Now Tom’s harassing Helen
About phoning Kylie. Which she has done, but Kylie has called back as yet.
Does that boy never learn?
Leave folks be to do their best, in their own time.
Or, do it yourself.
It’s all Greek to Helen
Kylie does call Helen back. She’s been busy getting an essay in on time. One on Greek Tragedy.
[Helen] “Gosh, that sounds pretty hard!”
Helen really does need to get out more. She’s staring to sound like a bit of a dim, as well as a dull, young lady.
Hilary Noakes’ cockatoo is feeling better.
So Jill announces.
[Jill] “I’m glad Benson is getting better … he seems to bring out her softer side”
[Christine] “You mean she’s got one?”
More farmers sign up for the badger vaccination
Seems Oliver is managing to persuade more farmers to sign up.
Good man.
Jim worries Christine
[Jim] “Hmm, what a lovely scent … it’s you Christine. It must be your perfume”
Jill concurs that Christine is wearing nice perfume. But Jim takes it further.
[Jim] “Indeed it is. Most alluring”
Over coffee and cakes, Christine is too distracted to hear Jill talking about how glad she is that Brookfield is keeping its cows.
[Christine] “It’s Jim, I’m afraid … what he said … to me … he’s complimented me before, of course, on my cooking. He’s always praised my scones …
"the problem is what he said earlier wasn’t about my cooking, was it, it was about me … Jim’s never complimented me about anything like that before …
"never on anything personal or anything that you might call womanly about me … but today saying my perfume was alluring!”
[Jill, getting excited at the prospect of a romance] “Ooh Chris!”
[Christine] “No no. It’s not good Jill. I like Jim a lot of course I do. We get on well, we’re great friends. That’s as far as it goes for me. What if he’s started getting other ideas”
Ah well done Alan! You may have got Jim to do something for lent, but it could cost Jim one of his most precious friendships.
(I know – we all know they’ll sort it out)
Kylie says yes
During their phone call, Helen tells Kylie about Tony’s heart attack. Kylie shocked and worried to hear about it.
(she is a nice lass)
[Helen] “I’ll be totally honest. What he’s been thinking about is Rich … now what’s praying on dad’s mind is he has a grandson who doesn’t even know he exists … I’m sorry to load this onto you …”
She tells Kylie that she wants to arrange for Rich to get to know his grandparents properly. Kylie is at first worried that Helen wants her to tell Rich, but Helen is merely after a face-to-face with Sharon. Which will take Kylie to help arrange.
Later to Tom:
[Helen] “She said something I hadn’t even though of. About Ivy … she only realised how sad that made her feel at Ivy’s funeral”
[Tom] “Well that’s a shame. But helpful to use, I suppose”
Indeed.
Kylie’s agreed to talk to Sharon to at least meet with Helen.

But how will Hayley react to John's son turning up? After all, she was the girl John was cheating on. But when she turned down John's proposal she did say it was because Kylie would always be between them - bet she didn't realise just true this was.
I didn;t even think about Hayley! Seems she's been playign happy families with Roy since birth.
Interesting ...
