"It's the pleasure of working with me"

Howard comes into the farmhouse, speaking on the phone;  “It’s not just tidy pay, it’s the pleasure of working with me, too.” The person on the other end of the phone does not seem to agree.   “Well, if you think of someone else, give me a shout.”

"Why aren't you at APD?"

Mathew immediately demands why he is not at APD;  

"Remember you're there to work"

“And remember you’re there to work, not to find a farm hand.”   

"Why did you agree to this nonsense?"

When Howard has gone, Mathew asks Sioned, “Why did you agree to this nonsense?”

“Because I want to give him the opportunity to succeed,” she angrily replies, 

"Try and show some support, will you?"

“Try and show some support, will you?”

Ieuan is still playing bingo

Ieuan is eating breakfast at number 7 and is still apparently addicted to his bingo game.   

Kelly is back from Merthyr

The door opens and Kelly comes in;  

"Why aren't you at APD?"

she drops her bag and asks him why he is not at APD.   

"Did you have a nice night with Rhys?"

He realises that it is time he was there and asks whether she had a nice night with Rhys.

"Exactly what I needed after ten hours with Mam!"

“Yes, chilled – exactly what I needed after an intense ten hours with Mam.”   He enquires how the house move went and Kelly imagines that it would take a whole day to tell him.   He maintains that everything is great at home, she hands him the keys and he leaves for work, 

"He's not telling me everything"

although she seems to think that he is not telling her everything.

"Why are you looking at Ows' Insta?"

At Y Felin, Indeg finds Lleucu busy with her phone;  “Why are you looking at Ows’ Insta?” she demands.   

"He's got a new girlfriend`'

Lleucu answers that he has a new girlfriend.   Indeg dismisses it with, “For a night or two – I don’t care – and I don’t know why you’re bothered either.   

"You need to do what I've done"

“You need to do what I’ve done – unfriend him and move on.”   Lleucu does not appear to take any notice.

Mathew has ventured out

Mathew has ventured outside with his crutches 

"You're supposed to be resting"

and is reprimanded by Sioned, “What are you doing out here?   You’re supposed to be resting.”   He advises that Griffiths has just phoned to say that there is no sign of Howard.

"Is trying to find a new farm hand"

“He’s out, trying to find a new farm hand, guaranteed!”   Sioned is desperate to talk about something else, but he explains, “It’s difficult because it’s the only thing on my mind – you know, our future.”

"When you're back at work . . ."

She assures him that when he is back at work, everything will be fine, but he reminds her that could take months.   “APD might have gone bankrupt by the time I get better.”

She urges him to let Howard sort things there and that things will get better;  

Mathew heads back inside

she encourages him to go back into the house.

"If that's how you feel, forget it!"

When Howard finally arrives at APD, he is telling someone on the phone, “If that’s how you feel, forget I phoned you!”

"You were supposed to be in first thing"

Ieuan complains that he was supposed to be in first thing, loading the van.   Howard wonders, “You don’t know of a good farm hand, do you?”

"Come on – a bit of work, please"

“No – come on, a bit of work, please – I don’t want to be here late again tonight,” Ieuan complains. 

Gwern wants colour charts

Then Gwern walks in, wanting colour charts;  “I need to find paint that matches the wall in The Pizza Place.”   

"Do you fancy a job?"

Ieuan goes to find them, while Howard asks, “Do you fancy a job?”

"I don't know the difference between a cow and a sheep'

“It depends what it is and how much you’re paying,” replies Gwern.   When he hears that the job is a farm hand at Penrhewl, he comments, “I don’t know the difference between a cow and a sheep.”   

Howard is willing to teach him that – and with his GCSE in business, he could help with the paperwork.   He is sure that they would make a good team.

"I'm reopening The Pizza Place"

“I’ve already got a job – I’m reopening The Pizza Place this weekend.”   

"I'll be back later"

Gwern will be back after seeing which colour suits best.

"You're more use than you're not here"

Then Ieuan turns to Howard;  “Is there any chance of you doing some work?   You’re more use when you’re not here at the moment.”   

Howard goes to load the van . . .

Howard goes out to load the van 

. . . while Ieuan resumes the bingo

and Ieuan returns to his favourite game on his phone.

"Don't expect too much from her today" 

Kelly is at Brynawelon, where she is told by Siwsi, “Don’t expect too much from her today – she had a bad night last night – she was awake every half hour.   I’ll keep an eye on her today, I promise.”

"I haven't seen you for ages"

Anita is pleased to see Kelly;  “I haven’t seen you for ages,” but it is pointed out that Kelly has only been gone for one day.

"I've been to Merthyr to see Mam"

She had to go to Merthyr to see Mam;  “Amanda, remember?

“And how is Amanda?   Has she got a new man?” Anita asks.   When told that she has not, 

"She must be losing her touch"

she continues, “She must be losing her touch.”

Kelly says she is right and that is why she had to go and help her mother move;  

"She's going to a hen do in Ibiza"

“And guess where she’s going now – a hen do in Ibiza – you should have seen what she was wearing!   I’ll show you a photo, shall I?”

"Is it dinner time?"

Anita sees Siwsi passing with the biscuits and imagines that it is dinner time, but Siwsi reminds her that she has had four biscuits already.

Anita confides to Kelly, “Don’t trust that one – she lies through her teeth.”   

"Who's that, then?"

By the time Kelly shows her the photo, Anita has forgotten who it is.   

"Mam – Amanda  – your sister"

“Mam – Amanda – your sister.”   Anita is surprised by that.

"Have you seen my phone anywhere?"

Lleucu comes downstairs, asking, “Have you seen my phone anywhere?”   

Indeg hands it to her

Indeg hands it to her.  

"What have you been doing with it?"

“What have you been doing on it?” is the next question.

"Something you should have done"

“Something you should have done!”   Lleucu finds that Ows has been deleted from her Insta;  “And Facebook and TikTok,” Indeg confirms.

"How did you get into my phone?"

“I don’t believe this – how did you get into my phone?   You had no right!”

"Cruel to be kind,`babes"

“Cruel to be kind, babes,” maintains Indeg, “And you really should have a better passcode than your date of birth.”

"He's going to think I'm a cow now!"

Lleucu panics, “He’s going to think I’m a cow now!”   However, Indeg is sure that he will not even notice, because he is a ‘dog’, who moves on from one girl to the next without caring.

"You're better off forgetting him"

“You’re better off forgetting about him – you need to move on, too.   Find someone nice, someone tidy.”   

"No-one like that would look at me"

Lleucu is convinced that no one like that would look at her, but she is assured by Indeg that she is gorgeous, “So get out there and find someone just as gorgeous – 

"But not Jordan from Trimsaran"

“but not Jordan from Trimsaran, because I’ve already bagged him!”

"Checking up on me, are you/"

Sioned comes into APD, where Howard suspects that she is checking up on him.   She actually wants to apologise for Mathew, who is under a lot of strain and is worried about the future.  

"You can help by pulling your weight here"

“But you can help him by pulling your weight here.   I know you work hard., so that is why I’m going to help you find a farm hand.”

Ieuan is finishing early

Ieuan advises that he is going to finish early today, but hopes that Sioned  will not tell the boss.   Howard wants to know where he is going;  

"To spend time with my wife"

“Not that it’s any business of yours, but to spend time with my wife,” is the reply.

"Gwern's not interested"

Sioned wants the list of the people Howard has phoned and wants to phone;  he advises that he has tried Gwern, but he was not interested.   

"What about this Dorian?"

“What about this Dorian?” she asks, “There’s no number here for him,” she asks.   

"He's a bit of a liability"

Howard is not sure that he wants to try him as he is a bit of a liability.   Sioned will see what she can do with the list.

Lleucu arrives at Maes-y-Deri 

Gwern is surprised to see Lleucu at Maes-y-Deri;  

"I thought its was time for a catch-up"

“It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for ages so I thought it was time for a catch-up.”   

"Are you on your own?"

She enquires whether he is on his own, 

Gwern is suspicious 

and he looks rather suspicious.

"Do you have any cans?"

“Do you want a drink?” he asks, so she wonders if he has any cans, as she says she is in the mood to relax.

"Don't go, Kelly"

Now it is time for Kelly to leave Auntie Anita, but she pleads, “Don’t go.”   Ieuan has just arrived and Kelly is going to meet Rhys.

"You've got better company now"

“You’ve got better company now, because do you know who’s just arrived?   Ieuan.”   

"How are you feeling today?"

However, when he asks how Anita is feeling today, 

Anita ignores him

she turns away and ignores him.

"So long, Kell"

Kelly advises her to be nice and Anita mournfully tells her, “So long, Kell.”

"I expect you've had all the news from Merthyr"

Ieuan sits in the next chair and is sure that Anita has had all the news from Merthyr, but Anita continues to look the other way.    He asks if she has had dinner.

"Lasagne for dinner tonight"

Siwsi informs him that it is lasagne today and Anita will love it, 

"Why don't you have a game of cards?"

then suggests that they could have a game of cards together to keep them busy until the food is ready.   

"I want a nap – now!"

Anita shakes her head and declares that she wants a nap, “Now!”

She is taken back to her room . . .

Ieuan says that he will come back tomorrow and Siwsi helps Anita back to her room, while he watches, 

. . . while Ieuan feels lonely

feeling increasingly lonely.

Lleucu has found more drinks in the fridge,,,,

At Maes-y-Deri, they have already got through a can each and Lleucu is fetching two more from the fridge;  Gwern tells her that they are Mark’s cans, so she says she will buy him some more.

"I heard about the exam"

“I heard about the exam,” he says, “I just don’t understand why you cheated – you’re brainy.”   

"I was looking at Insta"

She explains that she was looking at Insta, because the boys had been making fun of her as she wanted to check the photo.

"You're a lot more sensible"

She assures him that he is too sensible to do something like that, “A lot more sensible.”   

"If it weren't for Dad, we'd still be together"

Gwern is feeling rather uncomfortable as she goes on, “If it wasn’t for Dad, the two of us would still be together.”

He appears to be doubtful about this, but she is insistent.

"This isn't your job"|

Sioned is not having any success with Howard’s list and is told by Mathew, “This isn’t your job.”   She stresses that by helping Howard to find a farm hand, she is helping him to save APD.

"How's he going to afford a farm hand?"

“How is he going to afford a farm hand or even to rent this place?   You and Cassie wrote his business plan.”   

"No – I only checked it"

Sioned insists that she only checked it;  she cannot understand why Mathew will not give Howard a chance.

"I just don't think the timing is right"

“I’m not against the idea – I just don’t think the timing is right,” 

"You're being selfish here"

so she accuses him of being selfish.   “My priority is APD – you must be able to see that,” he insists.

"Well, you can help Howard find a farm hand"

“Well, if it’s such a priority, you can help Howard find a farm hand,” she tell him, handing over the phone and the list.   

"There's nothing wrong with your mouth"

“Perhaps you can’t move, but there’s nothing wrong with your mouth.   Until we find a farm hand, I have to do all the farming around here – on top of everything else!”

"You're so kind, Gwern"

Lleucu is still complimenting Gwern;  “You’re so kind – you always have been.”   

"What are you doing?"

When she considers the time is right, she leans forward to kiss him, but he shies away, demanding what she is doing.

"You want me, don't, you?"

“You want me, don't you?” she demands, 

"How about we slow down a bit?"

so he gets up and suggests they slow down a bit.   

“You’re just like Ows!” she moans, “You pretend to want me and then reject me.”

"I didn't pretend anything"

He points out that he did not pretend anything, but she made a move.   

"With pleasure, pig!"

She insists that he misled her, so he suggests that she should leave;  “With pleasure, pig!” she exclaims, as she goes.

"Do you want the same again?"

In the Deri, Ieuan is going to have the same again, but Howard has to go and sort out a farm hand.   

"How did it go with Auntie Neet?"

Kelly comes in, asking how it went with Auntie Neet.   

He lies about it

He lies that they played rummy and that Anita destroyed him.   Kelly refuses a drink, as she is there to get a bottle, because she is staying with Rhys tonight;  she will see him tomorrow.

His empty glass is removed . . .

Ieuan sits in solitude at the bar as his empty glass 

. . . and a full one takes its place

is replaced by a full one.

Indeg has not made dinner

Lleucu returns to Y Felin;  Indeg is pleased to see her, as she was worried it was Siwsi and she has not made dinner.   

"I feel great, thanks to you!"

“I feel great, thanks to you!” snarls Lleucu, so Indeg wonders what she has done now.

"I just wanted to check you're OK"

Gwern arrives outside the door, wanting to check that Lleucu is OK;  Indeg opens the door.   Lleucu maintains that she is fine;  

"I don't know what came over me"

“I don’t know what came over me trying to snog you, of all people!   Just go, will you?   Dad was right – you’re a waste of space.”   Indeg regards that as rather harsh.

He takes the hint and leaves

When he has gone, 

"You told me to make a move on him"

Lleucu insists, “You told me to make a move on him – you told me to find someone!”

"Not tonight – and not your best friend"

Indeg points out that she did not mean tonight and she definitely did not mean Lleucu’s best friend.   

"So it's my fault for being naïve again?"

“So it’s my fault, is it?   For being naïve again?”    She storms off upstairs, 

"Grow up!"

while Indeg mutters under her breath, “Grow up!”

"No-one is available"

When Howard gets back to the farm, he asks whether they have had any success with the list.   Mathew answers that no-one is available and they have phoned everyone.   

"It might be an idea to contact that Dorian"

Sioned suggests, “It might be a good idea to contact that Dorian.”

"I don't think so"

Howard already has his number, so is told to phone him, but he is reluctant to do so.   

Sioned wants to know what exactly is the problem with him.   

"He's a bit of a liability"

“He’s a good worker – knows his stuff – but, as I said, he’s a bit of a liability.”

"What sort of liability"

Mathew comments sarcastically that sounds like just what they want;  Sioned wants to enquire further into what sort of liability he means.   “Nothing major – he likes to have a few pints – and then things get out of hand.”

"He'll be dealing with cows and sheep"

Sioned points out that he will be dealing with cows and sheep there;  “What he chooses to do in his own time is up to him – so phone him!   We’ll see you in the morning.”   

Howard dials his number"

Howard dials the number.

"If we get kicked out because of this . . ."

At Y Felin, Siwsi comes back and finds the place in quite a state;  “I can’t believe you haven’t made dinner – if we get kicked out because of this mess . . .”

"We've got a situation here"

“I haven’t done anything, because we’ve got a situation here!” says Indeg, just as Lleucu comes downstairs.

"Talking about me again?"

“Talking about me again, are you?”   Indeg replies that she has just been saying that Lleucu has had a tough day, 

"Especially with you!"

but she does not want to talk about it, especially with Indeg.

"I can give you a makeover tomorrow"

Indeg proposes that she can give Lleucu a makeover tomorrow, then the boys will be queueing up.   

"Aren't I pretty enough already?"

“Aren’t I pretty enough already without fake tan and eyeshadow?” Lleucu demands.

"You're stunning, babes"

“That’s not what I meant – you’re already stunning, but if I help with your make up, perhaps it will give you more confidence.”   Lleucu simply walks away.

Ieuan is relaxing . . .

In the darkness at number 7, Ieuan is relaxing in the armchair, 

naturally playing his favourite bingo game.   

 . . .and winning, this time

The voice from the phone declares, “Congratulations – you’ve just won £50!”   

He discovered that it is 2:00am . . .

He looks quite pleased about that, then checks his watch to find that it is just a couple of minutes before two in the morning.   

. . . but still continues

Nevertheless, he picks up the phone and the voice continues, “OK, get ready for another game.”

Lleucu is lying on the sofa . . .

Meanwhile on the sofa at Y Felin, Lleucu is drinking a bottle of water this time;  

. . . looking at herself . . .

she looks at herself 

. . . on the phone screen

on the phone 

She is disillusioned

and appears very disillusioned.
