A cow has a grass seed in her eye
But Alistair gets it out for her.
It had gone “pretty deep” into conjunctival sac, which meant Alistair had to use forceps.
Ouch.
Jamie’s gone walkabout
Kathy’s on the hunt for Jamie as he didn’t turn up for his RE exam.
(if you listened to today’s Ambridge Extra, you’d know he was stressed before it, and thinking a lot about his dad).
[Ruth] “Well, it’s not as if it’s English or Maths”
Nice Ruth. Very nice, comforting advice.
Kathy eventually found Jamie at the cricket pavilion.
And Jamie broke down and cried. (must admit I had a wee tear in my eye when I heard him doing so)
[Jamie] “We could have done so much together …”
[Kathy] “Yes, you could. You shouldn’t have lost him like that … No-one could have loved you more”
[Jamie] “I still miss him so much”
[Kathy] “You’re not on your own, love”
It sounded like he might have listened, and actually heard Kathy.
He even thought it would be good for Kathy to take him to school tomorrow.
The rehabilitation of Jamie continues …
Cuts to the bus service
Seemingly Jim is registering concern, on behalf of the Parish Council, about the potential forthcoming cuts to the bus service.
Shula and Alistair are talking about it, and are quite indignant. Even though they never use the buses.
[Shula] “It’s the thin end of the wedge … and I am allowed to feel outraged on others’ behalf?”
Quite right too.
I live in a rural area. My village only has one bus an hour, and it tends to not link up with any other bus times to actually get you where you want to go. I do have a van, but know of many others who rely on the buses – and when the poo hits the fan with the van, without the bus, I’d have an hour and a half walk into the nearest bit of civilisation.
Cuts to the bus service in rural areas? Good god no! Pick on urban areas for once .
A fly in the butter
Well, nearly.
[Shula to Alistair] “Oh, put the lid on the butter love, there’s a fly buzzing round”
Elizabeth was rude to Jill!
How very, very dare she!
Jill had only been trying to help out with the Twins, according to Elizabeth.
[Shula] “It’s like she’s closed ranks with the children and shut the rest of us out … it’s back to square one, she’s acting like she’s invulnerable”
Shula missed Phil (who might have been able to talk some sense into Elizabeth), and isn’t so sure that all will be well, one day.
Tigg only sleeps outside …
… so spends the rest of his time inside (when he’s not being trained).
Wonder if Tigg will ever become ‘just’ a working dog.
Sweet peas on Nigel’s grave
Shula and Jill put some sweet peas on Nigel’s grave, which was a nice touch.
There were also flowers already there. From Elizabeth?
David looking forward to the Three Counties
And will even stay there for the full three days.
[Ruth] “It will be a complete rest for him kipping two nights in a livestock trailer”
David did actually sound a lot chirpier. He was even talking about Phil, and how he managed Hereford’s for Fairbrother.
There’s a point.
Phil managed to ‘get over’ Grace, as Elizabeth will ‘get over’ Nigel?
Josh films the cows being shampooed
And David is his rather unwilling co-subject.
Each to their own, I suppose.
Josh then said ‘laters’ when he was heading off - which David takes the Michael out of him for doing.
Which is exactly what I’ve been doing with the youf language over on Ambridge Extra.
Good god.
Ambridge Extra has made me think like David …
Alistair hands out dead dogs’ toys
Which is a bit spooky and sad – but better that than the toys never get played with. Especially as Alistair gets so many of them from grieving dog owners.
