Susan’s making a list
And will be checking it twice, you can bet.
Which Clarrie seems quite happy to just follow, and be told what’s what.
Which is fair enough. Why try make an extra effort when someone else is doing to do the work for you?
This christening should be (*should* be, please note) a doddle.
Alf Grundy returns!
Also called Alfie by some (not to be confused with Vicky’s ill-fated dairy bull calf).
Eddie’s brother. Joe’s eldest. And a bit of a bad ‘un.
The distinction is that while Joe and Eddie are mere rogues (they rip people off, but they do it with a cheeky grin), Alf is a proper criminal (rips people off with a scowl). He even stole from Eddie once.
Not sure how long it’s been since Alf was around – but Susan is not too happy to hear that he’s due back in Ambridge for Keira’s christening.
[Clarrie] “You know Alfie – if there’s a bit of free nosh going”
Later on, to Neil, Susan hopes that Alf isn’t back on the cider.
This christening should be interesting after all.
Wondering if the Aldridge’s are invited? Susan will have apoplexy …
We all know what happens when reparations are demanded …
… knackered economy, high inflation, high unemployed, widespread dissatisfaction, anger, hatred, Hitler and World Wars.
Funny that Steve and Marty have to pay them back. I’d have thought the powers that be would have had a far more fluffy and inclusive terms for (what sounds like) community service.
They might also have to do guidance and counselling – and Pip was a bit taken aback that Steve has been grounded.
[Pip] “Wow!”
Eh? Surely a basic, in these circumstances?
Spencer takes Pip for a ride on his big monster
I know … childish and obvious, but I couldn’t resist ;)
Spencer’s stressed out, so Pip pops over to chum him out for a ride on the combine.
Pip is most suitably impressed with his combine. It seemingly has a setting for tailings (the ears that weren’t fully threshed the first time, so get put back through again), and a whole 9 different crop settings that can be customised. Amongst many other things.
[Pip] “You really think you’re Mr Cool, sat up here on your monster machine”
Spencer quite sensibly refuses Pip when she asks to have a go at driving. She’s obviously far too excited, and doesn’t she remember what happens when unauthorised persons are allowed to drive farm equipment (Jude and the quad bike).
AND A GOAT!
Neil’s been very quiet of late.
First moment he gets near the secret microphone, Emma talks him into making George’s troll scarecrow for them. She claims she’s too busy (again), but also makes it slightly obvious that she wants a scarecrow better than she and Ed could scare up.
(see what I did there?)
BUT – not only does she want better – she was wants a troll AND a goat.
[Neil] “Well, a troll’s one thing … a goat!”
Yes Neil – A GOAT!!!
[Emma] “It’s got to be the best mum. George has set his heart on it”
[Neil] “I can bend him anyway you want”
Well, steady on there Neil. Tis only a village competition.
Pip’s disappointed in David
[Spencer] “Plain safe”
[Pip] “Plain chicken … if you’re going to succeed in this business you’ve got to be prepared to take a risk”
Hark at her! One terms with a side order of Business Studies (failed the first time), Pip think she’s knows all.
Spencer’s a sensitive young chap
The situation with at Spencer’s home (Steve being in trouble, his dad furious and his mum crying) is bad enough – but bless wee Spencer. He’s also worried about what Pip’s folks will think of him.
After all, they did hate Jude.
[Pip] “No matter what anyone else thinks, I ;love you just the same. And that’s all that matters.”
So it’s love.
Aw.
