Nell: Would you like to explain yourself?
Me: I don’t know what I’ve done yet.
Nell: Harriet and David went on a long walk with Kev yesterday.
Me: They did.
Nell: Leaving me at home with you.
Me: I thought you’d like a little one-on-one time.
Nell: Try again. I wasn’t born yesterday as you’re about to point out.
Me: Fine. It’s become too tiring for you to walk very far now that you’re older, so Kev and I decided to split you up for some of your walks.
Nell: We’re a team.
Me: I know, but the puppies need a good walk. You and I can have a little amble around the orchard.
Nell: Amble around the orchard?
Me: You enjoy it.
Nell: I’ll consider it, if there’s a nice cup of Earl Grey and a scone afterwards.
Me: That’s not exactly the idea.
Nell: It’s non-negotiable.
Me: Half a scone then?
Nell: With jam and cream?
Me: Alright.
Nell: Moving on, I was Googling with Snoopy and Lucy in Canada about the animation series.
Me: I thought you Zoomed?
Nell: Zooming is very yesterday. It’s all about Google Meats nowadays.
Me: You mean Meets with an e.
Nell: I do not. Herr Hoffmann provided me with an excellent choice of German cold meats while I was Googling. Snoopy and Lucy only had hot dogs.
Me: Never mind.
Nell: One should never chat on an empty stomach.
Me: What was the meeting about?
Nell: They’re recording the demo for the animation series on Tuesday. Sunny will record it from a studio over here in the UK and Gillian will be in a studio in Vancouver.
Me: Isn’t it amazing to think two wonderful actresses will be playing us?
Nell: Personally, I would expect nothing less.
Me: Of course. Sorry.
