Me: I hope Dave isn’t hearing Sally all the time.
Nell: I’m sure he isn’t.
Me: He seemed to enjoy his walk.
Nell: We all did.
Me: Do you think Sally will be at Sunday Songs?
Nell: I already told you, nobody knows where she is.
Me: Rumour has it the Beefy Choir are performing ‘Gulls Just Wanna Have Fun’,
Nell: Very funny.
Me: Just trying to lighten the mood. You seem distracted.
Nell: I’m trying to listen to Poppy, if you must know. She has a message from The Great Mutliano.
Me: How wonderful. I wonder what Mutley has to say?
Nell: I could tell you if you stopped talking.
Me: Do you realise we have a lot of new followers who never knew Mutley, or his alter ego The Great Mutliano?
Nell: Some may not even know Poppy.
Me: What a sad thought.
Nell: Fortunately, Poppy and Mutley will always live on in your book.
Me: And in our hearts.
Nell: And ears, in my case.
Me: Do you remember when The Great Mutliano saved us all from being hypnotised?
Nell: Funny you should say that.
Me: Why?
Nell: His message is: ‘Beware of Sven Gully’.
Me: Sven Gully the evil hypnotising seagull?
Nell: Yes.
Me: The one that made you be nice to me?
Nell: I beg your pardon?
Me: You agreed with everything I said. It was awfully strange.
Nell: Mutley thinks Sven Gully might be around.
Me: Do you think he’s hypnotised Dave?
Nell: I don’t know, but we should all definitely avoid looking at the sky.
Me: But everyone’s been looking at the sky in the past few days, Nell.
Nell: Why?
Me: We’ve been hoping to see the Northern Lights.
Nell: Well, stop. And don’t go anywhere without your sunglasses.
Me: Right. Sorry.
