A Busy Sunday

Nell: Is that a deer?

Me: Yes. Dave and Harriet met it on their evening walk.

Nell: Are they playing Cowardy Custard?

Me: The game Dave plays with Walter Pigeon where you lose if you’re the first one to look away?

Nell: I know what the game is.

Me: I don’t know. Maybe.

Nell: It looks like nobody wants to give in.

Me: Dave’s a surprisingly good player.

Nell: It’s all the years of playing with Walter.

Me: Someone must have looked away or they would still be there now and they definitely aren’t because Harriet’s up here with me and Dave’s downstairs waiting for bacon.

Nell: Of course he’s waiting for bacon. It’s Sunday. How was the Village Show?

Me: There were some beautiful tomatoes and a really long runner bean.

Nell: Good to hear.

Me: And our next door neighbour won third prize for her cherry cake.

Nell: Sophie’s mother?

Me: Yes.

Nell: Have you heard from Alice?

Me: Yes. Jonathan and his father are busy getting ready for their camping trip to Denmark tomorrow.

Nell: How exciting for them.

Me: And Chris has become a Canadian citizen. He received his citizenship certificate yesterday.

Nell: What an international family.

Me: Yes.

Nell: Are you still going to the Vintage Show today?

Me: Yes. Kev and I love seeing all the tractors.

Nell: You’ve got tractors driving past your house all the time.

Me: It’s different.

Nell: I hope you’re not missing Sunday Songs.

Me: No we’re singing first.

Nell: Good.

Me: But there won’t be a Sunday roast today. Just a salad in the evening.

Nell: Unbelievable.

Me: We’re going to grab a burger at the show.

Nell: And what about everybody else?

Me: Herr Hoffmann is making them some delicious sandwiches.

Nell: For Sunday lunch?

Me: Sorry.
