Second mention of silage clamp!
No idea why I get so excited about the silage clamp time of year, but I do.
Though a mention of Tony working on a tractor always sends shivers.
Ted has an impressive box
Ted took an enamel box, which he’d made. She was very impressed. Very impressed indeed.
Kathy and Pat have spotted that Peggy seems to be quite fond indeed of Ted proper, as well as Ted’s box.
Jamie has it made
Back at home with Kathy, Jamie came in late, but didn’t get shouted at … gets woken up gently by Kathy, in plenty of time for his shift at The Bull … Kathy then makes him sausages … and takes his dirty clothes away to wash them.
I hate to say it, but Jamie’s mates were right. Jamie has Kathy right where he wants her.
But has Jamie changed?
He has got Kathy pandering to him, but he also seems to be in better feckle.
Jamie sort of agreed with Kathy that he probably should have his exam schedule up somewhere in the house (which is better than just shouting).
And he told Kathy that he’d come home after his shift at The Bull to then start revising.
Cripes!
Abby is a worry
As Roy is mulling over, with Hayley, that this is his last week at Lower Loxley (after having started there as a waiter 14 years ago), this rather odd moment happened:
[Hayley] “Is Abbie alright over there? She’s not trying to eat those daisies again?”
Well! Abbie seems to be one to watch.
Jill Vs Lilian
Jill and Lilian are both standing for election (for the Parish Council).
Who would you choose? Conservatives (with a most robust capital C) or the Gin Party?
Hmmm.
AV, Ambridge style
Peggy’s chatting with Kathy about AV.
Peggy reckons she understand how it works, and isn’t sure it is a good thing.
[Peggy] “the old system seems to have done us well enough … better than some of these continental countries with all the bickering and horse trading that goes on”
(*snort* Peggy will be going on about the Colonies next!)
Kathy, on the other hand, reckons a change might be a good thing, and might make folks feel that their vote counts.
Phew! Heady times indeed.
Missing Mandisa
Here we go.
[Phoebe] “If l lived over there … we could be proper friends”
So we know Phoebe had a grand time in South Africa, but sounds like she was more fond of it than Roy and Hayley would like.
Phoebe is fixating on her new bessie mate Mandisa, who she met in South Africa, as the reason why she wants to be back in South Africa.
Phoebe can go. As long as she takes Kate with her …
Son or husband?
Is it just me, or has Kathy forgotten that Jamie is her son, not her husband?
In her speed to play nice with Jamie, Kathy sounds like she has a cheating husband to placate – along the lines of ‘as long as he comes home’ sort of nonsense.
[Kathy] “Safe subjects only … I don’t say too much that might rock the boat. So I play the doting mother. Cooking his meals, doing his washing, tidying up after him”
To be fair, Kathy does know what she sounds like, as she describes it to Pat, and she knows it’s not good for either her nor Jamie.
Must admit, I’m not fussed. As long as they don’t scream at each other.
