Me: Do you know where Dave and Nigel are? Gladys was looking for them.
Nell: They’re in the living room playing Bitey Faces. Why does Gladys need to talk to them?
Me: They didn’t join in Glide with Gladys this morning even though they booked.
Nell: Will there be a cancellation fee to pay?
Me: I’m not sure, but Gladys isn’t best pleased.
Nell: I’ve noticed those two can be extremely naughty when they get together.
Me: I know what you mean.
Nell: David has a wild side which comes out when he’s with Nigel.
Me: I wouldn’t call it a wild side. My darling Big Brave Beautiful Boy can just be a little boisterous at times.
Nell: They were breakdancing in the garden.
Me: Were they?
Nell: And rapping with the farm dogs.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: On a Sunday.
Me: Gosh.
Nell: It simply won’t do.
Me: The farm dogs are going to miss Dave when we move.
Nell: One in particular is going to miss Harriet more.
Me: I don’t like to think of Harriet and Jim the Farm Dog having to part.
Nell: Jim says it’s only a tractor ride away but it’s more than that.
Me: It is a few miles.
Nell: It’s the fact that Jim won’t be living next door. Harriet can’t look out of the window and watch him walking the fields.
Me: I wish he could find a job in the village. Surely someone needs a capable farm dog?
Nell: Maybe. It’s something we could look into when we move.
Me: I’d better tell those two naughty boys to go and apologise to Gladys and the llamas for missing their exercise class.
Nell: Don’t you dare give them any treats until they do. I know what you’re like.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
