No, I'm sorry. No, it's not making sense. You'll have to explain properly.

Honestly... Is everything okay, Helen? No, unfortunately not. The school are insisting I go there straight away. It's about Jack. I can tell it's a waste of time, but the secretary isn't having any of it. That's annoying. It's worse than that, Jakob, because I'm supposed to be... I said I'd take Kirsty to her 12-week scan. Who is that today? Peggy.

I was. But where's Eric? He missed his connecting flight, so he won't land in the UK till tonight. Typical of my brother. Why didn't he come a day earlier? But the thing is, I don't want Kirsty going alone. No, no, perhaps not. She's feeling quite, well, very anxious about it all. Anxious slash terrified. There's a difficult history, isn't there? This could not be worse timing, Jakob. I promised she wouldn't be on her own.

I wouldn't mind, but Jack says they were picking on a year two boy, so he had to intervene. Good for him. But obviously the bullies have a different story, so in the meantime... They sent them all home. Yeah, so unfair. Well, I'm not sure fairness is the top priority at school. When my kids were little anyway. Yes, the deputy head. She's clearly been overworked since the head went off sick.

She looked like she was going to cry. Oh dear. But I'm pretty sure Jack's telling the truth, so I can't just let it go. Right. Well, I hope Jack's okay. Yeah, he's fine. Mum's popping over to keep an eye this afternoon.

Sorry to talk over the fence to you like this. Oh, that's okay. So what time do you want to do our experimental cheese session? Whenever you're ready, Helen. Oh, but should we say three o'clock? Do you need a lift? No, no, no, no. I'll make my own waiter. I'll see you later. Oh, Tracy, do you think you're any nearer to a decision about the job? I need to talk it through with the family. Yeah, sure, I get that, but...

If you could give me an answer by Thursday, that would be wonderful. Otherwise, mum thinks we should advertise. Thursday. Okay, thank you. See you later then. Oh, more roadworks. Filling potholes again by the looks of it. Hallelujah. Rex thinks leaving craters in the road is a deliberate strategy to slow traffic down. Ends up like being some kind of slalom. It does. But how many four-way temporary lights do we need on one journey? Hmm?
