Yeah, Helen sent us a video this morning shot through the Bridge Forum Dairy window. Nana and Tracy look great.

Well, Pip's quite into it actually. But no I'm all think in a drag brunch or come dress as your female crush, or come as your favourite Madonna. Your favourite Madonna? Yeah, I could so see Stella as cowboy Madonna. Come on, it's got to be worth it for that alone. An, I could be Madonna in the bath. Oh. I've got this great game. Pin the distinguishing feature on the character who inspired your gay Awakening A bit of a mouthful. Oh cheh. It's like pin the tail on the donkey, but instead you pin the breastplate to the warrior Princess Zina. Or the glasses on Rachel Vise in the mummy. Oh or the blaz are on Scully. Let's face it. anything on Jillian Anderson works. Oh but the exX files Isn't this all a bit well stereotypically lesbian? It's a lesbian hen, Chris. who's in the title? I just think you could be a bit more creative. Oh, is that a challenge? Yeah, if you like. Okay. We've got just over forty eight hours till our next dayate. Let's each present an idea over dinner when we hang out on Thursday, and whoever loses pays. Who's going to judge? we'll figure it out when we're there Mr. Carter, do you accept the challenge? With pleasure, Miss Sumers. Nope Ive gott to take this, sorry. David. Oh you got your phone then? Yeah. Listen, Chrismate. Are you still about? We're just down by the Farriers competition tent. I'm on one of the equestrian rings, Casey Me I think there's something you need to see It's been gone a while. A B bit of a tre to the lose, ain't it Seems happy though, doesn't he? You liked my idea about building the display around his classic car. He was being polite. He can't put his own car on the sales display. It's a stupid idea. Well, he won't actually be selling anything, will he? It's to attract people to the dealership. I'm still figuring out how I'm writing a promo piece on my dad's business and being his personal VIP host me weren't? Yes, I'd work that out, George. When your mum came around last week with the bronies, I did a bit of upselling. We didn't agree nothing. She said she had to discuss it with Bill. told me not to tell you. Bet she did. I thought this was what you wanted. You reached out to them? Yes, on my terms. I deliberately didn't offer them platinum because I didn't want them laording it over me. And I didn't want to spend any more time with them than was absolutely necessary. now you've got me chained to them for a whole day. Bail at twelve o'clock. This is not over. Oh sorry about that ve got toa get back to the showroom in a bit. Just so we're clear, fifteen cars and some promotional flags and banners. I'll even see what I can do about chucking in another classical or two. Soounds great. doesnesn't it, Amber? You know what you're doing, dad? Great. Do you wan to walk me to the car? It's literally there Humour me, My male may not have a surprise for you. What mum hiding in the booth feels like that kind of dead? Sure So I'll see you tomorrow then, dad for the promo interview. J white a sick Dad? A synth cot. Part of this sleeping lion' range. Call it a baby shower present. This must have cost a bomb.'re paying for quality though. It rocks at four different speeds as a customizable playlist, all linked up to an app so you can monitor the baby's sleep. We can play them all that classical stuff. Make sure they're a genius Namber. We've already got a cot from George's family. Y mum saw it I think you're being a bit ungrateful, love Between this and the sponsorship, you're setting us back ten grands. Oh 'cause that's what we are, isn't it? An investment. An investment that you've obviously put a lot of thought into And we're very grateful, aren't we, Amber What do you think, Chris It's not looking great, is it? It's how it feels, it worries me. The ground's rock hard. There's no way we can have horses competing on here. It's not safe. I'm guessing it's the same on the other rings. Yeah. Of course you had all the winds last week, but no rain. I'm sorry it's not better news. Well, it's not your fault, is it But I won't lie. I really don't need this. Not after that ash tree branch came down. When it rains it pours. Or in this case, not at all. A Can I do anything, David? I could ask around. There' got to be someone who can help. I'm meant to have a job a little Croxy at hal three. It's a bit late but I could try reschedule. No, no, Danby said, it's not your job to sort And anyway, we're not going to solve this to day. I just think this is a bit of an overreaction. Unbelievable. It's a nice bit of kit. Are you that easily bought?
