Me: Yesterday turned out to be a bit of a strange day.
Nell: It certainly did.
Me: The birthday part was lovely. Lots of good wishes came my way. Thank you everyone.
Nell: And people can now support us on Facebook by subscribing.
Me: Yes, the button is on the Conversations with Nell page.
Nell: You had some lovely presents and FaceTimed with Alice and the family.
Me: Faye is getting really tall.
Nell: But our trip to the river turned into a disaster.
Me: It certainly did.
Nell: I knew something was wrong when we heard that loud bang.
Me: There was a pothole in the road and it damaged the fuel tank.
Nell: Kev turned the car around and drove us straight home.
Me: We only just got there.
Nell: The AA came out and towed the car to the garage where it will remain until it can be fixed.
Me: It’s going to cost us quite a lot.
Nell: Is that why you didn’t go out to dinner?
Me: Dinner at home was absolutely lovely. We can go another time.
Nell: These things happen.
Me: Yes, they do and we still enjoyed our walk in the orchard. You dogs always make the most of it.
Nell: We were being watched while we were there.
Me: It’s a communal orchard, Nell.
Nell: Not by our neighbours.
Me: Were the llamas cartwheeling in the fields?
Nell: No, the Beefies were monitoring our every move. David spotted them at once.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: And worse than that.
Me: Worse?
Nell: They were eating scones.
Me: Scones?
Nell: You’re doing that repeating thing again.
Me: Why are scones significant?
Nell: Poppy’s recipe book is missing.
Me: And you think they stole it?
Nell: Sherlock Martin strikes again.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
