Village show

What will we blog about?

Scott: I don’t know.

Anything we did…

Scott: How about we blog about that?

What?

Scott: That festival thing.

The village show we went to in the afternoon?

Scott: Yeah, yeah, yeah…

It was the Portobello village show – how was it?

Scott: It was okay.

Apart from Helen getting stung by a wasp.

Scott: Yeah. Why don’t you bring your camera to anywhere any more?

I do, but I just didn’t want to lug it about today.

Scott: Okay.

Are you worried you won’t be able to do a drawing?

Scott: That’s what I’m worried about. Why don’t we just scan the little envelope? Don’t scan the actual thing because people could photocopy it.

You mean the prize you won in the tombola?

Scott: Only scan the envelope…

You won a meal for two.

Scott: Yeah.

And Helen won a tablecloth.

Scott: (laughs)

What a strange prize…

Scott: I can’t see why anyone would need a tablecloth – especially Helen.

She can be quite a messy eater…

Scott: Yeah, but… I thought she was a messy drinker.

Any other highlights?

Scott: Well, not really.

The old train set?

Scott: Yeah – that was okay.

Getting a couple of comic books.

Scott: I guess so.

And going to the amusements in the morning.

Scott: Yeah.

Best bit of the day?

Scott: Maybe the amusements, I’m not sure.

How many tickets did you win?

Scott: Quite a lot – I think it was about 50. Helen only got 17 – for a third less.

A third less?

Scott: Yeah.

Less spent than you?

Scott: Yeah.

It’s still a rip-off though…

Scott: Hmm…

Mainly sharks

Scott’s shark…

What are we talking about?

Scott: Any suggestions?

Don’t know…

Scott: What could we talk about?

Helen: Sharks.

Sharks?

Scott: Okay.

Helen, what’s a shark?

Scott: A shark is an animal with gills and a big fin at the top.

Helen: And it has very sharp teeth.

Scott: Here’s some advice: if you’re scared of sharks, you shouldn’t be afraid of sharks because you should… Because they’re actually very intelligent creatures that would never hurt you unless their life depended on it.

Did we not talk about this recently?

Helen: No.

Scott: Well…

Helen: No.

Scott: Well, the same with snakes, but never mind.

Helen: And spiders and tarantulas.

Scott: You’d be more likely to be killed by a bee than a shark.

Helen: No, a wasp.

Scott: Be quiet – you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Helen: Next question!

Do you know any jokes about wasps?

Helen: Let me think… Why did the wasp go to the doctor’s?

Scott: Don’t know.

Helen: Because it wasn’t stinging well.

Scott: Not funny. Where does a wasp go when it’s sick?

Helen: Don’t know.

Scott: The waspital.

Helen: Not funny.

Scott: You have to admit it is.

Helen: Wasp? Waspital? Come on!

Scott: And have you ever seen a wasp that wasn’t stinging well?

… A little bit scarier than Helen’s.
