Yesterday, I was doing ironing as well as cleaning, and I had to turn the matress. / never / on my own / double, is it? / No, it's two singles pushed together. / that's all right / when you think where you were last year. Now I've got / shearing / you've got two jobs. Brilliant, eh? / Yeah. .... / What? / George was praying again at breakfast.

A spy? As in ....? / Uh, well, .... / Oh, come on. where's your ... ? / Well, the bottom line is, I need to know that the Grange Spinney Virgin Mary ain't gonna look the same as mine and Nic's St. Bridget. / Ah, you don't wanna be / is that it? / No. But, folks won't wanna pay to see identical displays, now will they? / Same here. / well, Christine is / chief designer, isn't she? / Huh huh. / you are on the spot / in fact, you are perfectly placed, living almost next door to Jim / True. / each other's house / all day long / it's not quite like that. / yet, you might be able to pick something up though. / I, .... I might. .... OK, then / Oh, great. / We'll discuss it over lunch. / Lunch? / Aye. Thanks very much. / Oh. / I can't really spy on an empty stomach.

It's even worse at night. .... It's not funny, Ed. / it really is. It's hilarious. / It took me ages to pursuade him to climb onto his duvet last night. / down on his knees, praying for C... and K... / someone has to, / it's ... phasing. George will grow out of it. I used to sing in church when I was a kid, didn't I? / was convinced / next A...

If you feel outshone by Nic, instead of whinging, just do something about it.

That was a cracking lunch, Mrs. G. / Anytime, love. / Really? / Of course. / Great. I hope you didn't mind me sharing that pie / no. well, / up / bread and jam / give me the lion's share / well, you are doing me a favour, aren't you? / I'll see what I can do / I'm ever so grateful. / Ho ! Jamie, my man. / look at these weeds. The more I pick them, the more they grow. / You all right, Jazzer? / you're the right man in the right place at the right time. / Aye? / you fancy a two-day adventure break? / What's the catch? / spooky / What is? / The adventure? / catching sheep while Ed and me shear them. / Oh, I get it. / great night / local hostelry / before / barn / grow wee sheep / I could be interested. / I knew it. You'll have a blast. / logging man's stuff / if it doesn't / come on. / When is it? / next Wednesday and Thursday. / Well, I'll have to check / need me / my tree work. / OK.

Go on. .... Righ. I reckon you can squeeze by now. .... So, what do you think? / I thik you two need to sort out your employment practices before you go offering jobs to people.

She / cover / go inside / Good. / So, what am I looking for? / I don't know. Plans, lists, .... / Right. .... / Well, you are the one on the spot. And, if you can't find no written evidence, you'll have to try and get it over. But don't make it too obvious. / wait / a slip of paper inside this gardening magazine. / what's it say? / Hold on .... pick up prescription .... uh .... / vitamine C,  / she / chemist / a lot / a chance / I know she / color. / here we are, then / go / I didn't know you were interested in gardening, Jazzer. / Huh? / You looked very absorbed in that magazine. / Ah, well, living with Jim, you know. / Oh, can you just move the .... / thank you / You are in luck. I made a lemon drizzle cake this morning. / Looks bonny. / Shall I / great / Jim / St. Andrew / Flower Festival. / He never said. / since / Highland Games at the Fete this year. / Oh yes. / Blue and white flowers, isn't it? / Naturally.

What details? / Ah ha, very good, Jazzer. .... It's classified information. He's sworn to secrecy now. / Ah, well, where's the harm? / competition / not to mention / these / events can / bring out the worst / as well as the best / see / Besides, the public are paying to be surprised by / what / they call it nowadays / the reveal / Aye. / if / already know what to expect, there's no drama, is there?
