‘Hello, are you looking for something?’
‘oh no I was just admiring your dog, he’s gorgeous, what’s his name’
‘Thankyou, his name is Pippin…I know he doesn’t look much like a Pippin but he did when he was a puppy….oh Pippin not in front of visitor’s, please’



‘well at least he’s going outside…sorry about that’
haha that’s fine, he doesn’t know any better’
‘I don’t think I’ve seen you before, are you new to the neighbourhood’
‘yes, I just moved in a few days ago and I haven’t met anyone yet’
‘well I was just about to make some lunch and my friend should be back in a minute if you’d like to join us? ….

….ah you really don’t need to do that’



‘I’ll take Keira inside now, I might put her in bed, see if she’ll have a sleep’
‘that seems unlikely with people coming over but you can give it a try…I prepared some lasagna earlier, would you be able to pop it in the oven while you’re inside’

It’s started snowing again. Weird weather we’re having lately. Here comes Jane with the neighbours now.

They’re really checking Jane out…she seems to have that effect on men.



‘Em this is Brian and Liam, guys this is Emalita’
‘Hi, nice to meet you, how are you finding Riverblossom Hills? No doubt Jane has filled you in on all the absurdness of the place…oh this is my husband Dave….speaking of which, hun, why are you in your swim shorts??’
‘I just went for a dip in the pool’
‘Are you mad?? I’ts snowing for Christ sake, plus you were coughing before’



‘Geez Dave’
‘Good to meet you Brian, Liam, don’t mind my wife, she’s really quite sweet once you get to know her….Ow…what! It was a compliment’
‘let’s get inside out of this cold, Dave just put a lasagna in the oven, I hope everyone’s hungry’



‘I can’t believe you went for a swim in the freezing cold, are you out of your mind?’
‘I only jumped in and got straight back out again’
‘well don’t go wining at me when you get sick, now go and put some clothes on before you catch pneumonia’
