How does Olen Shannon Maldonado describe his experience with Shopify?
Olen Shannon Maldonado, käsintehtyjä artesaanituotteita myyvän Jaui lahjakaupan perustaja. Valitsin Shopify, koska alustoja testatessani totesin sen ehdottomasti yhdeksi helppokäyttöisimmistä alustoista. Minulla oli tärkeää pohtia kehittymistämme tulevaisuudessa. Kaikki myyntiin tarvittavat työkalut, kuten varaston suunnittelu, ovat kätevästi dashboardissa.

You're listening to Friday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4.
How do the characters plan for the baby's room setup?
MUSIC
Can you believe there's actually going to be a baby sleeping in this cot?
Hopefully not just any old baby. George. OK, what have you got?
What concerns do the characters have about the living situation?
120 centimetres.
So that's 120 by 60.
Which should fit perfectly beside the window once we moved our bed.
Is that OK, though? What about drafts?
If it fits along the opposite wall, that might be better.
Let's go and check. Bring the measuring tape. Ah, there you are.
Oh, hi, Will. Any chance you could do me a favour? What is it?
How do the characters feel about family involvement in their lives?
Well, Poppy needs white masking tape for doing the stenciling and she says Susan has some.
Do you mind nipping over there and picking it up? Well, does she need it right now? We're about to go and measure up the bedroom, see where the cot will fit. Well, you know what she's like once she's got going on something.
I saw her design. Hedgerow fruits. It's perfect. Can't Poppy go herself?
Oh, you'll be lucky if you can drag her away from the telly. All right, then. Do you want to come with me, Amber?
Yeah. I've been sitting behind the tills all day.
What are the implications of having a baby in a small home?
I could do with a walk.
I really think we should have called ahead, warned her we were coming.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Anne-Marie.
I'm joking.
I could message her now and tell her we're almost there.
It's perfectly reasonable that I want to see for myself where our grandchild will be living.
How do past experiences shape the characters' parenting concerns?
Well, it's a small house, but very nice by the village green.
The size of the house doesn't matter, but I do want to see what the setup is. Who's living there? Who's coming in and out?
You're worried it might not be safe.
I'm sure the Grundys are very nice people. But it's one thing shacking up with your boyfriend in his dad's house when you're young and carefree. Quite another bringing a baby into that environment.
I don't think you should mention any alternatives today, though.
Of course not. Think of this as more of a scouting mission. The more we know, the better we can present her with other options once the baby's born.
What was your grandad saying about Brian?
He's been seeing my praises in the bull. Well, our praises. Apparently, he thinks we've done a decent job promoting the show. Wow. To be honest, it feels a bit weird to be in Brian Aldridge's good books. Oh, no. Guess what? We've only gone and forgotten the masking tape.
No, we haven't. I've got it here, in my pocket.
Oh, you...
So, this is George and Amber's room. It used to be mine, but we've swapped so they get a bit more space.
That's very kind of you, Will.
I'd have got them to tidy up a bit if I'd have known you were coming.
Not to worry.
It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. We were just passing. Hold on, let me just shift my toolbox. I've been building this storage unit in the alcove. Somewhere to keep all the baby clothes.
Are they hoping to fit a crib in here too?
I suppose they'll have a Moses basket at first, but I think the cot will go here, at the end of the bed. Oh, it'll be a tight squeeze. It'll be all right once George clears out his gaming stuff.
Am I right that you've got a daughter too, Polly?
Poppy, yeah. She's in the room next to mine. She's hoping the baby will share with her when it's a bit older.
How old is she?
Twelve. I mean, she loves babies and children.
She might feel differently once she hits the teenage years.
Maybe.
And of course, Amber and George might have a place of their own by then.
They might. I'm happy to have them here as long as they need. That's good of you, Will. We're extremely grateful. Don't be daft. It's a pleasure having Amber here. Hey, come downstairs and I'll show you what George has been up to.
