An oddly parked car
Has been spotted near Home Farm. In a secluded spot. So David’s been told.
The robber gang?
[Ruth] “Casing the joint, get you Kojak!”
David still hates those badgers
As the new slurry tank is being built:
[David] “All that money, just because of a few badgers!”
Aye, I’m sure they’re none too fond of you either, David … you badger murderer you …
The penny drops for David
He’s finally worked out he has three kids, but only one farm.
[David] “You know, in some ways, it would be good if she and Josh didn’t both want to work on the far … it’d be a lot easier that way … I’m just musing”
Ruth thought it sounded like David was already choosing Josh over Pip (really), and she had to remind him about Ben.
Office politics
Though Tom reckons his new office system has saved the day in cutting down the time it takes to do things, but Tony does not concur.
He reckons the old way was the better, and quicker, way.
Later after Tony has been doing some work, Tom was annoyed to find that he’d have to do it again.
As he later moaned to David:
[Tom] “It’s just so hard for him to grasp anything new … it’s just frustrating. I don’t have time to redo what he’s done”
Though David did remind him that Tony only very recently had a heart attack.
So, when Tony suggests that Tom leave the office to him, Tom isn’t that amused.
It was Jazzer wot caught him
Seems the Police found Tom’s quad because a bloke, known to them, was advertising his quad on the internet. Tom was able to identify it.
[Tom] “There was that dent on the ball bars. I’ve never been so grateful for Jazzer’s bad driving”
Peggy’s a fan of Tom’s ready meals
Ah, that’s why Tom started talking about them again the other day.
Peggy and Pat were having a chinwag about Bridge Farm, and that Tony still needs to take things easy.
Though Pat reckons something good did come out of Tony’s heart attack. Clarrie returning:
[Pat] “I’m so much happier about the dairy now that Clarrie’s back”
(Pat forgets too easily who made Clarrie not be at Home Farm for a while … Pat!)
Anyhoo, there’s no love like a grandmother’s love. She’s feeling calm about Tony being able to step back from working because he has his Tom.
Not his Helen, nor his Pat, mind. His Tom.
[Peggy] “Tony could let Tom take on more of the strategic planning of the farm … it just seems a waste of Tom’s talents to have him sitting on the tractor”
And on the ready meals:
[Peggy] “Tony seems to think it’s some kind of add on …”
Now while I can accept that Peggy thinks her grandson is wonderful – but to the point where he’s better than her son?
I hope she never says that to Tony. He’d have another heart attack.
