Nell: Naughty Nigel is not playing ‘Cheeky Animals’ properly.
Me: What’s he doing wrong?
Nell: He’s supposed to secretly stick his tongue out quickly without the other player noticing, not leave it hanging out while closing his eyes. How’s he going to see what anyone else is doing?
Me: Did you tell him?
Nell: Yes, and he said ‘Cheeky Animal’ and looked away.
Me: Maybe he’s playing a new version?
Nell: There isn’t a new version.
Me: There might be. I’m going to call it ‘Nigel’s Version’.
Nell: It will never catch on.
Me: Wait and see.
Nell: Moving on, Sunday Songs is all about Looking Forward today.
Me: That’s nice.
Nell: Everyone’s been told that we’re probably moving to The House on the Corner next month and some of them haven’t taken it very well.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: Llamas faint at the drop of a hat so there’s nothing unexpected about that, but several members of the Welsh Corgi Choir are really quite distressed and have discarded their bonnets.
Me: Oh no.
Nell: The good news, however, is the Royal Owl Force found a recreation ground in the village.
Me: Why are they involved?
Nell: They have a better overview of the situation. Do keep up.
Me: I see.
Nell: There is plenty of room for Sunday Songs and Glide with Gladys.
Me: What a relief.
Nell: Quite.
Me: I hope the village can cope with us all.
Nell: What’s that supposed to mean?
Me: They might not be used to llamas cartwheeling and corgis singing, not to mention the Whippets Institute Big Band.
Nell: They’ll get used to it. Don’t you worry. Wait until they try Herr Hoffmann’s freshly baked rolls.
Me: Are we inviting the whole village to breakfast?
Nell: Only on Sundays.
Me: Right. Sorry.
