Episode 62

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

(sound of hoof beats and horses whinnying)

Shula:  Oh hello, Jakob.  I didn’t expect you this afternoon.  I’m just having a cup of tea and a piece of Mum’s cake.  She’s a famous baker round here and this lemon drizzle cake is the best yet.

Jakob:  I have 12.5 spare minutes in my schedule today so I was able to come and check your obesity problem.

Shula:  I’m assuming you mean my equine obesity problem, you cheeky thing.

Jakob:  Of course, what else ?  I’m pleased to say that Amir and Aziz are in much better shape.  I have given them a full, hands-on body examination and their fat to muscle ration is much improved.

Shula:  And what about my body shape, Jakob ? Have you time to examine it ?

Jakob:  Well, in my professional opinion it would make sense if you English people didn’t eat so much cake.

Shula:  Then help me by eating the rest of this one.  Just sit down next to me and I’ll pour you a cup of tea to go with it.

(sound of tea pouring)

Jakob:  It is indeed an excellent cake but why are you sitting on my knee?

Shula:  Just finish your cake and you’ll find out.

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

(Ed.  What will the bishop say when he finds out ?)
