Weve got a potential bomb, wormy goats, and me being disgustingly overcome by how cute Jimmy is.
My wife walked in while I was exclaiming over him and was like, Alice.
Sorry that we had a baby and now every baby makes me have cartoon heart eyes.Theyre so good.
Okay, but what are our Yorkshire veterinarians and assorted characters up to?
Aside from Jimmy, who is sitting in a high chair all by himself, look at him!
(I am now cutting myself off from Jimmy talk.)
Get your shit together, Tristan.
Tristan is the opposite of Jimmy.
James tries to hold himself together at the breakfast table when Richard gets a package and a letter.
The package is droppings in a jar.
Siegfried is, of course, very excited, and they analyze them under a microscope, diagnosing ringworm.
But first, Richards letter.
This would provide him with a research position in London.
Thats definitely how I think about labwork.
They are extremely cute.
The goats are being looked after by Miss Grantley.
If she looks familiar, its because thats Juliet Aubrey fromthe 1994Middlemarchminiseries.
Less exciting is that the show isagainfeaturing a woman Siegfried is immediately interested in.
Havent we done this?
Are we not bored by this by now?
The goats have worms (and their own chaise!
They figure out that the tiny Thor goats have been eating Saint-Johns-wort, which makes them photosensitive.
She and Siegfried discuss her writing, Zarathustra and Ziggurats, which he asks to read.
Miss Grantley teaches at Cambridge, which also is very cool.
She convinces Siegfried to give more thought to Richard refusing the Warners Prize.
I saw mules clip-clopping right up a steep path in the Grand Canyon like it wasnothing.
Great job, mules.
James finally agrees to play cricket for 20 minutes, during which he backs out of their drinking plans.
Tristan admits he perhaps took the carousing too far.
Oh, really, Tristan?
Later, Tristan practices his mule lecture on Jimmy, who responds by farting.
Who left the baby with Tristan?
It has random supplies, like food and toothpaste.
Bosworth is like, okay, but lets not jump to conclusions; it could still be very dangerous.
We also see a dead fox, which I could have happily missed.
That would be so hard; what an example is Mrs. Hall.
Then they chat about Bingo and whats been going on with Bosworth.
Aww, Mrs. Hall.
What a lovely moment of vulnerability between our two wardens.
Richard decides to accept the position, which is great for him, but now were losing Richard!
In exchange for who?
James stays at home with Jimmy and the dogs.
Everyone is happy and cozy, and I love this show.
