Bit of a snooze day 13.02.12

The Archers Monday 13th February 2012

  • What film wouldn’t Ruth have liked?
  • Tom has broken a cow
  • A feature of oil and vinegars
  • Brenda helps cooks tatties and has some non-British wine
  • Proper sleeves on asparagus
  • Tom’s spicy meatballs are bland
  • Josh wants to be a dairy farmer
  • Will Grundy offers mole trapping
  • Sabrina Thwaite’s desperate for Harry
  • Now they’re going to write a letter!


What film wouldn’t Ruth have liked?

But Josh really enjoyed as a wee half term treat.

(seriously – very slow day. That was the biggest question of the lot!)



Tom has broken a cow

Idiot.

He finally does a milking shift, and comes back saying cow 373 looks lame.

A feature of oil and vinegars

Is the most exciting thing Helen had to say today.

She’s going to make a feature of oils and vinegars, teaming them up with herbs and mustards.

Heady times …


Brenda helps cooks tatties and has some non-British wine

I was losing the will to live …


Proper sleeves on asparagus

Gets a premium of 50p-60p, so it seems.

But organic status doesn’t really fetch much up.

[Tom] “It’s premium products and local … we’ve got to deal with the world as it is, mum”

Tom’s spicy meatballs are bland

Which woke me up a bit.

Ha!


Josh wants to be a dairy farmer

He was talking about how kids should follow their parents’ job.

[Josh] “It’s nice if you do though. Sort of feels right”

Ruth didn’t say anything about Brookfield possibly not having a dairy herd.


Will Grundy offers mole trapping

(for the Promise Auction)

Which is as functional and ordinary as it sounds.


Sabrina Thwaite’s desperate for Harry

Though it’s Brenda who can’t seem to shut up about bidding form him in the promise Auction.

She’s being very saucy indeed. She was saying that you get 4 hours of Harry’s time:

[Brenda] “As long as it’s in the garden …”

Well, living with Tom is bound to make a girl wander eventually!

Pat tells her that Sabrina is also going to bid:

[Pat] “Willing to pay handsomely”

[Brenda] “I’ve got no chance have I? She’s got loads of money!”

[Pat] “She’s desperate …”

Which Pat changes to “determined” after Brenda guffaws.

And what would David say to Harry sweating away in his garden? Ruth reckons not much. He’d just be glad someone was doing it.


Now they’re going to write a letter!

Guerrilla warfare indeed from Ruth, Pat and (now) Brenda.

The online petition is 3 figures, and they’re also now going to write to all of the Councillors on the planning committee.

Though Pat is worried that Debbie might join the affray.

Sounds like Pat and Ruth will also get to talk to the Parish Council alongside BL, and they’d really prefer it if it was just Brian presenting:

[Pat] “You know how Brian can have that attitude …”

[Ruth] “You silly little thing, you just don’t understand”

[Pat] “That might play right into our hands”

But, they both reckon Debbie would do far better in winning folks round.

So they’re going to use an Adam strategy.

Though they won’t outright ask Adam to support them:

[Pat] “Much as I’d like to rub Brian’s nose into it …”

They will at least mention how the Super Dairy divided Brian’s family, while Pat “strongly encourages” Adam.

Tough action indeed.
