Me: How did Dorothy and Nigel’s date go?
Nell: Extremely well. According to Dorothy, Nigel was ‘an absolute hoot’ and they had a wonderful afternoon.
Me: Good.
Nell: She says she never stopped laughing.
Me: Nigel’s awfully charming. Are they going to see each other again?
Nell: We shall see. He has her iBone number so the ball is in his paws.
Me: Look at my Big Brave Beautiful Boy. He’s exhausted.
Nell: Being Mayor of Kingsbridge is a huge responsibility for David.
Me: Except he isn’t actually the Mayor of Kingsbridge.
Nell: It’s one event after another at the moment.
Me: I know you’re ignoring me.
Nell: A Coronation party last weekend and a Eurovision this.
Me: Are we having a Eurovision party?
Nell: Why do you think the llamas are wearing lycra jumpsuits and long boots?
Me: That’s fairly standard for them. When is all this happening?
Nell: The main party is on Saturday but we’ve decided to continue the theme into Sunday as the Welsh Corgi Choir are keen to feature Eurovision hits.
Me: Good for them.
Nell: I pointed out that they might be a little tired from the night before but they’re sure they can do it.
Me: Bless them. They’re such determined little things.
Nell: And fierce too, if necessary.
Me: Really?
Nell: You know what they say.
Me: I don’t.
Nell: Never cross a corgi.
Me: I’ll remember that. Is Poppy preparing Eurovision themed food?
Nell: No. Poppy will be far too busy performing. I’ve told Malcolm that hot dogs and burgers will do.
Me: Performing?
Nell: Yes. She’s flying up to Liverpool today.
Me: Do you mean Poppy is one of the Eurovision entrants?
Nell: Don’t be ridiculous. She’s part of the sword dancing presentation team. Do keep up.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
