| "Post for you, Sheryl" |
Sheryl returns from a shopping trip, and Mark follows her in with the post; she detects that he is troubled,
 |
| "I've got a lot on my mind" |
and he admits, “I’ve got a lot on my mind at the moment.”
 |
| "How is Ricky?" |
Sheryl realises that the inquest is tomorrow, and asks how Ricky is. “He doesn’t say a lot,” replies Mark, and leaves to continue on his round.
 |
| "Yes, on Friday morning" |
Garry is on the phone, and says, “Yes, on Friday morning.” When Dani comes in, he ends the call,
 |
| "The accounts are looking better" |
and tells her that the accounts, displayed on the laptop in front of him, are looking better. Dani is not surprised, considering all the hard work she has put in.
 |
| "The word 'Valentine's' was spelled wrong!" |
She admonishes him for the Valentine’s stuff he bought; “Some of the banners even had ‘Valentine’s’ spelled wrong!” He emphasises that the purpose was to make money,
 |
| "There's not enough of that around here!" |
and she grumbles, “I thought it was to celebrate love and romance – there’s not enough of that around here!”
 |
| "We're going out tonight!" |
Garry then reveals that they are going out tonight; “I’ve booked a taxi, the table and champagne. Mathew and Vicky can look after the bar.”
Dani is disappointed; “Do we have to go? I’m tired – I’m going to the inquest tomorrow, so I want an early night. Can’t we have a night in, just the two of us, so you can have the romance and champagne?
 |
| "We'll have a Cwm Delhi special!" |
“Cancel the restaurant, and we’ll have a Cwm Delhi special instead!”
 |
| "Chocolate or plain biscuits?" |
Kath arrives at APD with two packets of biscuits, neither of them Garibaldis, which are Dai’s favourites. She thanks him for his help yesterday, but he dismisses it.
 |
| "You're a nice bloke" |
“Credit where it’s due,” she insists, “You’re a nice bloke, no matter how much you pretend not to be.”
 |
| "It's as busy as the cemetery in here" |
Dai, who is playing patience, tells her, “It’s as busy as Cwmderi cemetery in here today. I’ve had better days – you don’t know the half of it.” She assumes that he is speaking about Diane,
 |
| "Not a word from Diane" |
and he confirms, “Not a word from her – I know it’s my fault, but how can I apologise if she won’t pick up the phone?”
 |
| "How's your Poker?" |
Kath has the answer; “Right, I’ll make a cup of tea, you close the shop, because no-one wants to buy your tools today. How’s your Poker? You shuffle the cards – properly this time!”
 |
| Dai is amused |
Dai smiles.
 |
| "I'm working at the Deri tonight" |
Vicky has had her hair done, in preparation for working in the Deri, but Sheryl commiserates that there will not be much talent in there.
 |
| "A woman's hair is her crowning glory!" |
“Looking your best gives you confidence,” asserts Vicky, “You know what they say – a woman’s hair is her crowning glory!”
 |
| Hywel has been toy-buying |
Hywel comes in with a large bag of toys for the Parents’ and Toddlers’ group at two this afternoon. Vicky is looking forward to it.
 |
| Dai obviously chose the chocolate biscuits |
Dai and Kath are playing for nails;
 |
| "I won a good man in Dyff" |
she ponders, “Life is all about winning and losing – I won in love, I won a good man in Dyff – and I won a lot of money –
 |
| "I lost a blooming lot as well!" |
“but then I lost a blooming lot as well!” Dai predicts she is also going to lose here, if she does not start playing cards.
“I won something valuable yesterday,” she continues, “A good friend!”
 |
| The stakes are getting high |
He bets another five nails,
 |
| Kath has a losing hand . . . |
then she puts down her losing hand,
 |
| . . . but laughs loudly |
and laughs uproariously.
 |
| "Come with me next weekend!" |
“Why don’t you come with me next weekend?” Dai asks,
 |
| "Dai Ashurst!" |
and seeing her reproving look, adds, “No – not like that – up to Murrayfield! I’ve got tickets – it was Diane’s idea – there’s a bus going from the club. You don’t have to pay anything, as I’ve already paid for the bus, hotel, tickets – everything, and I won’t get anything back if I cancel.
 |
| "I'll think about it" |
She agrees to think about it, and insists she will buy him a drink in the Deri tonight.
 |
| "I think Esther enjoyed it" |
It appears that the Parents’ and Toddlers’ group was a success, and some of the parents are going to the Deri later, Hywel tells Sheryl.
 |
| "I'm cooking a special meal for you" |
She, however, does not want to go, as she says she is preparing a special meal for him. “Do I need an excuse to spoil the man I love?” she asks,
 |
| "You go and enjoy yourself" |
and sends him off to enjoy himself.
Dai arrives at the Deri and tells Mark he should have been warned about Kath, as they have been playing Poker.
 |
| "Dani doesn't accept nails" |
Kath regrets that her winnings will only be any good if Dani accepts nails at the bar,
 |
| "Do stop fussing, Mark!" |
and tells Mark to stop fussing about her.
 |
| Hywel arrives at the bar |
When Hywel arrives, Vicky says she will buy him a drink to thank him for this afternoon.
 |
| "Does Sheryl know about this?" |
“Does Sheryl know about this?” enquires Kath.
 |
| "Cut her a bit of slack, Mark" |
Meanwhile, Dai is trying to allay Mark’s concerns about his mother; “Cut her a bit of slack,” he advises, “She’s been looking after me to be honest – we understand each other, all right?”
 |
| "I'm coming to Scotland!" |
Kath brings their drinks and announces, “I’ve made a decision – I’m coming to Scotland!” Dai looks pleased, but Mark is adamant that she cannot go.
 |
| "It's not Gretna Green!" |
“We’re only going to watch a rugby match – not to Gretna Green!” she protests, but Mark forbids her from going anywhere near Scotland.
 |
| Vicky is having problems . . . |
Vicky seems to be having difficulties with a beer pump,
 |
| . . . so Mathew assists her |
and is given some ‘up close and personal’ hands-on assistance from Mathew. He admits, “We got off to a bad start, but if we are going to work together,
 |
| "No hard feelings?" |
“it’s important that we’re friends. No hard feelings?” Vicky smiles.
 |
| Sounds like a illicit car deal |
Garry is again on the phone and informs someone, “The plates are ready.”
 |
| "Britt's on her way to the hospital with Gloria" |
Dani comes in and is told that the call was from Britt, who is on the way to the hospital in Newcastle.
 |
| "We should hire a kilt for you to wear" |
Dani has had an idea; “We should hire a kilt for you to wear in the bar next week – come on – they’re sexy, and you might be out of plaster by then.”
 |
| "There's no way I'm wearing a skirt!" |
Garry will not entertain the possibility of wearing a skirt behind the bar.
 |
| "Have another pint, Mark" |
Kath brings another round of drinks, but Mark stresses that they will not change his mind; Kath pleads that it is only a rugby game.
 |
| "He's got a dodgy history on rugby trips!" |
Then Hywel comes over to warn her about Dai, as he has a dodgy history on rugby trips.
 |
| "You're the only dodgy one round here!" |
Kath turns and snarls, “Dai is a gentleman – the only dodgy bloke I can see in here is you!”
 |
| "I shall have to get rid of the tickets somewhere" |
Dai laments that if she cannot come, he will have to get rid of the tickets somewhere, and it would be better if Mark trusted his mother a bit more.
 |
| They have successfully worn Mark down |
After more pleading from both of them, Mark eventually capitulates.
 |
| "Och aye the noo!" |
“Och aye the noo!” exclaims Kath.
 |
| More hair has been shed |
While cooking, Sheryl pushes back her hair, and inevitably finds some strands in her hand. Hywel returns and is impressed by the meal she has prepared;
 |
| Hywel is impressed with Ossobuco |
Ossobuco (veal shanks braised with vegetables) and Risotto alla Milanese; he realises she has gone to a lot of trouble.
 |
| "I've got to hold on to the local hero!" |
“I have to if I’m going to hold on to the local hero!” she replies.
 |
| "I have enjoyed myself today" |
As the customers leave the Deri, Vicky admits that she has enjoyed herself, and thanks Mathew for helping her.
 |
| "You're the perfect barmaid" |
“You’re the perfect barmaid,” he tells her, “I’m sorry I’ve been such an idiot.”
She tells him that they have agreed to be friends and wants to leave it at that, but he asks, “What if I don’t want to leave it at that,”
 |
| "I've wanted to do that all night" |
and kisses her. “I’ve wanted to do that all night – and I think you feel the same.”
 |
| Then they hear a voice |
As they are about to kiss again, they hear a grumble from Garry,
 |
| "Do your socialising in your own time!" |
“All right – Valentine’s Day was yesterday – I’d prefer it if you did your socialising in your own time! Pass me a bottle of the expensive Rioja –
 |
| They look as if they are going to behave . . . |
“enjoy your evening – and behave!”
 |
| "I caught those two snogging!" |
Garry goes back upstairs and tells Dani, “I caught those two snogging – that’s not very professional!”
 |
| "About time there was some romance behind that bar" |
Dani considers that it is about time there was some romance behind the bar.
 |
| "We're like a pair of old fogeys" |
“We’re like a pair of old fogeys – you can’t walk, and I can’t keep awake,” Dani says. Garry suggests that she should not go to the inquest,
 |
| "Why is Jim suddenly your best buddy?" |
and wonders why Jim is suddenly her best buddy; she is always complaining about being tired.
“And why am I tired?” she demands, “Because you make me slave all day! You didn’t even notice my new top!”
 |
| "I might even wear a skirt!" |
Garry promises that as soon as he is better he will spoil her rotten, adding, “And I might even wear a skirt!”
 |
| Hywel is having problems chewing this |
Sheryl is disappointed that the meal is not a success; “There’s too much salt in the rice –
 |
| "I don't know what I did wrong" |
“and the meat is like leather – I don’t know what I did wrong!” Hywel suggests that they clear up, and as soon as he has had a shower, they can go to bed.
 |
| "I'm sleeping in Esther's room" |
Sheryl announces that she will be sleeping in Esther’s room tonight; “I’m worried about her bad stomach – and I don’t see her as much, now that I’m working. I want to spend some time with her.”
Hywel goes up for his shower,
 |
| More hair in the hairclip |
and Sheryl is distressed when she removes the clip from her hair, and finds more loose hairs.
