Pip’ll be serving burgers at the Beacon
Well, that’s one way to celebrate the Jubilee, I suppose. Though, as Pip points out, she does get paid for being at something she would have gone to anyway.
Darrington won
Seems Ambridge got a “respectable” 180, but they were “chasing” 214.
From the way David told it, I assume that’s particularly bad?
Usha shouts at Amy
It’s about time!
Amy wanted to put something into the wash. Usha already had something in, but offered to out Amy’s on after. Amy says no, and wants to tale her clothes back.
[Usha] “Oh Amy, that’s ridiculous”
[Amy] “I don’t need you to do my washing, okay!”
[Usha, losing patience] “Right how long are you going to keep this up?”
Usha tells Amy that she’s the one tearing Alan apart. He builds the bridge, she smashes them down. Usha was especially angry about the effort Alan went to the other night when he cooked Amy’s favourite curry (a recipe of Mabel’s). Amy claims she did have some:
[Usha] “Yeah, skulking round the kitchen when we were gone, like a teenager”
[Amy] “He didn’t say you’d be there …”
[Usha] “I’M HIS WIFE, WHERE ELSE WOULD I BE? I LIVE HERE. He went to so much trouble ... poor Alan”
[Amy] “You've always had your own agenda, all that I'm your stepmother stuff, it was always a sham”
[Usha] “You don’t really believe that”
[Amy] “Don't I?”
Och Amy – go boil yer heid!
Tony’s made sandwiches
[Tom] “Oh, blimey!”
Tony making lunch is not a common occurrence.
And we find out why – he’s made a beef and avocado, plus brie and mushroom.
Odd. Tom chooses the brie and mushroom, but then wants to put ketchup on it.
Ach, pick the mushroom out ya fussy lad!
Ruth has a panic button
And now even locks the door behind her.
Pondering how they will run Open Farm Sunday while being on such high alert. Their only answer is to keep everything locked, and make the tour shorter.
Cancel it would be safer, surely?
Tony’s hired an aging rocker called Trevor
Tony’s on fire today!
First the sandwiches, now he’s actually hired in someone to help with the milking.
It’s a bloke called Trevor. Who is in a band. But is “no spring chicken” (according to Pat, who hasn’t met him yet).
Trevor will work 5 days a week, 1 weekend a month, covering the afternoon milking. Trevor used to have his own herd and though he doesn’t miss the morning milking, he’s looking forward to working again (him and his wife also need the cash).
[Tom] “An old rocker, keeping his hand in eh. I bet he's got a ponytail!”
Tony’s seemingly most pleased with himself.
What’s wrong with a Vintage Sunbeam?
Trevor owns one, which made Tom groan.
Worried about Trevor and Tony spending hours just gazing at it?
The sausage game
[Ben] “Mum, dad can we play sausages?”
They said yes. Here it is:
[Ben] “Mum, what did you brush your teeth with today?”
[Ruth] “Sausages”
[Ben] “Pip, what does Spencer wear on his feet?”
[Pip] “Sausages”
[Ben] “Dad, what do you cut your hair with?”
[David, laughing] “Sausages”
Aha – David lost! You’re not supposed to laugh.
His forfeit (set by Ben) was to get under the table - then bark like a dog.
Though Ruth had the last word:
[Ruth] “What's Tom's only topic of conversation?”
All together now … Sausages!
