Uh, I thought I come and tell you in person. I've finally heard back from Animal Health / given / Wolfgang's post-mortem. / Oh dear. / I've been dreading this moment / Linda, it's all right. It's good news / What? / Good news. Wolfgang died from / pneumonia / no sign of / at all / bovine TB / old age. So, as far as the other two are concerned, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. / Oh. .... Oh, Alister, I can't believe it's true. / Yes. I'm glad to say. / sorry / silly of me. / it's such a relief. .... Oh, Constanza. It's all right. You can stop worrying. You're safe.

Oh, well,.... / listen / with Rosy / Rosy would love to see you / Oh. That would be so lovely. Just wish we could / So let's do it then. / no / Well, for a start, I can't take a time off. Not now. / way they are / lovely thought, but not this birthday. We'll have to do something else instead. / Like what? / quite happy to keep it simple. Maybe just a nice dinner with all the family. Oh. / Clarrie. / Linda. Hello, come on in / Oh, your lilacs, so wonderful. I / across the road / everything / looking glorious out there. / burst into song / well / You are full of joys all of a sudden. / fail to be on a day like this, Eddie / seemed / a bit downer / what can I do for you, Linda? / Well, you know me. I'm the last to spread idle gossip and tittle tattle. But I've just heard a rather upsetting rumour.

Alister. How is it going? / Fine. We are up to speed / half way through the herd. / grabbing a quick break / No, on. That's kind, but / you are all busy too / my flask / hope / keeping / moving them trhough nicely / all very efficient / TB tests / should be the last, hopefully. / Well, one thing we're not gonna miss, I'm sure. / No. / pray / reactor / yes / if there are / movement restrictions / really throw / rethink our whole plan / even go there / not at this stage. / Yeah, you are right. / And, on a lighter note, I've been trying persuade / quite soon / three weeks / bank holiday Monday / right / persuade Daniel to commit. / Doesn't he have exams? / bang in the middle of them / sound like a good excuse. / Oh, hi Clarrie. / finish the cows and then start the / Sorry I'm a bit laid back / fine / looking / this lot. / Oh? / Delivery for Tom. Packaging for / ready meals / seen the new labels? / Oh yeah. Oh they are different. / No mention of organic any more. It's welfare-friendly instead. / coming, of course, but / printed out like that / I do know what you mean, Pat. / Anyway, Tom's busy with the cows. I'll get these / If you want to go on and start it / get these into the office / and, when you are ready, / have a talk / There's something you ought to know.

Mostly frost damage from the winter. Jim asked me to fix it up for him. / neat job / Oh yeah / time I'm done, you'll have smartest ... wall / hold you up then / I've got some shopping to do / You know Clarrie's birthday coming up / next / meself / a bit of a problem. Maybe you can help me out. / try me / Well, when I asked what she'd like to do / go to the seaside / lovely idea / That's what I thought. So I said, let's go / sister / then / she says, No / take the time off work / No / that's a shame / back where I started. / which means / market / if you've got any / that's a difficult one, Eddie. / Yeah. OK / just a thought / I'm sorry, but, I'll certainly have a think, eh?

What? She's heard / selling up / rumor / selling up / not just the cows. There's a rumour / selling / It's true, I'm afraid. / selling up and retiring. Linda / that's ridiculous / on earth / get that from / selling the farm,.... oh, that is just what we don't need / suppose / about the herd / just got out of hands like chinese whispers. / Me and Susan or anyone else I can think of / No. / only you and the family / knows / Trevor, I suppose / wouldn't have been Trevor. ..... I suppose it doesn't matter / as far as Linda / soon / all around the village / try / stop it somehow. I'd better give her a call.

sausauge roll / a bottle of pop / coming / Eddie / that was a long shop / talking to Susan about the new rota. / Jennifer / telling me to make sure / doesn't come out for two weeks yet. / shan't be wasting me money / Eddie / Clarrie's birthday / sound a bit crazy but, well, I think I've got a plan.

Pat, if I've got the wrong end of the stick / of course / my deepest apologies. / But where did you get it from / it's all rather complicated / I've no doubt it is / Bert / as far as I can gather, he picked up the rumour / down at the / But if it's not really true,... / Linda, I can assure you that Tony and I have absolutely no plans to retire or sell the farm / Well, in that case / glad to hear / very glad indeed. / Yes, thank you, linda / And if I hear / repeating the rumor / straight in no uncertain terms. / I would be very / you can rely on me. / All right. Thank you. Well, I'll let you go / Hello. ..... Problems? / Oh, just / whole world seems to have gone mad all of a sudden. / OK. Well, I'm all through the herd for today. / Good. Well that's another step on the way. / I'll be back / check for any reactors / monday / first thing Monday morning. So, / keep our fingers crossed until then. / Yes. yes, we will.
