Cars rather than brothers

Well chuffed with her new car (especially with its new car smell), Pip offers to take Josh and Ben to school.

And promises to be careful:

[Pip] “I will be … especially as it’s my car”

That’s right Pip. Priorities perfectly aligned.

Still wondering what type of car it is though …



What colour Usha. WHAT COLOUR????

There’s too much teasing going on from Ambridge residents these days.

They won’t tell us what car Pip has got.

And Usha seemingly has inside knowledge about what the ‘in’ colour is this season, but didn’t say what it is.

We can’t see you, by the way folks.


Usha’s book club

Will this be the new savour for book sales, taking the mantle from Richard & Judy?

[Usha] “It’s just want the cultural landscape in Ambridge needs”

Ahem.

Maybe not,


He who shall not be named

But Pip did.

Spotting that Elizabeth wasn’t exactly the life and soul, Pip thanked Elizabeth for her support during the whole … *spit* … Jude … *spit* … saga. …

I just had a horrible thought.

You don’t think He will return one day?


Elizabeth has some self-awareness

At last – Elizabeth mentions that she is making things difficult at Brookfield.

But, she didn’t mention that she was going to cease doing so.

Ah – completely self-obsessed. That’s more like our Elizabeth.

And not to forget the fact that times are still very tough for her (and will continue to be so for a fair while).

[Pip] “It must be so hard to have to pin a smile on and be happy”

[Elizabeth] “Just enjoy it. Enjoy it while you can”

Hmmm. There’s a cheery thought for an 18th!


The 18th that wasn’t really much ado

So Pip’s now legal, but her birthday wasn’t really up to much for an 18th.

Ach well. Pip seemed quietly satisfied.

She got a car. A nodding cow for the car (from Freddie and Lily). And some jewellery.

Plus she had a nice tea with her family.

Which is nothing to be sniffed at, considering it involved Jill’s pavlova.
