#009 - Digging up deep, dark secrets
Plus, John watches ahead on Love is Blind without Aisling. Traitor!
Summer is drawing to a close in Ballygobbard and still the Beast mystery rolls on. Life is continuing apace too, though. John’s Tots-n-Traps weight class for toddlers is proving to be a mega-hit with local parents, Mad Tom and Rocky have set a date and Majella and Pablo are properly stuck into their house building project. One evening, the Ballygobbard Project committee is having what is expected to be a regular meeting to catch up on the time capsule, its artefacts and the burial ceremony when its members are rocked by a surprise visitor with jaw-dropping news …
ARTEFACT #009: COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES 3
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT:
Chairperson: Una Hatton
Secretary: Tessie Daly
Treasurer: Terry Crowley
Researcher: Peter Mahon
Public Relations Manager: Aisling
OTHERS PRESENT:
Constance Swinford
UNA HATTON: Let’s get started, shall we? I’d first like to thank you all for honouring the hierarchy vis-à-vis parking spaces outside.
TESSIE DALY: (magnanimously) Well, we don’t have much of a choice since you had the sign made.
TERRY CROWLEY: Will you not sit down, Constance? Don’t mind me standing, the new knee has been giving out since that fog on Tuesday.
CONSTANCE SWINFORD: I’m not staying Terry, go ahead and take your seat.
TESSIE: Constance, can I just ask you to lower the volume a tad? My new hearing aid is very sensitive and I could feel that in my molars.
CONSTANCE: (mercifully quieter) Apologies, Tessie. Carry on everyone.
UNA: (shrill, snotty) Teresa, I saw you pressing play on the recorder a minute ago so I presume all of this chit chat will be accurately recorded when you’re typing out the minutes?
TESSIE: (rising above it) Of course, Una. You’ll be quoted precisely and warmly, as always.
