Rowan: Haggis, I don’t want you to take this the wrong way – but it might be more fun for us both if YOU chased the ball when I throw it?
Niamh: Hi Rowan! Did Haggis con you into walking him? Will said he wouldn’t go out in the rain this morning!
Rowan: Hard to believe, the sun’s so bright now! Where are you off to? Shouldn’t you be at the surgery?
Niamh: My turn to do the bakery run! Hey, I saw Jake coming up the path by the lake –
Rowan: Oh okay – I’ll stick to this path so I can avoid him.
Niamh: I thought you’d want to!
Rowan: She’s a good girl, your Auntie Niamh, isn’t she? A really sweet kid. The last person we want to bump into is –
Rowan: – Jake!
Jake: Haggis! How nice to see you! Oh, and you too, Rowan.
Rowan: Oh great, first you jump out from behind a tree, then the sun goes in.
Jake: I didn’t jump out! And I don’t think it was my fault about the sun…
Rowan: You’re so sodding tall, you block out the light.
Jake: There you go – I made the sun come out again!
Rowan: Just because I blamed you for it going in, it doesn’t mean I’m going to give you credit for it coming out again.
Jake: You’re a hard woman to please…
Rowan: Why lower my standards? Anyway, got to go.
Jake: Why don’t we walk together? Then Haggis and Sooty can play.
Rowan: No thanks. Whichever way you’re heading, I’m going in the opposite direction.
Jake: Shame…well, no doubt I’ll see you again soon.
Rowan: Yeah, well – I don’t seem to able to avoid you at the moment.
Rowan: Bloody Niamh! I bet she did that on purpose, the conniving little minx! Just wait till I see her…
Rowan: …now come on, Haggis – are you going to chase this ball or not?
