Jem and Bella are off to the Three Counties
Josh may not have been allowed to take the day off school to go to the Three Counties, but Jem and Bella certainly are. They even had a final brush up.
Pip tackles Elizabeth
Not literally, but fair to her for having the nerve to call and then go and see Elizabeth.
Pip wanted to see if Elizabeth would still give her a job (as she promised to), and Pip was quite annoyed by Elizabeth for not sending Ruth a birthday card.
Elizabeth was really happy to hear from and see Pip. She claimed she’s forgotten all about arranging a job for Pip – Elizabeth reckoned, in her head, it was already arranged.
So no problem there. Pip headed off to speak with Lorna, and the job is arranged.
Pip gets a text from her folks about the Three Counties, so then uses it as an in to mention that it was Ruth’s birthday yesterday. Elizabeth responds that she hopes Ruth had a nice day:
[Ruth] “She did, except, well, she didn’t get a card from you”
Elizabeth at first tries to claim bad memory again, but soon admits that she hadn’t just forgot.
[Pip] “You really did it on purpose!”
[Elizabeth] “Not exactly Pip. I just couldn’t send her one … this thing with your father. It goes deep. Very deep. I’m sorry”
[Pip] “Well, mum was sorry too. I just though you should know”
Good on you Pip for standing up to Elizabeth.
Maybe if more folks did, Elizabeth wouldn’t be getting away which such senseless and hurtful behaviour.
A watched inbox never receives email
Brian’s up early, anxiously waiting for email from council about whether the supermarket wants to go ahead with the old Mart site.
Not sure why Brian thinks that any council worker is working before 10am (flexi time means they sometimes stay late, but never early).
He’s hoping beyond hope that the supermarket has found a better place to build – he’s still not convinced that this plan is a good one.
But alas.
For once – it’s actually a “all systems go” from the Council
Jennifer still can’t read
Despite staying up all night, Jennifer is still no further on with Mistress of the Paddocks.
This is all very odd.
I’m back to thinking it is one of hers.
Brian’s lost his appetite?
Brian reckons that Zofia has got “mesmerising blue eyes”.
Just the eyes?
Brian must be slowly up if he judges a woman by her eyes …
He isn’t too impressed by Jazzer and Harry’s desperate plans to try and get her attention.
[Brian] “I’m sure she can do better ...”
And for once, he didn’t mean that he would be “better”.
Sex and the Strawberries
[Brian] “How are things up at Sex and the Strawberries … no pistols at dawn in the poly tunnels?”
Adam was worried that Jazzer and Harry’s jostling for Zofia would result in a bill for damages from the Pottery.
But it would seem that all was very sedate, as Zofia spent most of the time looking after her sick mate.
Regional forums and zero grazing
David’s having a grand old time at the Three Counties.
Lots of food for thought (well, cattle becoming food for thought), and he’s feeling refreshed for getting away from home.
[David] “It’s good to get away, it gets you a different perspective on things”
And not just the farm.
He apologises to Ruth for Elizabeth for not sending her a birthday card. Not that it’s his fault – but he’s sorry for the situation which has meant Elizabeth is being so obstinate.
[Ruth] “Elizabeth has this completely out of proportion”
Well, not exactly, Ruth.
In Elizabeth’s mind, David killed Nigel.
So not sending his wife a birthday card would be well within proportion, I would say.
Aw, that’s a shame
Despite Jem and Bella looking “beautiful”, they didn’t win anything.
Seemingly the competition was too strong.
Josh will be upset, but I doubt Jem and Bella will be bothered.
After all, a day out from the field is a day out from the field.
