# Whoops . # Ugh look at that . # I think it's the kind of food we're using cos it's different food from the food that we had at the beginning . # It didn't seem to get as bad as this at the beginning . # I don't know . # It just did n't . # Pardon ? # Yes we used the little pot and then we bought that box . # Hello . # What's your problem ? # You alright ? # You want to put water in ? # Well we'll just give them one more swish . # What little pot ? # The fish food you mean ? # Well the thing was , because we bought a box and the box was a bit flimsy , I thought we would put the new fish food into the old pot , you see . # So the old pot has still got some in but it's really the new food . # Do you see ? # There's still some food in there as well . # Right , okay . # If you want to put your jug of water in now , this is your moment . # Do you want to get a jug full . # Do you want to get some from the tap ?

# Ooh . # That's a funny thing . # I should think so . # Just a little bit . # I think we've nearly got enough now don't you ? # Well if we have too much more we shall # have it overflowing . # Mm ? # I think we must stop before we get right to the top . # No . # Whoops . # I'll tell you what look . # You hold the cup and I'll tip the bucket , right ? # I'll hold your cup . # There you go . # All done . # Right , we need a cloth now to wipe up the bits round the edges . # What are you doing ? # Well look why don't you have one of these then you can do it properly . # Well you're a silly billy you are . # It's the edges you've got to do look , not inside it . # Yeah , we need the roof on don't we ? # Mm . # Do you want to pick up the top , the lid please . # Except if we're gonna put food in we didn't ought to put it on just yet did we ? # Oh we could put food through there . # No you want dry hands cos if you touch the food with wet hands guess what happens ? # Can you guess ? # It sticks to your fingers . # Yeah , just make sure , oh look at your trousers ! # Soaked . # When did you do that ? # Okay well just dry # your fingers first . # Well you did the I poured your , the water into your cup so it's Christopher's turn to feed them . # Well you don't need the box love cos the box's got some food in but the that's got the rest of it in . # Well it's okay about washing them , it's the dryness that matters . # Are they dry , your hands ? # Yeah ? # Go on then . # No not too much . # You watch underneath Tim , see if they come up to the top . # Are they coming ? # I should think so . # Go on then . # Just a little spot . # Well they're probably a bit shocked now cos they've got clean water . # Not quite . # Was it ? # Oh it doesn't matter . # Good . # That's that done . # I don't know . # I'm never sure if they eat this weed cos it doesn't look as if it's going anywhere . # Can you watch what ? # The video ? # What do you want to watch ? # Pardon ? # There isn't anything new , no . # I haven't got round to videoing today cos I was out teaching this afternoon . # Er I was out at Tesco's this morning . # In fact I went to wave goodbye to grandma . # I took her to the train . # You'll never guess , when we got to the train station # when we got to the train station , guess what erm grandma had to catch ?

# Mm . # It just picks up your voice . # You know like in church ? # You know when we go to church and you have a microphone on , and it makes your voice go round all the church ? # Well it's a bit like that but instead of making it go round all the church it goes on to the tape . # So it records . # Yes . # There's there's a tape in my pocket look . # In there . # We'll have a look at it later on . # Oh very , very tuneful Tim . # Because there are some people that want to listen to what we say in our house , and what we say to each other . # And then they can think about language and how people use language . # In France ? # No , it won't pick up our voices in France . # But in France if they did the same thing they would be talking in French down their machine . # Hello . # Ooh , what a lovely tune . # Mm . # It is a funny one . # Now it's five o'clock . # What time do you think daddy is going to get home today ?

# I don't know . # Did Ian get pricked Tim ? # No . # Just you . # I expect he had a smooth stick for himself did he ? # Ian had a smooth stick . # I expect it was one of these walks you know , and Ian found a stick and then he thought Tim would like one . # Don't touch it Tim . # Tim ?

# Just a minute . # We're not ready yet for you . # Pardon ? # I know . # Now listen , to have yogurt and ice-cream you have to have some fruit okay . # And what's more # and what's more you have to have more than that Tim . # Look . # I've put some banana in for you . # There . # That one there ? # Right . # Is that alright now ? # Are you happy with that ? # Ice-cream . # There you go . # Satisfied ?all that fuss for . # Well it's all called tea really . # You have a first course and a second course and could call it all I don't know what you call it really , I never do know what to call it all . # That's confusing . # Right . # We'll sit down and eat soon . # Ah . # Well it was a bit hectic cos of having this phone call to say I've got to teach in the afternoon . # I thought I'd better do all my jobs which I thought was going to be spread across the d the day . # So I went to Tesco's first thing straight back from the nursery and guess what I forgot to do ? # Take me list with me # No I'd got me money , but not the list . # Mm . # And anything might happen . # I checked it off when I got back and it's not too bad . # Forgot about three or four things . # The juice . # And then , after I'd gone round to Tesco's I went to see to collect grandma to take her to the train . # Which wasn't a train , it was a bus . # Mm . # There was one # Mm . # She's going to Manchester . # To see Irene . # Do you remember Irene ? # Mm . # She'll still be in Manchester . # Mm . # It'll be funny won't it ? # Yes , we were . # I don't know . # We haven't really decided that but yes , I suppose we could . # You think we'll go to grandma's house ? # Mm . # We'll see what she says when she comes back . # Anyway , arrived at the station and there was this great coach standing there waiting to take them all to . # It was blocking the whole of the car park . # So this car that was trying to get out was sitting there waiting and there was no driver in sight and people were rushing about all over the station trying to find the driver . # Anyway it didn't worry us cos we were behind the coach . # But I did feel sorry for the man who was trying to get out cos he must have been in there for ages . # I suppose they thought that there wouldn't be anybody trying to get out cos the train # wasn't due out . # So I just left her getting on the bus . # I didn't sort of wait till the bus had gone or anything . # I finally managed to get a a card for the wedding in Tesco's . # You know , I sent them a card , Mark and Trish . # Mark and Trish . # You know grandma's going to go to a wedding when she goes away ? # That's why she's gone away . # Well that's where the wedding is . # Beg your pardon ? # When you get to the station to catch the train ? # What do you mean ? # Mm . # Grandma went to the station to catch a train to get to Birmingham . # Yeah ? # And then she got another train in Birmingham . # Except she didn't get a train to Birmingham , she got a bus . # Well , she got a bus to Barn Green And a train at Barn Green to Birmingham . # Christopher knew earlier on that erm he was gonna be seven when the electrification was finished . # Did you , I mean , discuss this before ?

# Well what is it tomorrow morning and evening and things . # What is it tomorrow morning and evening , and what are we going to do in the afternoon without ? # I know we'll cope but what are you going to do ? # Are we inviting anyone ? # I know we're not inviting anybody for lunch Christmas day couldn't cope with that but it would be quite to have them in the afternoon can't cope with the people ! # Well that's what I was thinking , perhaps we could go with somebody somewhere . # You know , like by a canal or something . # Perhaps , well if it's snowing it won't be quite the same . # Conducive to tripping about ! # But if it's quite nice weather , it would be nice to invite somebody along I expect . # Stratford ? # Is it six weeks since we saw the last one then ? # Mm . # That's Mother's Day twenty second . # Is it ? # No . # Twenty ninth . # Yeah they want a party piece on Tuesday . # It's alright you don't have to ,of cake . # If I don't bake them now my mother . # Yeah I will . # And it better be a nice one ! # Pop into Marks and Spencers they have some amazing shapes in Marks and Spencers that the children will enjoy . # Mind you it might be expensive . # Tesco's are probably cheaper . # You remember that Tom and Jerry I got for Tim ? # Because I couldn't be bothered to cook it . # Thank you dear . # Yeah . # And I'll just make the rest of the with salad in . # I've told you what we're gonna for Christopher haven't I ? # Yeah . # Is that naughty ? # Thursday morning . # You what ? # On Monday ? # Where are you going Monday ? # Oh right the big housewife ! # like cooking this week . # Ah , I'm having Jane for a piano lesson , aren't I ? # Monday . # So that fits in quite well I couldn't remember what I was doing on Monday but we said , sort of tentatively Monday would be probably quite a good day I think . # Better than Thursday anyway . # So could Tuesday night be Inspector Morse night ? # Oh right can we not take her home ? # Well she'll # have been here all day , won't she ? # So she might want to go home ! # Could you tell her we're going to watch Inspector Morse ! # I don't think she watches it normally . # I bet she would , she loves anything like that ! # Bit of a body ! # Mind you , it might be too complicated ! # Right . # If it was not Bradley Hall , it can't be Bradley Hall again , they're always going in there ! # Mm . # And how did # they get permission then ? # Where is it ? # Oh ! # They don't know where ? # Oh . # So # this was about last week's episode ? # Oh . # We seem to have got one spare video if we don't get it watched before Wednesday . # Oh yeah cos we're going to Maryland tomorrow . # your dad . # Erm not it wasn't about your dad , it was about my birthday cos # he'd realized that it was my birthday , and wha , what did I want ? # So I said send me a cheque and I'll go and shop . # And last week cos she's quite generous isn't she ? # No , I didn't say anything . # So your dad sent a cheque . # Anyway I asked her if she'd heard from your dad , and she has heard from your dad apparently on Friday he went to the consultant # and next week he's got his first well she didn't know whether it was radiotherapy or chemotherapy . # And she said he has to go trotting to Exeter two or three times a week now . # I don't know how long it's going to go on for , or what it is exactly but I thought it would be a good idea to ring your dad up and see . # But at least things have moved , and at least they've gone round . # So I'm pleased really , are you ? # Interesting that they've done it so quickly isn't it ? # After seeing him , because he thought that once he'd seen the consultant it would then take some time to get the treatment started , but they must have got themselves over that . # Yeah . # Gotta get moving . # And presumably whatever it was the GP had give him has had tha , upset that thrombosis again . # I don't know whether to ring him tonight , oh it's too late tonight now . # Perhaps we could ring tomorrow afternoon when the children are up ? # Well they love talking to them on the phone don't they ? # We could can prime them up on what to say and types of things to talk about so they don't get moaned down or something ! # Bogged down ! # I don't know she just said # a few times a week and I think it sounded like three cos she was wondering how he would cope with driving and everything . # Well I hope not I mean no he won't be able to drive # but presumably your mum can do that for , they've got hundreds of people there , he's always driving people everywhere # so I don't see why they can't drive him ! # I'm sure they will # cos they're very good aren't they ? # I mean look at that woman doing her er from the from the church . # It would nice if we lived there but we can't so # And write as well . # Double dose . # Well it's sort of pulled out , but at least it's . # And it's hard as well . # We've been paying anyway , so it must of you know . # What does erm you see er Eileen's and she's having chemotherapy isn't she ? # By me , by medication , is # that right ? # That's right she has a sort of massive dose every now and then . # And that makes her feel what ? # She's not in pain is she ? # More sort of dopey . # Yeah . # Yeah . # I dunno . # Difficult to know . # Oh yes , that was it ! # I wonder how bad it is , that feeling's like , we don't really know how bad it is do we ? # Perhaps he will be able to say , you know ? # But whether he'd tell us over the telephone ,you think ask . # I think he would wouldn't he ? # Are you feeling alright before you sort of ? # Oh I see . # Try again Tim ! # Why should daddy have to go ? # No get me up for it . # That bad is it ? # Oh no we're not gonna take another tape off ! # Sunday today . # It's a different . # Where do we normally go on Sunday ? # Where do we normally go on Sunday ?

# Just one . # Oh look there's another one ! # Two . # Don't know if you'll see it over there , I think you might have to be in the light . # Here look inside here it's meant to be bonsai trees but I don't know whether I'll ever remem materialize . # Somebody gave us one for Christmas . # Can you see ? # If you look very carefully you can just see a couple of little green shoots starting to come . # Oh # I can see one in a big lump . # One in a big lot ? # Hello ! # Okay , can I feed the fish first , cos these poor fish haven't been fed yet . # I will ! # I'll sit down , I'll sit down , just hold on ! # Finish doing the jobs . # Well # it's meant to be a bonsai tree which looks like a tree but it's only very small like that high . # But at the moment I think there's lots and lots of seeds . # I think there could be about fifteen trees in there , so far . # That fish came zooming up to the top then , to see what you were doing . # Now then Tim , not too much , alright ?

# Well what you've got to do , you've both got to learn . # You've both got to learn # Mm . # Mm . # Oh there we go . # I suspect that one day , you'll both learn to look where you're going and both move out of the way . # So nobody is to back . # Are you going to get that aeroplane ? # Ah you've already wiped your nose , you've wiped it over your cheek ! # Yuk ! # Urgh , what a mess ! # Right , what are we doing now , sharpening this ? # Shall I help you ? # Cos I don't # think you're getting very far are you ?

# Oh it doesn't what you # what you mean the # I don't care what it was , it was just kind of , you know , a story that they might know . # just happened to be the children's , that's all . # I suppose as long as you bring them back , it won't matter . # As long as they don't want to borrow them . # Cos I thought it wasn't very fair to lend out the children's stuff # I suppose for hours cos I had loads from when I was teaching so wi that , I've donated those cos our own children would never get to mark them . # Oh well ma , we were considering ooh we got a green Jesus here ! # Is little girl still in bed , oh well we'll make her food up shall we ? # blue , are they ? # Actually I don't think they are really you know ! # Do I look blue ? # We have blue clothes sometimes # don't you ? # You don't usually have a blue # Cos you don't usually have a blue face ! # Still , when you're drawing , you can draw anything really . # Might have a red dress oh it's pyjamas I suppose , if they're in bed or a nightie ? # Try and give her a red nightie . # No , that's supposed to be what he's thinking look he's got little blobs coming from his head . # Cos he's thinking about Jesus . # I think he's going to the dentist or something , and he's a bit frightened so he thinks , he thinks of that . # What's the matter Christopher ? # No . # That's fair enough . # Do want some lemonade then ? # Daddy ! # Yep . # Hello do you want to come and join us ? # Do you need the toilet ? # Do you want to switch the telly off then ? # I should stay lying down if I were you . # Dizzy ?

# I suppose it wasn't really that much of a morning by the time you got home again . # What ? # You're not having a earlier ? # Oh they have it early in the morning , about half nine or something . # Must of been desperate ! # How to keep them happy . # Well our little group of six was very nice . # Very clever . # Erm a new girl called Jadie # and Samantha . # Samantha don't worry and Paul Paula who was very sweet , and told us about when her parents split up Reece who was also very sweet and erm Paula # who turned out to be able to read quite a lot . # Mm cos we decided it wasn't worth splitting into two groups , everybody else . # Mm . # I had her anyway , just in case . # No . # She's quite happy . # We just did what we were supposed to do really ha ha we actually read the first one of the quests together , so it was good you know , we decided what to do how to do it . # They all one kind or another . # Well # There's plenty of adult books that can be used , still . # But seems a pity doesn't it ? # On that . # Well , eat up eat up the broccoli then . # No I don't want you # Oh ! # Put that down please , and cut it into pieces . # Timothy , that is disgusting ! # There's too much when you do that . # Well it's only horrible cos you've put too much of it in your mouth at once . # Just have little pieces of it . # Looks as though there's gonna be no pudding unless you do ! # I think you're just being a bit too silly with your food ! # Eat that bit . # There . # And eat it properly this time ! # There was only two of them in scramblers . # Mm very # low day today . # No they . # But no , no there was a lot of adults there but obviously not families . # And one or two had farmed on their children out over there , like you know , the # and made a family . # They seemed to be a there in it's entirety and erm Graham and Kirsty , they were away with their gran . # Oh very jolly , yes , they enjoyed that . # What , sat # next to them , yeah ?

# Yeah . # James's mum said to me , and she doesn't know her from Adam , she said # that lady is on , been on the corner , standing there talking for the last twenty minutes which must mean that Mark was late to school this morning so then # she must be going to High Down Hill . # Or is he not going to school this morning ?

# Are you ready ? # Timmy the catcher mouse was a little black cat . # Timmy the catcher mouse was a very long name for a very little cat so everyone called him Tim . # Tim lived in a hole under the steps of a very old house . # He lived there with his mother and his sister Tessa . # That doesn't say Tessa . # That one says # Tim . # That's right . # His mother's name was Peggity but everyone called her Pegs . # And what does this bit say ? # That's right . # One day Pegs was going out . # You can play in the garden while I'm away she said . # But remember this . # A magician lives in the house everyone says that he's very grumpy so if you meet the magician you must be very polite . # I'll remember said Tim . # Tim and # That's right . # Pegs went out . # She ran across the garden to the old iron gate . # She crept under the gate and out into the lane . # No , it says Pegs went out . # That's right . # Again . # That's right . # There's the word went look , and there's the word out . # Pegs went out . # That's right . # Well you can see it there . # There's Pegs . # There's went . # And that's out . # It is , yes . # Mhm . # You do , you're right . # Tim looked at his sister . # She was fast asleep . # Tim jumped on her to wake her up but she only said go away , and went back to sleep again . # What does this bit say ? # Do you remember ? # Jumped . # That one bit says Tim and that bit there says jumped . # Tim jumped . # Yes . # Whoops , we've missed , I lost our page there . # Tim got out of the hole . # The sun was shining and the sky was blue . # Tim went out into the garden . # Hold on . # You've got to say this bit first . # Very good . # That was a bit clever . # Tim saw a tree well er they look all done to me . # That's right . # The tree was growing near the house . # Do you want to try that one ? # It's a bit like what we've been doing before where you've got to look at the money . # It said how much for both ? # Tick the money you will need . # You have to tick off . # It's going to be nine p and one p . # That makes ten p altogether and you have to tick off the ten pence by doing a five and a five . # So you have to add this bit up first . # Three p and five p and write down what it comes to . # What will that be ? # Wait a minute . # Well find that first of all . # Three p and five p makes ? # Jus can I just show Christopher what to do with this page ? # Cos once he's got going he can get on with it himself then . # That's right . # So put your eight p down there . # And then you have to work out the coins that you'll need for eight p # or three p and five p . # So which ones will you need ? # Just tick them off , the bits that you'll need . # Nearly . # Tim ran to the tree . # Will you need what love ? # Two two and one . # That would make five . # And then you need another three . # Why don't you have the fi look for the three p first and tick that off and then look for the five p next and tick that off . # Mm . # Cos you know that five p and three p are gonna make eight p don't you ? # Just hold on Tim while I just sort him out . # Cos if # That's right . # That's five p and now you need # No you can't really . # That's better . # Well make a big tick sticking out like there's does . # That's it , now That's it there , now what else makes eight p ? # Tim climbed to the very top of the tree . # He looked down and saw the house . # The roof of the house was very close to the top of the tree . # Looked # Down . # That's it . # Tim looked down . # You've got four p there . # Do you know what you're doing on that that that's for that one . # You're up here . # Mm . # You've ticked the wrong things but it doesn't matter cos we can probably use those anyway . # It's a good try . # It actually says Tim saw the window . # Tim jumped on to the roof of the house . # There was a window in the roof . # Tim saw the window . # The window was open . # Saw # the # window . # That's it . # That's it . # Well done . # Now you have to do this one . # Tricky aren't they , these ? # Tim ran up the roof to the window . # He looked down into the room below . # He saw an old man sitting in a chair . # The old man had long white hair and a white beard . # He must be a magician # Tim said to himself . # That's it . # The magician . # Well done . # Mhm . # The magician was fast asleep . # Tim leaned over to have a good look at him , but his foot slipped and he fell in . # He landed right on the magician's knee . # Tim dug in his claws and held on . # Well done . # The magician woke up with a yell of pain . # He saw Tim standing on his knee . # Where on earth did you come from ? # He asked . # I fell in said Tim . # Then you'd better fall out again said the magician . # Take your claws out of my knee and go away . # The # woke # That's it . # Tim pulled out his claws . # He looked up at the # window . # I can't get up there by myself he said . # Looked # up # It is it . # You're right . # We'll soon see about that said the magician . # One two three and you're back # in the tree . # And he snapped his fingers . # This one says one two three . # That's it . # That's it . # Very good . # Tim felt himself flying up in the air . # A moment later he found himself back in the top of the tree . # And # Yeah . # And # was in the # Very good . # You're good at this book aren't you Tim ?

# Well half a clean tidy garden . # We have . # And we've put a bit of seed on that bit so it's . # Seems like an appropriate thing to do when one's stuck at home . # Tim sit . # Properly please . # four huge pigeons sitting in the on the grass earlier on . # There used to be two but there's four now . # Do you think they've # You did bang the drum . # Anybody want any of this ? # No Tim . # Well if you stop crying and ask for it properly and you don't mind if mummy or daddy do it for you that's fine . # No . # Do you want me to do it or not ? # Right . # You just want to pick it out ? # You're not going to shake it over your dinner ? # Thank you . # Right , here you are . # That's that one done . # Thank you . # Right . # Good gracious me . # What a carry on . # Welcome home dear . # It's been comparatively peaceful today . # They all sort of surfaced # I think I'd had I finished my breakfast when , no I think you just came just as I was about to take my first mouthful of cereal . # It was about quarter to eight before everybody , well after that # What time did you get up ? # What time did you go ? # Mm . # It was about ten to eight when Christopher got up . # But Tim was still asleep till about quarter past eight . # Which is unheard of . # Yes you did shout for daddy . # There was no daddy . # He'd gone to work already . # So then we had a bit of a wonder whether or not Christopher should go to school . # And I decided he was , should stay at home . # Mm . # He was a bit sort of wobbly on his legs at the beginning of the day but he's been # fine since . # Nursery . # We did go down to the library . # Cos I thought it would , it was such a warm day I thought it would be quite nice for him to have a walk see if he was alright . # Anyway managed to walk to the library and walk down the shops . # But when we got back we had to lie down in front of the video for a bit . # Mhm . # Yeah I rang up and said I wasn't gonna go the children . # Anyway it turned out we met Ann and erm both Martin and Ian are been having a similar trauma . # Mm . # Ian's been sort of talking about all sorts of strange things in his sleep and # delirious and hot hot # fever . # So # Mm . # Must be . # And she said Martin was hot but nothing too traumatic . # A bit like these two really . # But Ian had been sick as well . # I should think so . # Although Christopher didn't really see much of them did he ? # Oh he did on Thursday didn't he ? # I would have thought Tim would have had it worse from contact erm wise . # These things don't work like that do they ? # Mm . # Yeah . # Well it certainly did in both these cases . # Although I met Theresa on the way back from erm school and she said Alec was at the doctors cos not the way back from school , way back from the library . # And she said Alec was at the doctors cos he was feeling under the weather . # So I don't know what that's in aid of . # Was she ? # Oh dear . # What's the matter with her ? # What's the matter with her ? # You don't want the meat ? # You usually like meat . # Mm . # Let's chop it for you . # Tim listen . # I'm going to chop you # I'm going to chop you one piece of meat okay ? # We'll take away the other piece . # Yeah . # There you go . # It'll be nice now . # Nice and tasty . # Well done Christopher . # You alright ? # Well it has really . # It's been a bit sort of muggy this afternoon but we went out in the garden and we sort of just pottled around you know ? # Yeah . # Mm . # It's certainly very wet out there . # Apart from her sore throat was Julie okay ? # Mm ? # Oh . # Where are they all ? # Mm . # Oh yeah , in Bromsgrove yeah . # Mm . # What do they do ? # Mm . # I did not . # I certainly didn't give you lots of meat . # Oh that's alright . # You don't need to have anything else . # Oh no . # If you're full you won't need pudding . # Well that's okay . # You can leave it but you just don't get pudding as well . # Getting potatoes in your eyes . # That's a funny place to put potato . # Mm broccoli doesn't want to come on the fork . # Come here broccoli . # We rang grandma of course to say we wouldn't be swimming . # There's a lot of things we're not doing isn't there at the moment ? # Yes . # She's fine . # Oh that's it really . # And zom zombieness in between . # No . # It all passed along didn't it ? # Mm . # Mm . # We didn't watch much video this morning at all really # until lunchtime . # He tells me # Oh , right . # I think that was a different boat to the one that they showed you on the telly . # Mm . # He showed me what it was . # But I couldn't tell that it was the Queen Mary at the time because he'd already cut it out . # Mm . # That's the same isn't it ? # Well done Tim . # What was Walt Disney doing with it may we ask ? # Was it a restaurant or something ? # Why ? # Oh . # Yes we know that Tim but you're just going to have to wait until we've all finished . # Ooh daddy ! # Right . # You'll have to put the exercise video on dear and # Mm . # A new Rosie and Jim . # They go to a shire horse centre near Stratford on Avon . # Do you know where that is ? # I didn't know there was one . # Yes . # Let's just cut the pa # Thank you . # Okay . # I'll just go round the other side and get the ice-cream . # Are you ? # You did finish all your dinner in the end didn't you after moaning on . # Yes , didn't you notice ? # He finished the lot . # Typical . # Right . # That's that's daddy's . # Do you want to take that to daddy ? # That's Christopher's . # And that's that's you . # Cos I just fancy them at the moment . # I sort of # Do you ? # Oh have some too if you want . # It's certainly much improved on yesterday I tell you . # A very jolly day really . # It was a bit of a trial weekend . # In many respects . # I had actually porridge on Saturday . # Mm . # Why can't I have it on Saturday ? # I did . # Neither did you . # Oh didn't I ? # Beg pardon . # I'd forgotten that one . # Oh that was what I was remembering . # And the Saturday before that none of us had it cos you were gallivanting up and down the country with the # the railways . # No we just rang her up . # Very briefly . # We've never had the car out all day . # What ? # I thought it was more sensible to walk to the library rather than go in the car cos # I thought it was good for us . # Mm . # So do I . # I think it says somewhere in the in the writing you've got to have done at least two days . # Who gave me what ? # What ? # A man . # It's only it's only on loan . # Oh that will make a nice birthday present . # A little Walkman . # Friday . # Why ? # Because it's his anyway . # He's only just lent it to me to to use during this week . # Oh I don't suppose it's his but # Just this week . # Well Friday to Friday . # One week . # Mm it's been very thrilling so far hasn't it ? # Everybody being sick . # In the . # A jolly little incident in Kwiksave that you would have been amused at dear . # We wanted to get some Rice Crispies okay ? # And we thought a good place to get Rice Crispies at Kwiksave # cos they're cheaper than Tesco's . # They were we found the Rice Crispies # place didn't we ? # And there was just one sort of half opened , half scattered packet sitting there . # So we looked around and there was erm a box full of them right up high , yeah ? # So we thought oh well , go and get an assistant . # So it caused chaos # you know trying to find an assistant cos there wasn't one walking about cos there was some at the tills but there weren't any walking around and it was very busy , there were lots of people going through the tills . # So anyway this girl eventually she said she was , it was her coffee break but she would come er in passing and sort us out . # So she came down , it was so embarrassing . # I explained about the Rice Crispies she said ah # I think there must be some in here . # There was another great big box but instead of being up high it was down below and I could easily # have helped myself to it . # Well they must have been just well they must have I didn't see them # They must have been unpacking Rice Crispies . # They were a bit away from the Rice Crispie hole type of thing but if I'd have used my eyes I would have noticed where they were . # Yes Timothy . # You don't know what to say now you've you've shouted at me . # Come on . # Let's hear it . # Or something about going to the library ? # Who do you take to the library with you ? # No . # Well he did but we didn't sort of take Christopher . # He just came . # Who did you take to the library with you ? # In your hand , who did you have ? # You took teddy didn't you ? # We hadn't actually heard anything about this library experience but when I asked him he wouldn't say anything . # We don't quite know what happened . # What did you do with them when you got in there ? # You had a biscuit ? # Mm . # We saw the biscuit # a picnic ! # You had a picnic ? # Well well . # A pretend picnic ? # Mm . # He came out with a a a biscuit covered in desiccated coconut . # Which he didn't like to eat so Cider ate it in the end . # Cider the dog . # However we still don't know what happened . # Did you have some stories with this teddy ? # Mm . # Stories about teddies ? # A teddy went in the dump ? # Oh dear . # Did they get him out again ? # Mm . # Oh . # No # He went in a van ? # Mm . # Mm . # Mm could have been that one . # Did you have any more stories about teddies ? # Mm . # What else did you have ? # Teddy what ? # A teddy with an owl ? # And what happened with a teddy and an owl ? # He fell ? # The teddy fell down ? # Did the owl catch him ? # Oh . # And the boy came back . # What was the boy called ? # It wasn't Christopher Robin was it ? # No . # Trying my best . # Wrong again . # Thursday . # Only we can't take him on Thursday cos we're busy on Thursday . # So we shall have to miss a week , and go the week after . # Mm . # I presume so . # Well they didn't tell us why . # Just said it wasn't . # I think they're just a bit shortstaffed because the girl that's usually in there hasn't been in there for weeks , Josie . # They've had the girl that's normally in there on a Saturday during the week . # Perhaps she's ill . # I said there's normally a different lady in the in the library . # On a Monday . # The lady that was in there today not Rosie the one that does the stories , she's always there well , when she's there . # The other lady , Josie , she's normally in there . # But she hasn't been there for a few weeks now so I think she might be ill . # Or on holiday or something . # No she can't be on holiday all that length of time . # No she wasn't today . # There was a lady there but that's the lady that normally goes on a Saturday . # Well I suppose she does go on a Saturday as well . # They probably had to rake her in to hold the fort . # I don't know . # I don't know whether she did or not . # Mm . # Oh . # think about . # You'll enjoy that , it's all about eggs . # Should you ever want to watch it all . # It's all very gripping . # Well there won't be any time tomorrow to watch anything . # I've arranged with my # I've arranged with my mother to er take her home after tea . # So all is well for Inspector Morse . # She was quite happy to . # She said she wanted to really . # And she said # she'd got to do Wednesday night . # And I've just realized I'm supposed to do Wednesday night as well . # I'd forgotten . # So I'll have to prepare it tomorrow morning . # Or tonight , I could do . # It's not been Bump for a week or two . # Was it Poddington Peas ? # Yeah . # Poddington Peas . # It had things like happy and dopey and grumpy . # Oh right . # Creepea # Oh . # It sounds very gripping . # Oh dear . # Because we're not bothering watching any more now . # That's it # I think so . # It'll be bed time . # It's quarter past six already . # True . # Yeah . # Unless you want to play tummyache ?

# We don't have any erm Chris has never bothered us bring people back from school , I don't think he knows them that well , well I mean he does know them , but they're not really his type , you know , # What ? # No , I mean he's quite happy being there with them # and I've heard him say oh can I go and play with such a boy , he said he likes going to Kirsty , Kirsty and Hannah and Kirsty and Graham he's quite fond of them too and Adam # and all those really # are sort of his type of player # see what I mean ? # He gets fed up if people don't play properly # Likes to set things out and make them go you know # rather than throw it about # quite a certain little somebody we all know he's toys do it , no I put it there . # They played ever so well this morning didn't you ? # What were you playing this morning when you got up , you and Christopher ? # Didn't you have a game ? # Was it snakes and ladders this morning ? # Oh no it was a tractor thing wasn't it , or did you play snakes and ladders as well ? # Mm # He fell off to sleep # Huh , good ain't it ? # Yes , there's definitely there some proving , mind you , you'll have to pick the right time of day , do you know what I mean ? # I'm doing quite well really , I'm quite good . # Do you have to or meal or # Well I don't know , cos he's suddenly decided he likes yoghurt I think . # He used to love yoghurt # and then he went off it , # I don't know # You want a yoghurt with apple , your gonna start with a yoghurt are you ? # There you go , there's the yoghurt , I'll get you a spoon # I'll be pleased if you like yoghurt again Tim , pardon ? # Mm . # Well he's like that different taste , never sort of with Christopher stands for what he likes and what he doesn't like , shall we mix it round a bit more to mix in ? # Yeah # no # Do you like it ? # Oh good , perhaps he had a funny flavour or something that's put him off # I know when I was at you just had one thing with a funny flavour and that'll put you off that thing # Well . # I think that's got slightly more ooh we got the er , the what's it group tonight haven't we ? # Wonder if we've got any milk to give Morgan , oh no we haven't aha , when I take you home we'll have to get some more milk , otherwise we'll be stranded tomorrow # Come on , would you like another coffee cake ? # No , it seems to bit filling # Oh # I'll have a yoghurt first # Same as yours , yeah , I've given up buying funny flavours now I just buy strawberries cos nobody ever liked them # Well I like , usually I like three out of the four and then nobody seems to like the fourth # so I have to # Christopher likes black cherry doesn't he ? # That's his favourite # Mm , mm # No , you just like strawberry do you ? # You're like your mummy , I only like the red ones really , strawberry and raspberry # I don't mind black cherry # No # I'm not fond of things like apricot and nectarine # Huh # fruits of the forest I treat with great suspicion # I'm not fond of pineapple ones either # I like pineapple and we like # yoghurt , but put the two together yuck # I think it's things with big chunky bits in I don't fancy which is silly really cos that's the fruit in it , but still # Mm , oh , sort of international things at the # mm # Mind you they don't taste the same as # the family size # Mm # June # I took her class on Friday afternoon # She's been away all week # every time I got to them they had about twenty odd teachers there at the # the last teacher will be # they wanted me for the whole day of Friday but I said I'm sorry I can only do you half day if you're interested , they were , they were desperate . # No they wouldn't be when I'm des when they're desperate , everybody rings me when I'm # well I don't want too much , see what I mean # having told them to stay at home with Tim , I don't want to be # Well it's quite fun just going off for the odd day cos then he goes off to see Ian , he enjoys that but it was two afternoons last week cos I did Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon # I've a , well she's dumped hers on me # I mean she's got two children to dump on me so , I don't feel bad about that in , that we know , we decided that's what we , we didn't mind doing and there no trouble , if fact they're less trouble cos they're together than they are # no , we're just talking about when I did last week remember when I went teaching last week and you went to Ian's house didn't you ? # Went in two afternoons # Yeah anyhow I think she's hoping to come to tomorrow cos erm , idea in the air that on Maundy Thursday instead of having an ordinary mums and toddlers we'll have a in church for half an hour and then a run around cups of coffee with the big toys in the hall ,a good idea # That'll be a nice idea , it's a bit tricky , you remember the Chris what we did at Christmas , that went really well , and we thought perhaps something similar book for Easter , yeah , don't know what we'll do but cos people like John and , so he's not teaching full time , in fact some of the schools have holiday aren't they ? # Well she wasn't going to and then the elections got in the way . # Well we still don't know about that , and it said in the paper that they're having election in the church hall , nobody in the church knows about it . # So if they don't act , they've had it , but , if they wrote and asked quick then # Why a caretaker ? # Why can't they ? # Oh , they will have to if they want to won't they ? # Well in that case I expect , you know , some of us could become a caretaker if they're having to pay us # That's alright , open it up and then what do you do keep puffing along and sweeping it up whether it's put # cigarette ends on the floor # there not to smoke in the place # but I bet they will # Are they ?

, # I don't # think you should , I don't think that we should have an apple if we're not finished our yoghurt , do you ? # Well if you've had enough that's it then we'll lose it and we don't do anything else cos we can't keep doing that leaving half a bits and that , this and that # Well you , you've been doing a lot just recently , the last few days # Yeah having bits of things and then saying I've had enough and then having something else you know ?

# They're probably all at the bottom . # They are probably all at the bottom . # Actually they do tend to be , don't they ? # They tend to be at the top and then there's sort of little bits and pieces go at the bottom . # So perhaps you'd had it . # Perhaps you won't get any sultanas now . # Till the end of the Alpen . # I don't know . # I'm just guessing . # Probably squashed it on the way home from Tesco's . # He works at school . # Daddy told , said when your sandwiches are at work . # He meant at school . # But then he said you do work at school so it's alright . # They didn't need to take two and a half hours over it . # Would everybody stop shrieking . # Hands off the jug please . # What's the problem ? # There's some for you . # And some for you . # And nobody ask for any more till toast . # Go away pussy . # It's amazing how a huge c a huge cat like that can get underneath I've just planted my bulbs # Please don't shout at me . # I don't like it . # Well , I don't mind him walking across that bit but # Who , Tim ? # Well that's alright . # We don't mind that . # What did you try to say ? # Yes . # Did you ? # Oh . # . # Right . # We're not , not very friendly towards cats here are we ? # I don't mind other people's cats in their homes like erm there's a cat at Holly Cottage isn't there ? # Is that a nice cat , do you stroke it ? # Remember it do you ? # It's the ones that come along and just have to do things in the middle of the garden . # Oh that's nice . # Mm . # Cat flap . # Well you can see how cats can squeeze underneath fences # so I'm sure they can squeeze through cat flaps if they need to . # Is he meant to have half of that ? # What's that ? # off colour day wasn't it ? # Whenever it was . # Much better today . # I think it suddenly improved . # I would advise Tarazets if you want to try and get rid of it . # It's definitely worked for me . # Suck Tarazets if . # . # Mine's on it's way out . # I'm not bothering today cos I think mine is nearly better now . # It can get better by itself now . # Mm . # I've just seen that too Tim . # I don't know . # Perhaps your arm # Cos otherwise it would be marmit . # See , marmit I it's marmite . # say please may I have the marmalade . # Oh . # Well say thank you when you get it . # That's it . # Timothy , how did you manage to get on your knees again ? # He must have got a spring . # Automatic spring in there . # No he's kneeling up . # Mhm . # When we go to the dentist . # Shall we gather at the dentist . # A chequebook , I'll take . # Did they ? # So how much is it now , for children ? # It is Ruth's birthday today . # That's very clever . # How do you know that ? # No not mine . # Ruth's # Cousin Ruth . # Remember Ruth ? # Went to stay with them and Ruth came to read to you in the morning . # Oh no , Ann came to read to you in the mornings didn't she ? # Ruth wasn't with us in the mornings . # Oh yes . # And you and me nearly nearly didn't get on the train . # Do you remember the train ? # They were all waiting for us . # We had to run quick . # I can't remember what we were doing . # Probably weeing up a tree somewhere . # Everybody else was sitting on the train . # We had to run quick to get on it . # Mm . # Did nearly go without us . # We'd have to catch the next one . # Mm . # We are , this is a family trip . # Because said , are the children coming for a check up too . # Cos otherwise it's silly if we go # and then they go and they never know where they are . # Are the children supposed to go every six months ? # Well that's okay . # So it ought to work out twelve and a six month # so that we go every twelve and they go every six . # But somehow or another it got out of sequence . # Oh chop , sorry . # I'm not listening to you am I ? # Are they ? # And do what ? # Private ? # So people like , except the children you mean ? # Well how come when we're paying so much ? # Do you want # Oh I see . # Is it dear ? # Do you want two ? # Why not ? # Oh no you can't cos it's school . # You can wear them when you get home . # And walk to the dentist . # And walk to the dentist in your new shoes . # Yeah . # Well you don't take your shoes off at the dentists . # He doesn't look at your feet , he only looks at your teeth . # He'll get a shock when he sees your teeth won't he ? # Four of them have changed since you last came . # Mhm . # Yeah . # Yes . # Mummy and daddy and you two . # We're all going , family trip . # Mhm . # Yes and you . # No , four o'clock it is . # It's a little , it's a little ploy to get daddy home early . # Daddy'll have to come home a bit early to have it done . # Yes . # Will you let him ? # Yes ? # Will you sit on the chair , open your mouth , let him stick a mirror in ? # Aah . # I seem to remember last time you got two stickers didn't you , cos you had super clean teeth ? # I bet you only get one sticker this time . # I think you were a bit lucky to get two stickers . # I would have thought one sticker would be sufficient really . # Was it ? # Mm probably . # Mm . # Oh you went to school didn't you ? # There was a dentist came to school , remember ? # And we had a letter home saying something about you need to go to the local dentist or something for treatment . # Poss no possible treatment . # And I think it was cos of the wobbly front tooth when you bent it back when you fell over my foot . # So we didn't bother going because we were regularly going anyway . # No . # Yeah . # Well I didn't see much point # Regularly means that we go in anyway t every six months you go and have your teeth checked to see if they're okay . # So just when some some bod comes to school and opens your mouth and says ooh , this looks interesting , there's not much point because our own dentist knows about it . # No I wouldn't have thought so . # But some people don't go to the dentist regularly , so they need to be checked at school . # People like Michelle probably never set eyes on a dentist normally . # It's probably a good thing for a dentist to have a look at her teeth and see what needs doing . # Mm probably . # Probably not . # I'm just guessing . # We've been , yeah . # But not everybody does . # Well not everybody likes dentists and they think that something # awful's gonna happen to them . # They're wrong # cos it's nice isn't it , at the dentist ? # Well everybody ought to go to the dentist if they want to keep their teeth nice and healthy . # But not everybody does cos some people get frightened of dentists and they think ooh I don't want to go there . # But that's silly cos there's nothing to be frightened of is there ? # It's nice at the dentist . # Mm . # True . # Mm . # No , you can't see that . # That's why you need a mirror . # Can you have what ? # What things ? # Pink things ? # Oh I know what you mean . # For your throat ? # Yes you can do , just wipe your hands first . # Well he's got his sore throat here . # Have you ? # Right . # You can have one each . # In the kitchen . # I don't know . # No Tim . # Mummy has to get those . # It says on the bottle , only mummies touch medicines . # Well no , not quite but # One for you . # One for Tim . # One for you , daddy , would you like one of these . # Yeah . # Very very quick . # Well hold on cos # Yes . # After the prayer . # be bold # be strong # Dad's in the kitchen . # You sound like a monkey . # No-one's listening to a word you're saying Tim . # What's your problem ?
