Susan’s front page news

Susan is on the front page of The Echo – as she was near Camilla when the picture was taken.

Seemingly Clarrie isn’t happy about it. She can’t be seen.

To be exact, she can’t be seen because Susan is waving her Union Jack flag over Clarrie’s face.

Ah Clarrie. Will your light ever be let out from that bushel?



Lynda’s still going on, and on, and on …

Now Lynda reckons that Camilla gave a hoot that her bicycle chain had come off, while she was alone, in the dark, on a country lane. She’s seemingly not saying:

[Jennifer] “How affected by her plight (Camilla) was”

[Jolene] “I’m not so sure about that Jennifer. She just gave her a wave”

Quite right Jolene.

In fact, Camilla saw that Lynda was in distress, and just drove on.

Hardly the beginnings of a deep and meaningful relationship.


Ian Craig to do THE wedding?

(and I will admit that I had to go and do a bit of research to get the notion out of my mind that they were talking about Andrew and Fergie … my how time has marched on without me noticing)

Probably not. I’d have thought they’d chose their chef based on more than just some decent shortbread.

However, I wouldn’t put it by Camilla to soon launch a new range of Duchy …


Brian’s off to Paris

With Matt and Lilian.

That wasn’t Brian’s plan. It did sound like he was up to something, after all the effort he want to in persuading Jennifer that it’d be pointless her tagging alone.

My money was on him asking Ruth to accompany him but, let’s face it, I don’t think Brian would actually have been that fussy.

Anyhoo – he’s got no chance to dally with Lilian and Matt also on the trip. In fact, he can’t even relax in his room without Lilian stalking him (though to be fair, he did say he’d be down to dinner).

[Brian] “How to matt and Lilian manage to stick their beaks into everything?”

Just to keep annoying you, Brian …


Kenton’s being a twerp

After his chat with Kirsty yesterday, Kenton seems to have decided that the best way for him to deal with Jolene is to avoid and ignore.

He refuses a coffee.

Then cancels their night out at a gig, by telephone, during which he hung up very abruptly, before Jolene could say goodbye.

That’s simply spot on Kenton. Good job indeed. You have feelings for Jolene, you think that’s wrong, so – of course – the best thing to do is to be an arse to Jolene, and make her feel like crap.

That’s just what she needs – and is certainly what Matt wants …

Nice one Kenton. You’re a true friend indeed (!)


Eddie’s a Bonnie Tyler fan

Who’d have thunk it?

Nic’s decided that she and Will need to sort something out for Eddie’s impending 60th birthday, rather than assuming Clarrie will sort it.

[Nic] “Why does it always have to be up to her. Why can’t we do something … be nice if we could do the organising for a change”

Will agrees with Nic, and later comes up with the idea that Eddie would love a night at the races.

They even reckon that they could give Eddie money to gamble with, rather than giving him presents. Which Will is glad about, as he was running out of ideas:

[Will] “I can’t get him another Bonnie Tyler CD”

I’m off to ponder this new information that Eddie is a Bonnie Tyler fan …


Ruined packet of crisps

That Jake and Mia can’t be trusted with a prawn cocktail packet of crisps.

They ended up ruining them by spilling them all over the floor as they fought over them.

But all’s well. There was another box of them our back.

Phew!



Poor Jolene

She’s not a daft one, is our Jolene.

Kenton suddenly blowing cold is all too obvious to Jolene – and she’s annoyed with herself for being so upset that Kenton’s cancelled their night out at the gig.

Trying to tell herself that it doesn’t matter, Nic catches her muttering away to herself.

[Nic] “I won't tell anyone, except myself”

(nice touch Nic).

So maybe Jolene also liked Kenton – maybe she didn’t, and is just gutted that a friend can treat her so badly.

Either way – Kenton, you are a twerp!
