  • Bill goes for Hassle
  • Bert and Joe have a night in
  • David talks to Oliver than Ruth
  • Neil and Susan have a night in


Bill goes for Hassle

Bill has something to do with Hassett Lamb – and he’s seemingly given the go ahead for Pip’s celebrity lamb.

They’re also going to give her some money to get it up and running.

Well done Pip.

Still not convinced giving lamb a personality will help it sell.

Isn’t it more a case of lamb being too cute to market?


Bert and Joe have a night in

(Bert Horrbin, rather than Bert Fry that is)

They bump into each other at The Bull and Joe suggests that as Bert is home alone for the night, he might as well come over and they share some of his cider.

Bert does readily concur.

They get a bit merry.

So, of course, decide to help Neil out with the tiling …

… when they finish, all seems well.

Just a small bit of grout oozing through.

Only one cracked tile. That they managed to stick back together and get it onto the wall.

And most of the border tiles are on the right way round.

[Joe] “Near enough!”

[Bert] “Ah. Job done, as the young ‘uns say”

Neil will be pleased …


David talks to Oliver than Ruth

David calls Oliver. He says he needs a word with him, and it’s something he can’t discuss with Ruth.

Oh dear.


Neil and Susan have a night in

We eavesdrop in just as Neil and Susan are finishing their bottle.

We don’t hear much about the promised chilli (and Tracey’s kids are there asleep, so no swinging off of chandeliers!), but Susan has a surprise for Neil.

After telling Neil how lucky she is to have met him (comparing her lot to Tracey – who, though had everything she wanted when she was a child, has struggled to find her place in the “real world”, including a decent man), she takes him upstairs to show him something …

… the doll house.

Though Susan has cleaned it up, Neil still reckons Emma won’t let Keira play with it. It’s still not in a good enough “state”.

A door is off of its hinges. The lino is coming up. It’s a sad wee sight.

Though Neil has plenty on at the moment, he offers to work on it – especially as they both agree Susan isn’t good at “fiddly” (*snort*).

[Neil] “It’ll be a nice little project, once I’ve finished at your dads … the end is in sight”

Ah – spoke too early there Neil.
