Positive vibes about Open Farm Sunday
David, Ruth and their brood were getting ready for Open Farm
Sunday. They decided to go ahead, despite the gang and their sneaky threats.
Actually, David and Ruth sounded quite excited.
They have a grand all time looking at the photos Josh has
arranged to be displayed. Rather than use the same ones as last year (as Pip
wanted), he’s gone back through all of their photos to get those memory lane
types.
[Ruth] “Suddenly I’m beginning to appreciate how many adventures we’ve had here … Brookfield’s magic moments.”[Pip, still put out the photos weren’t her idea] “According to Josh!”
For the bid day itself:
[Pip] “You never know, the best of Ambridge might turn up.”[David] “Well that would be competition for Bert”
While they’re all being so positive, David also announces he’s
booked them a table at The Bull on Saturday to take a break from all their
planning, and celebrate Ruth’s birthday (which actually sounded very much like
a second thought!).
[David] “Are you happy?”[Ruth] “Very. I’m glad we didn’t back out. Feels so good when we all come together.”[David] “You know, I’ve got an inkling Sunday’s going to be a day to remember.”
Hmmm.
We all know that it’s likely to be remembered for all the
wrong reasons.
Chris can’t get into his own toilet
When Amy stormed out of the vicarage, she went to Alice and
Chris’.
Chris is not amused. He was already irritated that Amy was
always over, and now he hasn’t been able to get into his bathroom for 25
minutes!
[Alice] “Yeah, well it’s different for girls.”
Alice told Amy that she could stay. For a “while”.
[Chris] “How long is a while?”
Later on, Alice missed a wind vibration experiment because
she was with Amy. Again.
Alice’s point is that Amy is in a very bad way. Amy isn’t
sleeping or eating. As Amy’s friend, Alice has to help. That Amy was
(unwittingly) having an affair with a married man is also something obvious
very close to Alice’s home (having Brian as a father).
[Alice] “I just want to protect her.”[Chris] “You can’t though … she’s just got to work through it, move on.”
So – Alice’s plan H is to try and get Amy and Carl to meet
up again, so that Amy can see for herself how much of a “loser” Carl is.
Maybe then, Amy can move on.
Here’s hoping (for all our sakes).
Matt appreciates Darrell
It would seem so.
Matt called Darrell into the office. Darrell was worried
that Matt was about to sack him. That Matt had just been shouting at someone
else on the phone didn’t help matters:
[Matt] “Sometimes you just have to be cruel to be kind in business .. .sometimes you just have to be cruel!”
But Darrell needed have worried. Matt had only good news for
him – he’s been promoted to site manager.
[Darrell] “Seriously?”[Matt] “I’m not really in a joking mood today.”
What’s more, Darrell’s position was to be formal and “above
board”.
[Matt] “And if you accept, I do hope we can continue to develop a fruitful working relationship. If that doesn’t sound top slushy. So, what you do you say?”[Darrell] “Erm, I do!”
Matt then wants to take Darrell for another pint, despite
there still being work to be done.
What’s going on? Why the nice guy act from Matt? He’s surely
up to something.
Brookfield had chilli and rice
Cooked by Ruth.
I really am obsessed about Ruth’s cooking. It is always a
shock when you don’t hear the ping of a microwave in the background …
