen] “Mum will be disappointed I know, I’m sorry … It’d only be more of the same … what make things up? No. No matter how many presents he buys, deep down he just can’t change the way he feels about the baby”
Tom did well to get Helen to change her mind to at least go out for a bit, but had to admit defeat in getting her to Bridge Farm.
I actually feel sorry for Tom stuck between Pat/Tony and Helen. And I feel sorry for myself that I’m starting to have a grudging respect for Tom in how he’s coping and dealing with such a rift in his family.
The horror of rouge on a white wig
Lynda calls Nigel, just as he’s returning from his dash to Felpersham on his brooch mission, in an utter flap about his wig.
It would seem that there is rouge on Nigel’s dame white wedding wig, which an attempt has been made upon to clean, resulting in a wig that now looks like dreadlocks.
The travesty!
[Lynda] “It would ruin the artistic unity of the scene ... surely I don’t have to explain the symbolism!”
Despite Nigel trying to stop Lynda corralling him into returning to Felpersham to get a new wig, and despite knowing that he’ll be in deep trouble with Elizabeth for disappearing from all the work at Lower Loxley for so long, Nigel heads back for the wig.
Well – what’s a roasting from Elizabeth when you have Lynda on your back during Panto time?
[Lynda] “The entire artistic endeavour of this Panto depends on you. Goodbye!”
[Nigel] “Well when you put it like that, it’s a case of turn again, Pargetter, I suppose”
Tony’s not surprised
And actually sounds like he doesn’t care.
[Tony] “It hardly comes as a great surprise to hear that Helen doesn’t want to see me … what’s the point … just leave it”
Tony now expects Helen to avoid him, and doesn’t seem interested in trying to mend their relationship.
My word – Tony is hardly Father of the Year! I always thought parents never gave up on their kids …
Parrots and bosoms
At tonight’s Panto, David’s parrot needs to be sorted so that it doesn’t keep getting caught on his earring.
And:
[Nigel] “Are my bosoms straight?”
[David] “They are spectacular!”
Just a few more *snort* moments to keep us a bit chirpy post-Christmas.
