Benjamin was well behaved … then not
Benjamin and Shula are back at St Stephen’s for Palm Sunday.
(Benjamin is Shula’s donkey, generally only making an appearance in Ambridge at Palm Sunday).
He was very well behaved at first.
But later “went for” Pat Fletcher’s hat.
Seems she goes purple when she’s upset …
Shula later tells Jill that she thinks it was Pat Fletcher’s fault for flapping her hat about in the first place.
(mais non – if Pat Fletcher said no, she said no!)
By the by – we had the first mention of someone acknowledging that Shula has been in Ste Stephens more often than not recently. Jill said it was nice to see her back, though Shula did make mention that she’d be going elsewhere for the Easter walk.
Why do the arks need moved again?
Jazzer’s back (well, back near the secret microphones), and is moaning that the rain means all of the pigs need fresh straw.
AND the arks need moved. Again.
Is that normal pig management behaviour? To keep moving the arks?
Jazzer damaged the bull bar
Of Tom’s quad bike.
[Jazzer] “90% of it was doon to the gatepost, It was in the wrang place!”
[Tom] “Next to the gate!”
But not to worry. Though Tom wants Jazzer to do extra shifts for him, they’re not as punishment – Tom will pay extra. He’s just that busy.
[Jazzer] “Hold on, let me do my concerned face …”
Janine is the new lady in Jazzer’s life
[Jazzer] “I telt Janine, if she serves Tom Archer pork, we’re done before we’re started!”
Ooh.
I know Jazzer is a cheeky monkey, but not a clever thing to say to one’s boss.
Christening a Forge
Are what Chris and Alice intend to do on Thursday – the day that Chris gets ownership of the forge.
He’ll make his first piece of work in his own place, glass of wine, then a meal out.
Alice is keen for Amy to come. With Carl.
The truth about Amy and Carl
Alice is obsessed with wanting to meet Amy’s new love interest, Carl. Alan is also dropping hints.
So to get Alice off of her back, Amy explains all.
It’s quite simple, really. She just wants to take it slow with Carl.
[Amy] “This feels, special. I don’t want to wreck it”
[Alice] “You won’t. Carl is a very lucky guy. Have some faith in yourself”
But that’s exactly what Amy doesn’t have bags and bags of (faith in herself).
Amy tells Alice about her “mood” over Christmas because of what Alan had found out about her mum.
[Amy] “Dad found out that mum had been to prison … a secure children’s home … she stabbed someone when she was a kid … I’d always though mum was like, fantastic, then suddenly she wasn’t like that anymore … the worse thing was, the way I was feeling, it kinda made sense … I couldn’t work out why I do certain things, you know I have a really short temper … what I thought was that if mum could stab someone, maybe here’s some of that in me as well … so disgusted, I really did hate myself …”
Amy explains that her mum’s attack had happened because of constant racist abuse.
[Amy] “Just because I get angry sometimes, doesn’t mean I’m an awful person. Mum was a decent person, I shouldn't have doubted her … if someone like him thinks I’m okay, then I must be … I’m putting all that daft stuff behind me, but only one step at a time”
So – Amy wants to keep Carl away from her nearest and dearest because she’s still slightly worried she’s not a good ‘un?
I don’t see the sense in that.
Surely meeting the lovely Alan and co would only prove that she is?
Or does Amy just really (really) want to keep Carl away from Ambridge?
Jolene wants everyone in the car park
Steady on! I thought she was committed to our Kenton.
I jest.
Jolene wants everyone in The Bull’s car park for the flyover photo session by James and Leonie. Jazzer reckons she even wants them to make a shape like a bull’s horns.
[Jazzer] “that’s if that chinless wonder managed to point the camera the right way”
Though Tom reckons James is not an idiot:
[Jazzer] “Could pass for one in an emergency”
Jolene even wants her regulars to practise, as the photo could go down in history.
Hmmm.
Harry had to check his cereal
For booby traps.
[Jazzer] “Just cause it’s April the first, he assumes I’m gonnae act like some kind of kid!”
[Tom] “What did you actually do?”
[Jazzer] “Itching powder in his cycling shorts”
[Tom] “Excellent”
Jennifer is still “popping in”
To Alice and Chris’.
And it’s still irritating Alice that she does so.
[Amy] “It’s nice that she likes spending time with you”
Alice reckons that it’s more to do with Jennifer wanting to get away from Brian while he’s so stressed and preoccupied with the Super Dairy planning meeting (two weeks away).
