Me: You look tired.
Nell: I’ve just seen the video.
Me: Did Our Penguin manage to get onto Drake’s Island disguised as a puffin?
Nell: Yes, but unfortunately it was raining so his beak started to lose colour and go rather floppy.
Me: Did anyone notice?
Nell: Yes, so he told them to keep their distance as he had Rotting Beak.
Me: Clever. Was the Sea Rescue team nonchalantly circling the island?
Nell: I’m afraid the larger animals weren’t nonchalant at all. I don’t know why Alejandro said he could sail.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: Gladys had to climb into the crow’s nest because it was so rainy they couldn’t see.
Me: Wasn’t the crow part of the Air Rescue team?
Nell: It’s not a real crow’s nest. They shouldn’t have taken the llamas with them, of course.
Me: Why?
Nell: Everyone knows llamas are useless at sea. Anyway, the next thing we see is Benjamin in some kind of tussle with Stephen Seagull.
Me: Was Benjamin fighting him?
Nell: Not intentionally but apparently a loose thread from his tank top got caught on Stephen’s stick and when he tried to pull it free Stephen fell over.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: Stephen tore off his eye patch and started attacking Benjamin.
Me: Shocking.
Nell: That’s when Air Rescue got involved.
Me: How?
Nell: The Albatross caused a diversion and David intervened.
Me: Dave?
Nell: Yes. Beefies are terrified of Albatrosses so they flew for cover.
Me: Cowardly rascals.
Nell: Poppy was able to lower David onto the island from her helicopter. He scooped up Benjamin and Henry and she flew them all to safety.
Me: Gosh. I’m exhausted just hearing about it.
Nell: Well, don’t be. It’s Kev’s birthday tomorrow and we’ve got a party to organise.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
