Seriously, sandwiches was as exciting as it got!
[Elona] “The salami’s off, you’re having ham … you may not care what you’re having in your sandwiches, but I do.”
And there. Ladies and gentleman, was the highlight from today’s Ambridge.
Elona was making Darrell’s sandwiches, but Darrell was distracted by thoughts of Bernie (the bloke who’s selling him and Matt knock off kitchen furniture, and the like).
Makes it worse that Elona is very glad Matt is being “fair” with Darrell. Paying him formally. And being generous with a “bonus”. She’s delighted the bonus has meant Anna can get a keyboard. Later on, after Anna got her keyboard, she says she also now wants piano lessons.
All of which adds pressure onto Darrell. Who knows that Matt isn’t exactly on the level.
Jennifer approves of Phoebe’s new room
She thinks it’s very pretty and grown up.
Phew!
Hayley must be so relieved …
Sobbing in the Tucker household
Seems Abbie was sobbing all night about Phoebe not coming home.
And Vicky’s also upset. It’s put a right damper on her and Mike’s anniversary plans.
Though Phoebe sent Hayley something that sounded like a musical text with a message on it (couldn’t tell you exactly what, though) saying she loved her, Hayley wasn’t exactly cheered.
We left Ambridge this evening listening to Hayley playing the text back, laughing, then crying.
Brian to evict the swifts?
Brian’s been given first option on buying Valley Farm.
That’s the farm he wants to turn into accommodation for the Super Dairy workers. And the one which is currently home to some swifts.
[Brian] “Seems the owner got pestered by BAFF at a farmer’s market … that rabid Hattie person probably. Bet she unloved as a child …”
[Jennifer] “Oh Brian!”
[Brian] “Come on Jenny, they’re just attention seekers … they’ve started to believe their own publicity … that everyone agrees with them. There’s nothing worse than arrogance, is there?”
[Jennifer] “Well …”
[Brian] “The good thing is that it’s all starting to backfire … got right up his nose, suddenly he’s offering it at a very fair price.”
Ah – so Hattie has unwittingly helped Brian, and damned the swifts.
Funny Jennifer hasn’t mentioned them again. So was so adamant Brian couldn’t evict them.
Maybe she’s saving that as a round 2 argument.
Brian on the fiddle?
Possibly so.
Gerry has asked to see the contract between Home Farm and BL for the arable part of the Super Dairy.
Annabelle seems deeply concerned he’s looking into it. Brian doesn’t seem to give a hoot. He reckons Home Farm got the job after tendering.
[Brian] “I’m completely bomb proof on this one”
Hmm.
Odd that Brian never seems to listen to Annabelle. She’s more than often right.
Maybe the Super Dairy will still be scuppered, from the inside.
