Christine has a dental appointment
Which means it’s up to Jim and Lynda to show the engineer from Gardners Question time round the village hall.
[Jim] “He’ll sound out the hall, literally”
And Pete (the engineer chap) was seemingly quite impressed with the hall.
(The tension, it does mount …)
Matt Crawford: a keen Gardners’ Question Time listener
Who’d have thunk it!
Despite Matt seeming to turn back to his bad old ways after coming out of Prison (lying to Lilian, scheming etc), one thing has changed.
He has found a love for horticulture.
[Jim] “Would you have Matt Crawford down as someone keen to get his hands on tickers for Gardners’ Question time?”
Mais non!
But he did do a lot of gardening on the inside (wonder if he managed to get roses to grow? The Prisoner Cell Block H ladies seemed to do quite well).
Jim likes Shula
And all it took was Nigel to die.
[Jim] “Shula’s strength and character have really come to the fore over the last few months. She’s been quite splendid”
Kathy’s a clype!
Clarrie was already too aware that Joe and Eddie had been up to culinary mischief on Sunday, but Kathy told her all.
[Clarrie] “They says all furtive like, that they had to go down the field”
So not content with almost being caught, Eddie and Joe had later stole off to collect their dinner from the shed and the van, then took it round Fat Paul’s to eat.
Cheeky!
Clarrie also found a dirty carving knife in a drawer, on top of her clean towels. So she didn’t really need Kathy to say anything.
[Clarrie] “Stood over them until they told me the whole story … I’m that ashamed of them, Jolene …Kathy though it was funny. But no, they need teaching a lesson”
Cripes. Clarrie does sound proper angry this time!
The Peregrines have Lynda to watch over them
They’re back, and it looks like Lynda reckons they have eggs.
She’ll keep them safe from those church goers (a bit of bird poop never did hurt anyone).
Jim has chosen the next Book Club book
And there was no great surprise what sort he went for.
Lynda though he might be reasonable and plump for one of his ‘Roman Detectives’:
[Lynda] “One doesn’t want anything too challenging for the likes of Joe Grundy”
But alas … Jim started waffling on about some roman folks I’d never heard of, and how the book should be:
[Jim] “A work with a far higher purpose.”
Hmmm.
So Jim’s choice is:
[Jim] “Ovid’s Metamorphoses … 15 books … I shall select a couple and let people know … it’s not as if I expect people to read it in the original”
*sigh*
Even Lynda was hard pushed to explain to Clarrie what the book was about. She started grasping at ‘something to do with changing … shape shifting’ and the like.
[Clarrie] “Maybe reading that will change him (Joe) into something I don’t have to be ashamed of”
Boy! Clarrie really isn’t going to let Eddie and Joe off lightly this time. No indeed not.
Clarrie has a plan
She’s going to set Jim on Eddie and Joe.
[Clarrie] “But this is bad, Lynda, even for Joe and Eddie”
(on Jim saying he thought their plan to get their Sunday dinner was ingenious)
[Lynda] “Ingenious! It’s downright deceitful”
So Clarrie decides that Jim needs to sort Joe out, as Joe actually listens to him.
Worth a try, I suppose.
But what about Eddie? Who on earth will he listen to?
Show Scene ahoy!
Kenton and Jolene are meant to be taking it slow, but are quite clearly very (very) attracted to each other.
Have a small mope that they won’t see much of each other over the next few days due to Nigel’s inquest (amongst other things), Kenton admits he loves being with Jolene all of the time.
[Kenton] “The phone is not the same as holding you … I know we said we’d take things slowly … but when I’m around you, I’m finding it really difficult”
(“No!”, I thought to myself “is he talking about adult liaisons???”)
[Kenton] “If, or when, you feel ready to mo9ve things on. Just say.”
(“Yes … they are talking about shagging!”)
And just as Kenton is about to leave:
[Jolene] “Oh, um, Kenton … I’m ready”
Cripes! Lock your children away from the radio … it’s about to get steamy.
