Alice reading papers on wind vibration
[Chris] “Nice!”
Wonder why another mention of Jennifer “popping in”?
Seemed to spot for a while, but Alice has been making a point of mentioning that Jennifer seems to be popping by her and Chris’ quite a lot again.
Wonder why …
Mjölnir
Which is the hammer of Thor.
And Chris’ choice for the first item that he’ll make in his forge. For his wall. To replace Ronnie’s horseshoe.
[Alice] “Did I ever tell you I’ve got a thing for Viking Gods?”
Chris is also going to put runes on it: strength, luck and love.
Aw, bless him.
Though from the sounds of Alice, she doesn’t need any grand gestures to encourage her Amour.
The Echo is annoying Brian again
*sigh*
[Brian] “Who is Aidan Smith anyway … roped in as a respected authority on anaerobic systems in dairy farms … he’s not respect by me, he doesn’t know what he’s so talking about! … The wretched thing could have been dictated by Borchester Against Factory Farming!”
So Brian goes off to call wonder-PR-boy Rufus, even though it’s out of office hours. And even though Jennifer is trying to serve supper.
*sigh*
Jennifer pops in again
Here we go. The scene is set …
As Chris works on his Mjölnir, Alice watches. They’re alone.
[Alice] “I like watching you work. Getting all hot and sweaty over the anvil … in fact, I’m getting pretty hot myself …”
After Alice has made the final (and her first) mark on the Mjölnir, she and Chris get a tad steamy.
To the point where we’re subjected to a few moments of very deep breathing from Alice … does a sex scene in a forge beat a sex scene in a shower?!?
Well, it does when the mother (in-law) walks in.
[Jennifer] “Oh my goodness, you look as like you’ve been busy … but no so busy you can’t stop for champagne”
Jennifer was at home alone, feeling sorry that Alice and Chris were alone celebrating the start of Chris’ own business.
So, she thought she’d pop along to celebrate with them.
Then she notices that Alice is wearing a Blacksmith’s apron.
[Jennifer] “But, are you actually wearing anything under it darling?”
Oh, we did laugh …
Pat wants Tom to delegate
Tom’s just back from Faircastle. But he can’t even stop for a cup of tea with Pat. He’s just too busy.
Pat’s worried.
About the sheer volume of work Tom is doing, but also about Tony being left out.
[Tom] “I know but, weird thing is, I’m actually enjoying it. Understanding how all the business fit together … “
[Pat] “Poor old dad is stuck in the house … he spent his whole life being needed”
And though Tony is still needed, he doesn’t see it.
[Pat] “You dad’s a very proud man, with a lot to be proud of”
Tom concurs, and promises to think of something for Tony to do that isn’t too taxing, but (I suspect) also leaves most of the ‘power’ in his own hands.
