Me: That was a lovely walk to our beach, wasn’t it? You thoroughly enjoyed yourself.
Nell: There were too many people for my liking.
Me: There were hardly any people on our walk. They were all down on the beach not up on the cliffs.
Nell: I prefer it when it’s quieter. The car park was ever so busy. Cars everywhere.
Me: It’s still holiday time, Nell. The beach is for sharing.
Nell: Like toast?
Me: Are you talking about my breakfast?
Nell: Just saying.
Me: I’m never going to be able to enjoy a meal without being watched.
Nell: You’d miss us if we weren’t there. And we’re only being Supportive.
Me: You’re right. I would.
Nell: Did you see the Daily Growl, by the way?
Me: No, I haven’t looked at it yet.
Nell: There’s a whole feature on Lionel King.
Me: Really?
Nell: Look. ‘Handsome entrepreneur Mr Lionel King rescues drowning corgi choir in wedding disaster.’
Me: Lionel’s not an entrepreneur and where did they get those photos?
Nell: They look like Beefy footage to me.
Me: Beefy footage?
Nell: Yes. According to Terry the Beefies have expanded Call a Beefy to include an aerial photo service.
Me: Using drones?
Nell: No. Using Beefies with head cameras.
Me: So, that’s what they are.
Nell: What do you mean?
Me: I noticed some of them were wearing hats but I thought it was a fashion statement.
Nell: Where?
Me: Down on the beach and there might have been a few hovering over the fields when Gladys and the llamas were gliding this morning.
Nell: Gladys won’t like that. It’ll be all over YouChewed in a twinkling and Our Penguin has the video rights.
Me: Did you say ‘in a twinkling’?
Nell: What’s wrong with that?
Me: Nothing. Sorry.
