Well the medical profession is doing its worse. The gall bladder was taken away in November and I was signed off as fit to travel (which is about all I normally do these days). Last Wednesday the first hand operation (Duputreyn’s contraction correction) took place and typing is now mainly left handed plus one finger of my right hand which means converting this week’s chortles on the DumTeeDum podcast to some semblance of reality is even more difficult than normal! Next up is the left hand of course.
Housing problems outweigh farming matters in the Village at the moment. Roy and Kirsty have very new noisy neighbours – perhaps Kirsty should indulge in some lusty sex sessions to redress the balance and inject some life into dull Welsh Phil. Toby is a regular house guest at Rickyard. Peggy needs a house guest at the Lodge because she is lonely. Ed and Emma have a new “affordable” house – can they actually “afford” it? And surely as longer term local residents Brian and Jenny are more entitled to an “affordable” house? Finally of course Eddie and Clarrie have suddenly realised that paying for Grange Farm without the Ed/Emma input is almost impossible. Eddie Grundy is 68 and Clarrie is 65 this year – how can they even consider retiring? It remains crowded at Jim’s as well as at Number One the Green. What we need is a visit from Kirstie and Phil who will no doubt consider the location very desirable. And if the Beechwood development is so nearly finished how come we have not heard potential buyers enthusing over the quality of food available at the village shop and the quantity of gossip at the Organic Farm Shop (sub-editor please check that is right).
Meanwhile Helen is going up Heydon Berrow? Not like Laser Quest or Les Soeurs Heureux or even Lakey Hill is it? Poor Lee.

On this week’s episode we hear views from Master Miles, Red Agnes, Monty, Claire, Glynn, Quilted Bunny and Witherspoon.
I think when you include the dearly departed souls in the cemetery, we still don’t have 800 residents. No more than 799 or thereabout.
You’re forgetting the new developments like Glebelands and Grange Spinney, they haven’t marked out how many houses are on those developments but they would be quite a few houses.
