Emma is seemingly quite big now
And is finding it hard to bend down.
That’s a shame. She really needs to grovel quite low to get Clarrie back on side …
Is David thick?
He certainly seems to be so when it comes to Ruth.
[David] “There’s no way you can manage the house as well as the farm”
Ouch!
The right thing to have said, David, was that trying to manage without Emma doing some house cleaning while she’s off having her baby would be: ‘There’s no way WE can manage the house as well as the farm’.
Honestly. What an amateur.
Later on, as he’s once again tripping back home late because he’s been at Lower Loxley all day:
[Ruth] “Where the hell have you been! …You said things are going to be easier from now on. You promised.”
[David, without any sincerity] “Well I was wrong, sorry”
[Ruth] “By the way David, you might be interested you know that your daughter passed her driving test”
Oh dear. And after all the fuss David made about Pip when she first started learning, he ends up completely missing the important part.
David better hope Brian doesn’t start ‘helping# Ruth again …
I’d never have taken Pat for a Royalist
But she seemed just as chuffed as Clarrie was. Pat even reminisced about Princes Margaret.
Where did that feisty Welsh feminist/socialist go?
Clarrie reckons Camilla “looks really nice”
[Clarrie] “You’d think she’d have a look round. I always think she looks really nice. Approachable, you know, like a regular person. I best you could have a proper chat with her.”
[Emma] “You’ll be camping out in the pavement, won’t you!”
Hmmm. I don’t think taking the Michael out of Clarrie was the best way for Emma to win her back …
Clarrie’s not having it
So after taking the Michael, Emma then, very tentatively, asks Clarrie to go shopping with her for the baby.
Which is seemingly a very nice thing for a prospective grandmother to be asked to do.
But Clarrie wasn’t impressed. She even tried to pass it back to Emma as something she should be doing with her own mum.
[Emma] “This baby’s your grandchild too”
Clarrie then said she couldn’t get the time off, promoting Emma to point out that Clarrie had a day off of work to spend time with Nic.
But Clarrie reckoned that was different. It was a WI outing.
Later, Clarrie’s talking to Pat about Emma:
[Clarrie] “Ah, you know what it’s about, don’t you? All them weeks I was laid up with me arm in plaster and in need of a helping hand I hardly saw hide nor hair of her .. .where as Nic were round our place every other day, a little tresasure she were … so now, Emma;s noticed that Nic and me are good friednds and she's jealous … silly girl”
Ouch! Far, far too little, far far too late, Emma.
Nigel’s filing causes the meltdown
David’s screwed up yet again.
He’s god rid of Brian’s help, Emma’s about to not be available for work due to impending baby, and now he realised that THE meeting with Graham Ryder isn’t as straightforward as it seems.
(I’m not exactly sure who Graham Ryder is – possibly the lawyer, accountant or Trustee. Whatever he is, he’s important enough to get stressed about).
David needs more information, but is having an awful time trying to find anything in Nigel’s rather eccentric filing system.
[Elizabeth] “Sometimes you need to think a bit laterally for Nigel’s filing”
And Elizabeth went on to explain that Nigel once filed an invoice under B for beard as that was all he could ever remember about the supplier.
Bless.
But as Elizabeth tries to track everything down for David, she gets more and more irate (which David doesn’t seem to notice – which is odd, considering he was the one saying that she needed to let it all out).
Elizabeth:
“How could anyone else possibly deal with his eccentric setup …
(when she told him that they’d be knackered if he was run over by a bus) “ …he just laughed, and he promised he’d take care when crossing the road, as I literally meant a bus …he never took any notice of me, never …
“WHAT WAS HE THINKING OF DAVID, GOING CLAMBOURING ABOUT ON THAT ROOF … IT WAS JUST SO TYPICAL OF HIM,. SO IRRESPONSIBLE … I WARNED HIM. I TOLD HIM NOT TO GO UP THERE, BUT DID HE LISTEN? NO, HE DIDN’T!!! JUST IGNORED ME, SOMETIMES I JUST GET SO ANGRY WITH HIM
“…I try not to give into it, it doesn’t do any good, but sometimes….”
Phew!
I think we all felt a wee bit better for that.
