22 January 1998

Characters: Caroline, Clarrie, David, Kathy, Pat, Phil, Sid

• Phil’s keeping himself busy around the farm – David notices and drags him off for a pint. While Phil can’t pretend to be happy, David merely asks that he accept the decision with better grace. David’s even offering to sell the big red tractor because the lack of estate work makes it a little superfluous.
• Caroline passes on the news of Sean’s offer to Sid and Kathy. Sid is not amused and stomps off in a tizz.
• Pat was right to have worried about Tommy – he crawled in at two looking like he’s been through a swamp, he made it to college this morning, although she’s worried that he’s not going to stick at that for too long.
• Sid returns and Kathy is not happy. While she knows what the Bull means to him, she’s adamant that Christmas was a waste of everyone’s time and that she’s fed-up with all the penny-pinching and excuses.
