Nell: I’m glad it’s Sunday. It’s been a busy old week.
Me: Don’t you all just sit around watching?
Nell: I think you’re confusing me with David.
Me: Dave’s been keeping a close eye on the Bus Stop.
Nell: Any particular reason, apart from the obvious?
Me: What is the obvious?
Nell: Spaghetti Bolognese deliveries. I presume they’re still going on.
Me: Not regularly. Stanley Smoochy has been away filming in Italy.
Nell: Filming what?
Me: A sort of travel/food show. It’s very popular.
Nell: I wouldn’t have thought people would be particularly interested in a seagull’s travels.
Me: He has a huge following in the bird community.
Nell: Each to their own. Have you had breakfast?
Me: Yes. Bacon sandwiches as it’s the weekend.
Nell: Brown, or red sauce?
Me: Brown for me, on the side.
Nell: Was the bacon crispy?
Me: Yes. Hot and sizzling.
Nell: We had pancakes with maple syrup and bacon on the top.
Me: Very North American.
Nell: Poppy’s going through a cowboy phase. We’re having cowboy beans for lunch instead of a Sunday roast with sourdough biscuits that aren’t biscuits at all.
Me: Oh dear. We’re having roast beef.
Nell: Enjoy.
Me: Why was your week busy?
Nell: Several new arrivals.
Me: Oh, anyone I know?
Nell: No. I like to be part of the general meet and greet.
Me: I thought only friends and family were there to welcome you.
Nell: One can wave from afar.
Me: I see.
Nell: It can be a little overwhelming at first so it’s important to make new Guardians feel welcome.
Me: I can imagine.
Nell: Are you ready for Sunday Songs?
Me: Of course.
Nell: Wear a hat, please.
Me: It’s not sunny.
Nell: No, but it’s Sunday. Hats must be worn.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
