Cwmderi Diary 2016: 29 April 2016

The workers, about to leave

Vicky feels sorry for Stacey, who is left baby-sitting while she and Dol are at work, but Dol has little sympathy; “She should have kept her big mouth shut!”

Vicky wonders why she is still working there

Vicky admits she questions why she is still working at Awyr Iach, where they profit from packing stuff from sweatshops.

"It's money in your pocket!"

“You’ve got a job and money in your pocket!” replies Dol, “You should keep your nose out, or you’ll end up in big trouble!”

"I should be going back on Tuesday"

Iolo is feeling slightly better, and has told the Cwrtmynach plumbing job that he will be back on Tuesday. He hears an alert on Tyler’s phone,

Tyler has three more Volcano messages

picks it up and sees that there are three messages on the Volcano app. He expresses alarm that Tyler is still with them after what happened to him.

"I know what I'm doing!"

Tyler’s reaction is, “You had no right to look at my phone! The difference is that I know what I’m doing. You let this Tom lead you down a backstreet.”

"Are you saying this is my fault?"

Iolo protests, “Are you saying this is my fault? I’m not stupid! They haven’t been caught – this Volcano app should be shut down!”

More stock arrives at Awyr Iach . . .

It is a hive of industry at Awyr Iach, as the latest delivery arrives, with two men carrying in the boxes;

. . . and yes, it is from the same place

Vicky sees that the boxes bear the Telcaro name, and wants to phone Sheryl to inform her, but is stopped by Dol; “Just keep your head down,” is her advice.

"I've been to a shipyard at Neyland"

Sam visits Anita, telling her that he has been to Neyland, where a mate runs a shipyard.

"I don't see us becoming an item"

Anita is disappointed when he adds, “I don’t see us becoming an item – I found out about Colin and you having a relationship, and I’m disappointed that you didn’t tell me.”

"But that was years ago!"

Anita protests that it was years ago and that she has no feelings for Colin now, but Sam says that as he has been getting on better with Colin lately, he does not want to jeopardise this by upsetting his feelings.

Coffee and chocolate biscuits, but Vicky is watching

Sheryl is treated to coffee and biscuits at Awyr Iach, and after initial remarks about twinning with a village in Uganda, is assured that Sara has broken all links with Telcaro.

"We have a new supplier now, an ethical one!"

We have a new supplier, one of the ethical companies you told me about,” she lies, “I thought you’d be pleased!” She had the foresight to cover the newly-delivered boxes with a blue tarpaulin.

"You ought to go on CwmFM!"

Sheryl suggests Sara should book a slot on CwmFM to encourage other concerns to use ethical suppliers, but she is not keen on the idea.

"What did you tell your father about me?"

Anita angrily confronts Colin in the shop; “What did you tell your father about me? I want a straight answer – have you still got feelings for me?”

"Hang on a minute! What are you on about?"

As she continues her questions, Colin stops her; “Whoa! I don’t know what you’re talking about – I haven’t lied to him!”

The argument comes to a sudden halt as Hywel arrives in the shop, and Anita walks out.

"I'm taking Sheryl away for the weekend"

Hywel tells Colin that he has a surprise weekend booked for Sheryl.

Meanwhile, Sheryl leaves Awyr Iach, feeling reassured that her pressure has had the desired result.

"That Sheryl's a real do-gooder!"

Sara remarks to Jason, “She was interfering as usual – she’s a real do-gooder!”

Jason looks under the tarpaulin

He looks under the tarpaulin and realises where this delivery has come from. “What have you done?” he demands, “This lot is all going back – they’ve got a terrible reputation!”

Sara simply points out that they are making a decent profit.

Sara appeals to his baser instincts

“What’s more important? Sending these back or banking the money?” she enquires.

"Is something going on between you two?"

Colin goes to see his father at Llwyncelyn; “I couldn’t make head of tail of it – I don’t understand what your game is. Is something going on between you two?”

"I am quite fond of her"

Sam explains that Anita came for a meal and that he is quite fond of her, and indeed they kissed, but he was concerned about Colin’s feeling for her.

"Who do you think you are?"

Losing his temper, Colin stresses, “Anita means nothing to me! Who do you think you are?” throws over a chair and storms out.

Vicky is unable to make that call

Vicky attempts to ring Sheryl, but is prevented by the return of Sara, so postpones the call.

He washes the mug once . . .

Iolo is about to make a cup of tea, but obsessively removes the teabag to wash the cup again,

. . . and then again . . .

then decides to repeat this with some washing-up liquid;

. . . and this makes him anxious

he looks concerned.

The staff receive their pay

At the end of the day, Sara hands out the staff’s wages, and asks, “As we need to shift all this stuff as soon as possible, is there any chance you could work on Bank Holiday Monday? I’ll pay a substantial bonus!”

"You can count on us!"

Vicky is very reluctant, but Dol, with her liking for money, readily agrees, and assures Sara, “We’ll be in first thing on Monday – you can count on us!”

"That Telcaro stuff is going back!"

Jason is not happy about working on Monday, and stresses to Sara, “We’ve had this conversation before – that Telcaro stuff is going back!”

Sara has a cunning plan

Her answer to the problem is that they will pack it on Monday, and after he has despatched it on Tuesday, “Then there will be no Telcaro stock here – there won’t be any evidence!”

“You’re only doing this to afford a big house in the country, but not like this!” he tells her, “If you want big bucks, let me go and work in Australia – it would only be for a short while.”

"After Monday – no more Telcaro!"

When she insists that she wants him here with her, he spells out one condition; “After Monday – no more Telcaro!” After some prevarication, she promises to comply.

"I'm sorry!"

When Tyler returns from school, Iolo apologises to him; “I stuck my nose in where I had no right, and I’m sorry!”

"How about beans on toast?"

Tyler also regrets having spoken hastily, and suggests making beans on toast,

A rare smile from Iolo

which does produce a smile from Iolo.

"We're going to Tenby for the weekend"

In the Deri, Hywel tells Sam about the weekend in a boutique hotel in Tenby he has planned for Sheryl; “I’m looking forward to sharing a bottle with Sheryl. I haven’t see much of her, with the salon and this Awyr Iach business.”

"The weekend starts now!"

Dol comes in, announcing, “The weekend starts now!

Dol is remarkably free and easy with her money

“A pint and double whisky chaser!” Sam unsuccessfully argues that he has work to do.

"Sorry about earlier, Dad"

Colin enters, and apologises to Sam for his outburst earlier.

"We had a new delivery this morning"

Then Jason and Sara arrive; Sara informs Hywel that they have a lot to do, having had a new delivery in this morning.

"Sheryl told me you've changed suppliers"

“Yes, Sheryl told me you’ve changed suppliers,” comments Hywel.

Jason asks, “Did I see you this morning out on your bike?” and is told that Hywel cycled about twelve miles. “We should go out together, “Jason continues, hastily adding,

Jason is eager to clear up any misunderstanding

“On our bikes! Things will be quieter after Tuesday.”

"Sara has been lying through her teeth!"

Vicky has called Sheryl over to Maes-y-Deri, and announces to her, “Sara has been lying through her teeth – the delivery that came in today is from Telcaro!”

"OK, she's had her chance!"

Sheryl answers, “OK, she’s had her chance – enough is enough! “We’ll talk to Stacey first, and then decide what to do on Monday.”

Dol announces the agenda for tonight

Dol seems to have the evening planned out for Sam and Colin; “We’ll go to Swansea, a bit of clubbing and a kebab, then back to Maes-y-Deri for a nightcap.

Hywel has been waiting patiently for Sheryl,
