Cwmderi Diary 2015: 27 January 2015

How did this enterprise come to the notice of a national magazine?

On her laptop, Gwyneth has found a reference to their venture in a national magazine; “Check out this clever duo from Wales for some quirky handmade vintage clothes,” she reads, in English.

"What are you doing here?"

Sioned hears a noise, and discovers Gemma has come to check if her stuff is still in the business unit. Ed comes in, pleased to have found her; he takes her back to the flat,

"Shut up, will you?"

and when Sioned protests, he shouts, “Shut up, will you!”

"She's dangerous"

Sioned tells Gwyneth, “I don’t know why she came back – she knows she’s not welcome here, and she’s dangerous!”

"What do you mean?"

She will not elaborate when Gwyneth asks what she means.

"You may soon be a big sister!"

As Jinx puts on Arwen’s shoes, he tells her she may soon be a “big sister,” as Kelly said the interview went very well.

Gethin and Ffion get down to it . . .

Then Gethin arrives, ostensibly for Ffion to check the Welsh in his award application; as soon as Jinx leaves with Arwen, they kiss,

. . . but have a serious problem

but are rudely interrupted when he returns to collect a file.

"You're too good for him"

Gethin tells Ffion that Jinx is kidding himself if he thinks adopting a child will sort everything out; “You’re too good for him!” he insists, but Ffion has to leave for work.

"All these PPI texts!"

As Ffion calls at the salon to book a manicure, Sheryl has two texts in quick succession; Ffion does not believe her when she says they are “PPI messages”.

"He doesn't know the meaning of the word 'no'!"

Sheryl admits, “He doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘no’!” Ffion warns her that he has always been stubborn and does not think of anyone but himself. She adds, as she leaves,

"Now, if Gaynor were to find out . . ."

“He’d soon come to his senses if Gaynor found out!”

The building work has a way to go yet

At Llwyncelyn, the building work is far from finished, and Diane arrives to invite Hywel and Gaynor to “drinks and nibbles” this afternoon to celebrate the completion of their work.

"Has she replied to my text yet?"

While Diane and Gaynor talk, Hywel sneaks a look at his phone.

Ed explains to Gwyneth . . .

Gwyneth goes to the Deri flat to find out what is “dangerous” about Gemma; Ed tells her a rather abridged version of what happened before Gemma left.

. . . but an eavesdropper is outside . . .

“She accidentally stabbed . . .” but at that point, Gemma, who had been listening outside the door, bursts in.

. . . who dashes in and protests

She shouts, “You don’t believe that it was an accident – you think I’m a psycho!” and rushes out.

Just settling down with a pint

Down in the bar, Dai, Jim and Eifion are settling down for a lunchtime pint when Diane comes in, ordering Dai to come home and help her with the party preparations.

Diane agrees that Gemma can have her unit back

Gwyneth asks her if she would agree to Gemma returning to the business units, and Diane is sympathetic, providing she pays her rent.

They laugh at poor old hen-pecked Dai

Then Dai is dragged off home, as Jim and Eifion laugh at him.

Good news for Gemma that she can come back

Sioned is furious when she is told Gemma is coming back to her unit.

"Did you get what you wanted from Ffion"— oh, yes!

Jinx goes to the Deri, where he sees Gethin at the bar, and asks, “Did you get what you wanted from Ffion? Did you know that Gemma’s back? Of course there’s no sign of Andrew, and Ed will have to clear up the mess again.”

"Looking after someone else's child"

Gethin raises the subject of adoption; “It’s a big responsibility, looking after someone else’s child.” Jinx replies that he would love another child just the same, in fact he is looking forward to it. “We would be a proper family then,” he insists.

"Some people would be happy with them!" (meaning me!)

“Aren’t Ffion and Arwen a proper family? Some people would be happy with them,” says Gethin.

Diane and Gaynor attempt to score points

At Bryntirion, the two rooms, linked by a large arch, are full of people eating and drinking. Diane and Gaynor are bitching about the relative merits of their alterations, and Dai explains there is a lot of skill involved in creating an arch.

"When she sees this photo of me, she'll be putty in my hands!"

Meanwhile, Hywel holds up his phone to take a “selfie” and then is seen texting.

Sioned is furious about Gemma . . .

Ed explains to Sioned that Gwyneth now knows about the stabbing, but she has had enough;

. . . and composes a text to Andrew

“I’m texting Andrew to tell him to come and get her – why should we deal with the mess?”

"I wouldn't want me around, either"

In the business unit, Gemma admits to Gwyneth, “I wouldn’t want me around, either,”

"Hang on, it's not this phone . . ."

then hears the text tone on her phone, which she takes from her bag,

". . . it must be this one . . ."

finds it is not that one, but another. As Gwyneth watches, she reads the message,

". . . and it's from Sioned!"

“Please come and fetch your daughter now! She’s off her head. Sioned.”

Personal message from Jinx on CwmFM

Ffion arrives at the salon for her manicure, and stresses to Sheryl she was not interfering earlier, only warning her. The she hears Jinx’s voice on the radio, “Arwen and Ffion, hope you don’t miss me too much.”

Sheryl comments, “He thinks the world of you.

"By the way, I've finished with Hywel"

“By the way, I’ve finished with Hywel – affairs are not proper relationships.”

Gaynor flashes that ring again"

At Diane’s party, Gaynor shows off her ring, but Eifion says, “Angela doesn’t need a ring to know how much I think of her.” Hywel complains that the mobile reception is bad, and he is expecting a message about work, so excuses himself.

I don't know about papering – the plastering looks pretty suspect!

Eifion boasts about the quality of his papering, and, right on cue, some of the paper peels off the ceiling, showering Diane with plaster. This occasions some fury from Dai.

"How dare you not answer my texts?"

Ffion’s manicure is over when Hywel makes an appearance; “Why aren’t you answering my texts?” he demands. Sheryl asks him,

"You're afraid I'll tell your wife!"

“Are you leaving Gaynor? Of course not, you’re too scared! She might be glad to get rid of you – maybe I should ask her. That’s what all the texts and calls are about – you’re afraid I’ll tell your wife.

"Go away, Hywel!"

“Ffion was right about you, you only care about yourself. Go away, Hywel!”

Ffion is not so eager to get into bed today

Ffion visits number 7 again, but this time she stops Gethin when he tries to kiss her. “No – I can’t do this any more, it’s not right! I’ve deceived Jinx enough, he doesn’t deserve this. Jinx and Arwen keep me sane.”
