Sell/Newson/Land, Day 87, Part 2

Ernie: Good morning, Mrs Land-Newson... plumbob, I love saying that... you don't mind that we kept my double-barrelled name?

Les: Nope! I love it! It's full of family and history!

Ernie: We've got some time before we have to work... wanna go out someplace?

Les: Sure!

Ernie: So, this is the Swimming Hole-

Les: "Hole?"

Ernie: It only got proper plumbing when my mum was little, so yeah, hole...

Les: Ernie?

Ernie: Mmm?

Les: I want a baby.

Ernie: I... er... where did that come from?

Les: I just... I've been thinking about it for a few months and now... I'm sure... I want a baby.

Ernie: I'm not opposed to the idea... my parents would love a live-in grandbaby. They're always complaning they don't see enough of Emma, with her living all the way over in Riverford.

Les: Put a baby in me, Ernie.

Ernie: I'm not sure that's how it works...

Les: I know, but "fertilise my eggs" sounds far less sexy...

Ernie: Here?

Les: We've woohooed in public before.

Ernie: Yeah, but at college... people who've known me all life might see us here... people who know my parents!

Les: Well, if you don't want to...

Ernie: I never said that!

Woohoo!

Les: We'll have to turn Patrick's old room into a nursery. Did you say there's loads of furniture up in the attic?

Ernie: Yeah - three of everything from when me and Clem and Patrick were all little at once. I doubt we'll need to buy anything new.

Les: We could get a few new things, though... and redecorate. I can't wait!

Sell/Newson/Land, Day 87, Part 1

Les continued her mission to befriend all of her new in-laws. Honestly, I'm wondering about changing her aspiration. Right now she's playing more like Family/Popularity than Romance.

Uncle Brian is busy uncling. Everyone needs an Uncle Brian!

Gallagher made dinner - he's been working on his cooking skill.

Woohoo!

It was a (relatively) quiet family evening in at the Sell/Newson/Lands.

Sell/Newson/Land, Day 86, Part 4

Stephen attacked Ringo, presumably because, at some point, Stephen's seen Ringo dating someone other than Grace, Ringo's wife and Stephen's cousin.

Their children are not impressed.

Well, this wedding's off to a good start! Quick, get the ceremony underway before any more violence can break out!

Sell/Newson/Land, Day 86, Part 6

Ah, looks like most people made it to watch in the end. It didn't look like they were going to for a while.

Brian didn't get dressed, though, I see. Rosanna's doing her bit for the party score by distracting her husband from going after Ringo again.

The swing is always popular at parties.

I found an uncleared up buffet in someone's inventory - I think it must've been from Patrick and Jenny's wedding - so we just put that out. The food ran out before it spoilt.

Ernie: I forgot to say I love your hair like that.

Les: Thanks. Your mum did it. I might keep it like this for a while.

Valour worked on his college fund car in his suit. Right.

Delta: Did you like having all those people over, Zeus?

The bride and groom both had to leave for work before the end of the party, but they still raised the roof!

That's better!

Congratuations to the new Mr and Mrs Land-Newson!

Sell/Newson/Land, Day 86, Part 3

Jose swiftly exited the hot tub when he saw the old people coming!

Brian: Ooof... that's the spot! I'm not as young as I used to be!

Dixie: You're plenty young enough for me, still.

And home to woohoo!

Sell/Newson/Land, Day 86, Part 2

Date time for Brian and Dixie.

Sell/Newson/Land, Day 86, Part 1

Valour had a want to go to college, which meant it was time for him to tackle his homework mountain.

Delta and Les made friends and now they both want to be best friends.

When Les said she wanted to meet all of Ernie's relatives, she meant all the living ones!

This household get through a lot of food.

Valour managed to bathe Rhein, but he and Zeus kept getting in each other's way by the tub and the interaction kept dropping out of his queue.

It's the night before Ernie and Les's wedding, and she's settling in and getting to know everyone.
