Cwmderi Diary 2016: 14 January 2016

"I can't decide what to take"

Angela tells Eifion that she cannot decide what to pack for their trip, so he suggests they go shopping for new clothes.

"Spending money like water again?"

Sioned, who is passing, comments, “Spending money like water again? New clothes, Las Vegas – you’ve found your Prince Charming!”

As she approaches the Deri,

"I'll finish early tonight"

Dewi’s car pulls up and, after being promised that he will finish work early tonight, Vicky alights.

"Told him you kiss other people's partners?"

“Have you told him you kiss other people’s partners?” enquires Sioned. Vicky hurries away.

"Is it coming by horse and cart?"

At Bryntirion, Sara is chasing up a delivery; “Is it coming by horse and cart? If it doesn’t arrive, we won’t be ordering from you again!” Dai has just made a sandwich, but as he goes to fetch his cup of tea, Jason snaffles it.

“More mustard next time, Dai!” he quips,

Dai likens Jason to a convict

and Dai accuses him of fraternising with the convicts ‘down under’. Jason tells Sara that he cannot put the shelves up, as he has to go cycling in preparation for the ride to Caernarfon.

"Be careful with those saddles"

“Be careful with those saddles – they’re no good for men, if you know what I mean,” warns Dai.

“Jason answers, “It’s only penny-farthings like you ride that make men shoot blanks!” When Jason goes, Dai promises to help with the shelves; “That clown is obsessed with babies!” he comments.

Eifion is getting excited about their journey,

Eifion thinks Angela is losing interest

but senses that Angela is less eager, although she professes that there is nothing wrong. “How can I not be excited?” she asks.

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

“Is there something you’re not telling me?” pleads Eifion, “If you think I’m only marrying you because of your illness, it’s not true. I love you, that’s why I want to marry you. Nothing will make me happier than having you as my wife, but only if it’s what you want too.”

"Of course I want to"

She assures him that it is.

Sioned does her research . . .

Sioned is studying the laptop,

. . . into Dewi Owen, successful banker

where she does some research into Dewi Owen; closing it and donning her boots, she picks up the taxi keys and strides out.

"Ten miles – in a new record time!"

Jason comes into the café and boasts that he has cycled ten miles – a minute faster than last time.

Gwyneth will stick to her motorbike

Gwyneth hopes that he does not expect Awyr Iach staff to be as fit as him, and that she will stick to her motorbike.

Gwen brings DJ his meal

DJ is tucking into a fry-up, brought to him by Gwen, and Jason orders a smoothie.

When invited to come for a cycle ride, DJ replies,

"Cadno likes men with a bit of meat on their bones!"

“Cadno likes men with a bit of meat on their bones!”

Eifion determines to stir up trouble

Eifion, who has called for some brownies, looks rather displeased to hear this.

"I can't do everything on my own!"

Meanwhile, Sara complains to Dai that Jason is wasting time in the café; “I can’t do everything on my own!”

"He'll change when you're pregnant"

Dai tells her that Jason will change when she is pregnant – “And that will be sooner than you think, according to Casanova! Diane and I are looking forward to being grandparents!”

Sara looks rather despondent, and tells him that the time is not right.

"I thought that's why you came back"

Dai responds, “I thought you came back for the children – so they’d say ‘Shwmae’ and not ‘G’day’!” Sara informs him that they came back to set up the business, and that she is not as keen as Jason to start a family yet, although he would be very disappointed if he was told the truth.

Dai stresses that it is important to be open and honest,

"It's easier to take the pill"

but Sara’s opinion is, “It’s easier to take the pill without him knowing.” Dai predicts that such things can backfire and ruin everything, so he advises her to tell Jason as soon as possible, before digging herself into a very deep hole.

Eifion, doing aircraft impressions

At Penrhewl, Eifion gives an impression of an aeroplane, which does not impress Bobi or Arthur.

Cadno complains that DJ is not back, and Eifion stirs up things by telling her, “He was in the café, and you should keep an eye on him.

Cadno is shocked

“I didn’t realise you were sleeping with him.”

Cadno’s demeanour changes, and she informs him, “We’re not – if it’s any business of yours!”

"DJ says you can't get enough!"

He insists, “DJ was bragging to everyone how much of a stud he is, and that you can’t get enough! He made you sound cheap.”

Sioned is 'staking out' Dewi's flat

Sioned is sitting in the taxi, waiting; Dewi’s car arrives, and he goes into his flat. She walks to his door and knocks.

"I'll pay more if you offer extras!"

When he opens it, he looks her up and down; “Wow! Very nice! Which agency do you work for? I’ll pay more if you offer extras!”

"I'm not here to give you a good time"

“Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not here to give you a good time,” Sioned replies, “I know your story, and the escorts you use. You force women to sleep with you for money. Do you know Vicky Collins? What if your bosses found out about her, and the other women?”

He demands what she wants, and Sioned continues,

"I want you to pay me to keep quiet!"

“I know how important your reputation is to you, with all your charity work. I want you to pay me to keep quiet!”

"Get lost, you cheeky cow!"

“I’m not paying a penny – get lost, you cheeky cow!” he shouts, and slams the door.

Gwyneth objects to being the office dogsbody

Gwyneth is becoming disenchanted with Awyr Iach already; Jason wants her to make tea, and Dai sends her to APD for shelf brackets. Then he advises Sara to have a chat with Jason, who is pleased to see the first order has come through.

"Ooh, look! Order for fifty raincoats!"

“Fifty raincoats for a mountaineering shop in Cumbria! Maybe we could deliver them, and stay in a hotel – who knows what might happen!”

"We've got a lot of hard work ahead!"

Sara points out they have a year of hard work ahead of them, and there is no such thing as Maternity Leave. She also is adamant that they need to find somewhere to live.

Jason resorts to his customary joking

Jason jokes, “Let’s kick Mam and Dai out to a retirement home in Llanarthur!’

Cadno does not like what she has heard . . .

When DJ returns to the farm, Cadno says, “I’m disappointed in you – bragging that we slept together!” When he denies this, and replies that he was simply joking, she accuses him, “You’ve got a dirty mind! I’ll be a laughingstock!”

. . . and DJ denies that he said it

This concerns DJ, who protests that he would never belittle her, and stresses that he finished with Gemma for her.

Cadno appears to be back to her normal self

Her response is, “You and your big mouth! Get out of my sight!”

Jason has a text from his mate Jake, in Brisbane, so takes a selfie with him wielding an ice-axe;

Dai grapples with Jason

Dai comes in at that moment, and assumes he is about to attack Sara. This is not helped by Jason saying, “She’s gone too far this time!”

"She does want a baby with you, but not right now!"

Dai blurts out, “She does want a baby with you, but not right now! Don’t lose your temper!” Then, realising what he has said, he retreats

Gwyneth thinks it advisable to go as well

and so does Gwyneth.

"You've got some explaining to do"

“You’ve got some explaining to do,” says Jason, and Sara tells him that it is not the ideal time to start a family, and moans that it is all he has had on his mind since getting off the plane.

"I want everything to be perfect!"

“When we have a baby, I want everything to be perfect, no work pressure, a good income and our own home,

They appear to be reconciled

“so we can concentrate on the baby.”

"£3,000 cash!"

Sioned has been waiting outside, and now rings Dewi; “I’m still outside, and these are my terms – £3,000 cash, and your dirty secret will be safe!” Then Vicky walks round the corner, and wonders what Sioned is doing there.

Vicky arrives, and Dewi comes out

Dewi comes out of the flat, and upon seeing Vicky, concludes that they are both working together on the blackmail.

"You're both scum!"

“You’re both scum!” he shouts. As they are about to run for the taxi, he grabs Sioned by the hair, and roars at them, “Clear off, or I won’t be responsible for my actions!”

He threatens them with hospitalisation

As Sioned accelerates the taxi, he runs after it, threatening, “If I see you here again, you’ll leave in an ambulance!”

Dai is told they have reached agreement

Dai is expecting trouble when Jason and Sara return to Bryntirion, but they tell him that they have sorted things out. “We shall be starting a family – but not just yet!”

"I need a bellyful of beer"

Gwyneth meets DJ, who is heading for the Deri; “I need a bellyful of beer,” he says, but she reminds him it is closed. “Do you think I was disrespectful to Cadno in the café?” he asks, “Eifion told her I made disgusting comments.”
