0:00:02 > 0:00:03# Worlds away from anyone

0:00:03 > 0:00:06# They were burning themselves out in the sun

0:00:06 > 0:00:08# Worlds away from anyone

0:00:08 > 0:00:12# They were burning themselves out in the sun

0:00:12 > 0:00:18# There was just enough to get that far away

0:00:19 > 0:00:22# Ooh... #

0:00:31 > 0:00:33'Every year, around birthday time,

0:00:33 > 0:00:37'there's a day that starts out seriously weird.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40'Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43'Looks more like this.'

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Mum, can you please just take the photo? I'm getting lockjaw here.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49It is possible you could undermine

0:00:49 > 0:00:51the air of casual naturalism you're after, Joy.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Yes. All right. OK. Good.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57'Before every birthday, Mum mails a letter

0:00:57 > 0:01:00'and photos of us to Nan and Pop.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03'She's careful to give them the right amount of information,

0:01:03 > 0:01:07'just in case they want more, and come looking for it,

0:01:07 > 0:01:09'in person.'

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Lockie's birthday's coming up soon.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Which one is he again?

0:01:13 > 0:01:16The taller one, I think.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22That baby's still crawling! This is 18 months old!

0:01:22 > 0:01:24It isn't natural.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Perhaps we should pay them another visit?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, whatever for?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32They know what we look like in a photo.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Yes.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40'Here's the question.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43'How much information is too much information?'

0:01:43 > 0:01:45That's too much information.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Pop's just keeping us up to date with his sporting activities,

0:01:48 > 0:01:50- right, Joy?- Right.

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Nice t-shirt.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53'Too much information is all the stuff

0:01:53 > 0:01:56'you'd really rather not know about, like...'

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I've got 17 pimples on my backside,

0:02:01 > 0:02:03and if you join the dots with a crayon,

0:02:03 > 0:02:05they spell "hot pants."

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Joy, I think it's time we kissed passionately

0:02:09 > 0:02:10in front of the children.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12So it is!

0:02:14 > 0:02:17'That's the concept of too much information for you.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21'But at the same time,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24'is there such a thing as not enough information?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26'It seemed Vicki thought so.'

0:02:26 > 0:02:30'Dear Lockie. Heaps of stuff's happened since I last wrote to you.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31'If you want to know all about it,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34'you'll need to check out my HeadSpace page on the internet.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38'It was the fifth letter since Vicki went to boarding school.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40'Every one talked about how great the internet is,

0:02:40 > 0:02:43'and how I was missing out because I wasn't on it.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46'I think she was trying to tell me something.'

0:02:48 > 0:02:49My birthday wish list.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Look, I'm...

0:02:59 > 0:03:03I'm not sure we need a computer in this house, Lockie.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04What would we use it for?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07We could use it to help with school work, send e-mails,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09maybe get ourselves a HeadSpace page.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- What's a HeadSpace page? - I don't know, but I want one.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Everyone else is zooming along on the information superhighway,

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- and we're being left behind. - The thing about computers -

0:03:18 > 0:03:21I'm not sure I completely trust them.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25It is a bit like inviting the rest of the world into the house.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27What's wrong with that?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Where would they all sleep?

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Wire strippers.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Wire strippers.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Soldering iron.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Soldering iron.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Cordial.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Cordial.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Looking good.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Oh, yes.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'm going in.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Ms Archer came to my place last night for dinner.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11A teacher came to your house?

0:04:11 > 0:04:12With a pavlova.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Pavlova. This is serious.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17I knew something was wrong as soon as Dad put on the apron.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Pavlova, great.- Yes, pavlova.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22- Whoa!- Whoops!

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Excellent, you've bought your recorder. Please, come in.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Hello, Geoffrey.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Good afternoon, Ms Archer.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32I know I'm your teacher,

0:04:32 > 0:04:37but when we're out of school, I'd love it if you'd call me Leoni.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39'She wanted me to call her Leoni.'

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- You can't speak to her like she's a person, she's a teacher.- I know.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- So what did you call her? - Nothing. There's no way

0:04:45 > 0:04:47she's getting a Leoni out of me.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Was the pavlova good? - Ask someone who ate it.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Your, erm... Your clothes are excellent.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Thank you. I like your vest.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05I've got a whole range of vests, I swear.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09- One of them's made out of recycled plastic bags.- I'd like to see that.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Mum made that vest.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Pardon?- Mum, you remember her? About this tall,

0:05:17 > 0:05:19dark hair, good at welding?

0:05:19 > 0:05:22I believe she's in Scandinavia now.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Yeah, Mum won the Gertrude Stein fellowship

0:05:24 > 0:05:27at the University of Stockholm.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- They've asked her to be a professor. - Who has?

0:05:29 > 0:05:32The...the University head boss dude.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36He says she's the best heavy metal sculptor in Norway.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Stockholm's in Sweden.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah. Yeah, she's big there too.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52THEY PLAY A GENTLE FOLK TUNE

0:05:56 > 0:05:57HE SIGHS

0:05:58 > 0:06:00HEAVY METAL IS TURNED UP

0:06:00 > 0:06:02'The sound of Rev jamming with a teacher

0:06:02 > 0:06:05'was way too much information for Egg.'

0:06:05 > 0:06:07TUNE FINISHES

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Oh, yeah! THEY BOTH LAUGH

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Ready?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Ta-da!- Happy birthday, Lockie.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15It's a day early.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Is it all right if I'm still wondering what...it is?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's a computer!

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Is it pedal-powered(?)

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- MARJORIE:- No! That's just to keep fit while you're using it.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30That was Marjorie's idea.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Can we keep it?

0:06:36 > 0:06:38These are the computer rules.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39One...

0:06:40 > 0:06:43The computer stays IN the lounge room...

0:06:43 > 0:06:44..Where we can see it.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Unless you're outside.- Corr...

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Two...

0:06:50 > 0:06:53A maximum of 30 minutes' computer time

0:06:53 > 0:06:55per child, per day.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- LOCKIE SCOFFS - 30 minutes(?)

0:06:57 > 0:07:00We thought we'd err on the side of generosity.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Three...

0:07:02 > 0:07:05You must tell us which...

0:07:06 > 0:07:07..homewebs you're dialling up.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Websites?- Yes. Those as well.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16That is all.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18'So Phillip and Marjorie dragged the Leonard family

0:07:18 > 0:07:20'onto the information superhighway.'

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Nice!

0:07:23 > 0:07:27'Sure - we may not have been in the fastest lane on the highway...

0:07:27 > 0:07:30'but I COULD share more information with Vicki.'

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Hi to my HeadSpace friends -

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I thought you'd like to know that the other day

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I had a seriously evil maths test.

0:07:36 > 0:07:382 hours, 300 questions,

0:07:38 > 0:07:41and...I got a B.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47This is the dress that I wore to the Redmont College ball.

0:07:47 > 0:07:48Isn't it cool?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53I came first in the bonsai papier mache competition.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Which is weird - cos my artistic talent is microscopic.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Now you've seen my life, where's yours?

0:08:00 > 0:08:01It's here.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- In Angelus.- But when are you going to build a HeadSpace page

0:08:04 > 0:08:06and show me?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09- MARJORIE:- Cupcake, Lockie? - Are you real?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Of course I am!

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Thanks.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Thanks, Marge. Love your work.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16GATE BANGS OUTSIDE

0:08:17 > 0:08:21No... That can't be Nan and Pop!

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Oh, no... They've got knapsacks.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30How long do you think they're planning on staying?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33They didn't even say they were coming - it's not right!

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I know it's not, but they ARE your parents.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Boys...? Prepare to be artificially welcoming.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40POP GASPS

0:08:40 > 0:08:43We've walked 30 kilometres in two days.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45- MUM LAUGHS UNEASILY - Why, for heaven's sake?

0:08:45 > 0:08:49A charity walk. For people with plastic hips.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Oh... So, how long do you think you'll stay?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55A couple of days' rest before moving on.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Er - could you turn that off, Dad?

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Do you have any lemonade?

0:09:02 > 0:09:03Here you are...

0:09:04 > 0:09:07And while you're at it, have one of my cupcakes.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08My secret recipe.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Nan, Pop - meet my best friend...

0:09:11 > 0:09:12..Marjorie?

0:09:14 > 0:09:17'This was old information. Nan knew who Marjorie was.'

0:09:17 > 0:09:21"Phillip, with his friend Marjorie,

0:09:21 > 0:09:25"and the de Havilland Mosquito fighter bomber Mk VI

0:09:25 > 0:09:28"which they built...together"(?)

0:09:29 > 0:09:32- I don't believe it!- Nor me either.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37After the Mk V, de Havilland ceased production of the bomber

0:09:37 > 0:09:40and concentrated on the night fighter.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Everybody knows that!

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Pop...pack the knapsacks.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48We're going to Angelus.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Dad's not home.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I came to see you, Geoffrey.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59What for?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01I think we need to talk.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03OK...

0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Do you know how to turn off the mower?- Yeah...

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Would you...please turn it off?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16MOWER STOPS

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Well... That's a bit better.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- I'm sorry to interrupt you.- Yep.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Just a thought - since you didn't eat any pavlova last night, I...

0:10:26 > 0:10:29thought you might like to try something else.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Cheesecake!

0:10:33 > 0:10:34It's a bit early for me.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38The thing is, I like your dad.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Quite a lot, actually.- Well - better get back to the mowing.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I know you miss your mum.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48And I don't want to...

0:10:48 > 0:10:51you know, replace her, I just...

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Anyway, I'm... pleased we had this chat.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00I-I'll just leave this here...

0:11:00 > 0:11:02MOWER FAILS TO START

0:11:07 > 0:11:10I don't know what to say.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Just explain what you're doing to help the child reach her milestones.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Milestones?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18HE SIGHS Do I have to spell it out?!

0:11:19 > 0:11:24Walking, Joy. Our family are all great walkers.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- This one's letting the side down. - No...!

0:11:26 > 0:11:31- She's just taking her time. - How much more can she possibly need?

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Can you turn that thing off, please?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I thought you'd like to document the child's progress

0:11:41 > 0:11:42in audiovisual form.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Excuse me.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47Just for a second.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55See what I found beside Phillip's bed...?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Evidence.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01"Age is just a state of mind."

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I've never heard anything more absurd.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05Look at the signature.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09It's from HER.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11"Yours scientifically...Marjorie."

0:12:14 > 0:12:17You're not going to turn this into a competition, Nan?

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Competition?!

0:12:20 > 0:12:24I wouldn't even consider something so undignified.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Cupcake, darling?

0:12:33 > 0:12:35No thanks, Nan. Maybe later.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36Why not have one now?

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Well...

0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'm a bit full.

0:12:40 > 0:12:45- But they look delicious. - They are. It's the extra bran.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49So - you won't need to get your cupcakes

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- anywhere else now, will you? - No...I guess not.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Good boy!

0:12:56 > 0:12:58'Nan trying to be friends with Phillip?'

0:12:59 > 0:13:01'Way too much information for him.'

0:13:03 > 0:13:04- MUM:- Lockie...

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- KNOCKING - Lockie!

0:13:10 > 0:13:11What are you doing?

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Oh, you know... Hanging out with the washing machine.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18What are YOU doing? It's a beautiful day, you should go to the beach.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Blob and I can come with you, if you like.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24I would, but I have to collect information for my HeadSpace page.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- What kind of information? - Anything going.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29But I need a video camera.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Hmm. I think I can organise one of those.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38This is Angelus Beach.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40I come here a lot.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41And this is my board,

0:13:42 > 0:13:44and...my wax.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Is that all you're going to say?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50What else should I say?

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I don't know, man. It's your life.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56This is Egg. He's my best friend.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Say hello, Egg.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Lockie...

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Vicki knows this stuff already.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04'Egg had a point. Vicki knew just about everything about me.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08'I had to find some new information. But what?'

0:14:09 > 0:14:12This is the grass at the front of my house.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15It's probably a bit longer since you last saw it. Good, eh?

0:14:15 > 0:14:18This is the T-shirt I wore last weekend.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Still haven't put it in the wash. Hmm. Should do that.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24This is some of what we're having for dinner.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Broccoli. Interesting.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Hey! That's my camera!

0:14:30 > 0:14:32KNOCK AT DOOR

0:14:32 > 0:14:37Geoffrey... This cheesecake is spectacular. D'you want some?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39No. It would be a betrayal.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42A betrayal?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Of whom?- Mum.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Why?- I don't want you to hang out with Ms Archer any more.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54She's a space invader.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- I don't understand.- It's like...

0:14:58 > 0:15:00she sees a space, and she invades it.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02And she's not allowed to.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05This is Mum's space. Not hers.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09But...don't you want me to be happy?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12'In this moment,

0:15:12 > 0:15:15'Egg knew he couldn't stop his dad from hanging out with Ms Archer.'

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Whatever you want, Dad.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Mr Eggleston...

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Is there anything

0:15:25 > 0:15:26you'd like to share?!

0:15:27 > 0:15:29It wasn't me.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30No(?)

0:15:31 > 0:15:36When it was you who unlawfully imprisoned Ms Archer in her classroom

0:15:36 > 0:15:37only a week ago!

0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Yeah, but I... - I don't want your excuses!

0:15:41 > 0:15:42I want a confession!

0:15:42 > 0:15:45'But Egg had nothing to confess.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47'Technically, it was the fire drill's fault.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49FIRE BELL RINGING

0:15:58 > 0:15:59Mr Squasher...

0:15:59 > 0:16:03I'm sure Geoffrey wasn't involved in this.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05'This was worse than the cheesecake.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07'Ms Archer standing up for Egg?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10'It felt like an even bigger space invasion.'

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Come on, then... Let's hear it!

0:16:12 > 0:16:16'And if Egg couldn't stop his dad from hanging out with Ms Archer,

0:16:16 > 0:16:18'he figured this was the next best thing.'

0:16:18 > 0:16:19I did it.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22And I'd do it again tomorrow.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25'Even if it meant using false information.'

0:16:31 > 0:16:35Marjorie! This is seriously good French toast.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37I changed the egg/milk ratio,

0:16:37 > 0:16:38as you suggested.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40I knew it!

0:16:40 > 0:16:45- Hi, Nan...- You said you wouldn't get your cupcakes from anyone else.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47This is French toast.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48I'll bet it is.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51So... Now you've got yourself a new nan,

0:16:51 > 0:16:55I suppose you don't want the old one cramping your style.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Sorry?

0:16:57 > 0:17:01Well, sometimes "sorry" just isn't enough.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03I...don't quite understand.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06It's OK, Marge. I'll deal with this.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08So...! Now it's "Marge", is it?!

0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Nan - it's not what you think. - Don't take me for a fool, Lockie.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Phillip...

0:17:15 > 0:17:17That's what I said.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's just French toast. It doesn't mean anything.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22It may be "just French toast" to you -

0:17:22 > 0:17:26but to me it's bread soaked in treachery.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Don't worry, Phillip.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33She needs to be on her own.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39'Nan and Pop were in our beds,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42'so Phillip and I got the lounge room.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44'Normally that'd be a serious pain,

0:17:44 > 0:17:47'but tonight I was glad to be near the computer.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50'Cos I really needed to know if Vicki was still talking to me

0:17:50 > 0:17:53'after all that boring stuff I'd put on my HeadSpace page.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57'I just had to wait for midnight to roll around

0:17:57 > 0:18:00'so I could use my next half-hour of computer time.'

0:18:03 > 0:18:04Hey, Lockie.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07I love the stuff on your HeadSpace page.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09You like that stuff? Really?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Yeah. Amazing.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13I had broccoli for dinner too.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15And the grass out the front of your house - wow.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19It must have grown at least seven millimetres since I last saw it.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22So when are you going to put some more stuff up?

0:18:23 > 0:18:25'I couldn't decide what was weirder -

0:18:25 > 0:18:28'Vicki not hating the information on my HeadSpace page,

0:18:28 > 0:18:29'or her wanting more.'

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Happy birthday, Lockie...

0:18:36 > 0:18:39ALL: Happy birthday, Lockie!

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Thanks...

0:18:50 > 0:18:52POP: Good in all weather, those.

0:18:52 > 0:18:53A friend for life.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57- UNENTHUSIASTICALLY: - My favourite colour. How'd you know?

0:18:57 > 0:18:59From your mother and I...

0:19:04 > 0:19:05A camera!

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Thanks, Mum. Thanks, Sarge.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08What a good idea.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Second-hand, but the bloke in the shop says it's the best.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Three years ago.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Well, it's all charged up and ready to go.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17So now there's no excuse

0:19:17 > 0:19:21for you not putting information on your SpaceHead interpage.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28This is Mum and Phillip, walking to school.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33This is the bus stop, where I sometimes catch the bus to the shops

0:19:33 > 0:19:35instead of riding my bike...

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Lockie, can I ask you something?

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Do you really think that Vicki - and the world, for that matter -

0:19:41 > 0:19:43would find this information useful?

0:19:43 > 0:19:48I mean - surely you and Vicki don't discuss these kind of...

0:19:48 > 0:19:52- ..Boring, mundane... - ..Trivial things in person?

0:19:53 > 0:19:56'Suddenly, I realised Mum was right.'

0:19:56 > 0:19:57Mum...

0:19:57 > 0:20:02maybe half-an-hour internet time per day is a bit too generous after all.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06'This was the first time I'd ever worked out something before Vicki.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10'After school, it was my birthday picnic -

0:20:10 > 0:20:11'and everyone was invited.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13'But according to Nan...

0:20:13 > 0:20:16'..not everyone was welcome.'

0:20:16 > 0:20:18WILD WEST SHOWDOWN MUSIC

0:20:27 > 0:20:30This is a family-only event.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32What about Egg?

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Egg...?

0:20:34 > 0:20:37I've had quite enough of you and your food!

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Maybe you and I should go for a walk.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41A walk...?

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Will they be OK alone?

0:20:45 > 0:20:50They're OK. This is something they need to work out by themselves.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58A nice cold drink, darling?

0:20:58 > 0:21:02Marjorie says I should be seeing more of my grandchildren.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Not just sending letters and photos.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Sure, Nan. But only if you really feel that you have to.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Oh, yes, of course!

0:21:19 > 0:21:20Look...!

0:21:28 > 0:21:31'Trust Blob to upstage me at my own birthday party.'

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Maybe you should put THAT on your HeadSpace page.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40'I thought about it -

0:21:40 > 0:21:43'but in the end, there are some things which belong in the moment,

0:21:43 > 0:21:45'and not on the internet.'

0:21:48 > 0:21:50'And those - they're the coolest,

0:21:50 > 0:21:53'most important bits of information of all.'
