Nell: Are Kev and David on the same page?
Me: What do you mean?
Nell: They’re looking in different directions.
Me: They’re checking the crops.
Nell: Are they?
Me: Yes, it’s part of their routine. They find it fascinating.
Nell: What about Harriet?
Me: She isn’t too bothered. She just loves to run.
Nell: Until she doesn’t.
Me: Then she rolls on her back in the grass.
Nell: I find it’s always good to have a little break now and again.
Me: I agree. How was your walk in the park with Charlie?
Nell: Delightful. We sat in the shade of a big oak tree and put your world to rights.
Me: You have trees?
Nell: We have everything.
Me: How was the skateboarding?
Nell: Poppy says Mutley was too reckless and she’s not taking him with her again.
Me: I find that very hard to believe.
Nell: Mutley has become quite the thrill-seeker since he became a Guardian.
Me: Gosh.
Nell: It’s Monday so what are the plans for today?
Me: I’m not a fan of Mondays, as you know, but this one is quite busy.
Nell: Why?
Me: Everyone seems to have lots to do.
Nell: What?
Me: I’m going to the gym.
Nell: Madness.
Me: For my aqua class.
Nell: Fine.
Me: Kev’s got lots of appointments in town.
Nell: Ok.
Me: Dave and Harriet are going to be busy Waiting.
Nell: For you to come back?
Me: Yes. Herr Hoffmann’s making lunch with Malcolm and Manuel.
Nell: Another salad?
Me: Tuna pasta.
Nell: I like that.
Me: I remember. And Knitwear Wolf’s doing A Popsicle Run.
Nell: A Popsicle Run?
Me: Yes. Ice lollies for the dehydrated seagulls.
Nell: You know there will be hidden Beefies amongst them, don’t you?
Me: Dehydrated is dehydrated, Nell. Sorry.
