Eddie actually appreciates Clarrie
[Eddie] “You’d have never got through the last 30 years without a bucket full of patience!”
Clarrie and Eddie had agreed not to get each other presents. Eddie went ahead anyway, so Clarrie feels a bit sheepish that she hasn’t.
[Eddie] “You’re still here. That’s the only present I need”
Aw. Bless him.
Eddie gives Clarrie her “real” pearls that he got as a bargain.
[Eddie] “You can tell real pearls by rubbing them on your teeth”
[Clarrie] “Real pearls. They must have cost a fortune … this wasn’t some dodgy deal …”
[Eddie] “Ebay”
[Clarrie] “Never!”
[Eddie] “Lovely pearls for a lovely woman”
When they later on get to The Bull, they’re surprised by all their nearest and dearest already there, ready to party.
Actually, seems Joe’s been celebrating since lunchtime. Mike and Vicky have to sit either side, holding him up.
But not to worry. Clarrie is over the moon, especially as they put on Clarrie’s Song when she and Eddie walked in.
[Clarrie] “I can’t believe this. All these lovely people”
Susan’s siblings let her down. Again
Seems Keith and Stuart also did make her family meeting. Sot it was just her on her own. Again.
But. Susan says she’s determined that she won’t have all the responsibility of their dad (and Gary).
That’s fighting talk, that is.
A typical Susan gaff
Susan’s talking to Pat.
[Susan] “You’re not coming down the bull tonight? … but the boys have uninvited all their … friends”
Oops.
When Susan got to the word “friends”, she realised that Tony and Pat probably hadn’t been invited in the first place ….
Pat upsets Susan
[Pat to Susan] “I think there’s a distinct possibility that he might … that John might be his father”
[Susan] “No no no. Eamon is his dad, Sharon’s husband …”
But Susan does admit that she had just assumed that Eamon was Rich’s dad.
However, Susan doesn’t want to be involved. She doesn’t want to upset anyone, especially considering Kylie said that Eamon has been a father to them both.
Later on, Susan slightly changes her tune. She tells Neil what Pat had said (swearing him to secrecy) and also starts speculating.
[Susan] “The fact is Neil, it could very well be true, if you work out the dates”
Susan now wants to call Kylie to find out when Sharon and Eamon got together.
But Neil tells her not to call. He reckons Kylie is bright and will work it out.
Oh dear. Thus isn’t going to be an easy one to work out without someone somewhere getting upset.
The Milk Processing company upsets Ruth
It’s a ‘no;’ to Brookfield from the Milk processing company. They say they can’t take on any more suppliers - which irritates David as they must have known that before they asked Brookfield to pitch.
But, at least they’re ‘on file’.
[Ruth] “ I just spent a couple of days in foolish optimism”
Uh-oh. We don’t need a depressed Ruth considering the forthcoming ‘David killed Nigel’ anniversary …
But Eddie tries to cheer them. He reckons they’re better off without supermarkets.
[Eddie] “Too many farmers talking the supermarket shilling then being cut off at the knees”
After all. Look at what happened to Tom.
