Tracey is a dirty stop out … at her dad’s

Aye, think Tracey missed the point there.

Tracey was out with her mate Marlene, who had been chucked out by her bloke because she’d trashed his fishing gear.

[Neil] “Well I’m not surprised!”

[Tracey] “She only did it because he wasn’t really going fishing, he was seeing this slapper from the tanning salon”

So TLC turned into cocktails, and Tracey crashed with Marlene at Bert’s. leaving her kids at Susan and Neil’s.

Well, she did text. Though Susan had to miss church because of having to sit Tracey’s kids.

[Tracey] “Won’t hurt once in a while”

You wouldn’t spot that Tracey is a Horrobin, would you?


Phew – Tony had a spare shackle link

Thank goodness for that.

Though why either he or Pat were grateful to Tom for helping Tony fix the trailer is beyond me.

Tom broke it in the first place.

And he only fixed what he broke in the first place was because of Helen telling him to go easy on Tony.


Interesting NFU initiative

Is to get more seasonal fruit and veg into the local markets, so says David (to Pat and Tony).

Pat seems quite enthusiastic.

[Pat] “We need to break down this idea that you’ve got to have everything all year round”

Doom and gloom Tony thinks folks will never catch on what seasonal means.

But Tom is a bit more positive, he reckons that folks will respond to have a break from things (so they enjoy them more when they can get them again), and Pat points out that seasonal means better quality.



Pip’s 19 on Friday

Blimey.


Tony and David have a (morose) swift one

They’re going down the pub …

… but it doesn’t lift their spirits. They’re both feeling a bit “challenged”.

[Tony] “Challenging? Isn’t that was they say when they mean disaster”

[David] “It’s an unmitigated challenge”


The New Zealand system

Is what David is now pondering.

Something about outdoor lambing.

Ruth will be pleased … it has nowt to do with cows.

Though I did learn today that mixed farming does not mean breeding cows with lambs.

That’s not possible, so it seems.


Kim Kardashian

Who?

Tracey reckons she was distracted when this Kim Kardashian come on the telly – Tracey then didn't hear what Susan was saying about Kylie coming back down.

In fact, Tracey seemed a bit over keen to get in touch with Kylie.

Why is that then?
