Episode
Is it you again? Well, come in then and set yourself down. Shirley’s watching the filming. They’ve made a hospital out the back of the house, and that Blue woman is dying. Not really, mind you, though to be honest she’s been lying in bed moaning so long it would be a blessing to see her go. Don’t have much patience for all this doctoring right now myself. A bit too close to home, if you take my meaning.
Oh, I’m well enough. I have my days, like I say to Shirley, none of us is getting any younger. When the weather turns warm, I’ll be good as new. Been practising, you know, for the film. I’m the gardener. Don’t have any lines, but I’ve got quite a complicated bit going with the hose. I watered the shrubs in the small garden all yesterday afternoon, just to get it right. Made things a bit soggy, what with the rain today, but I think I’ve got the gist of it. John was asking me what I was doing but it isn’t me, you see. It’s him, the pretend gardener, who’s doing the work.
Well, I’ve just had my tea, so if you fancy a cup, you’ll have to come back when Shirley is here. I’ll tell her you stopped in.
