  Joy and Mick are enjoying doing some repairs in their ‘Repair Grotto’ garage with items Tony has reluctantly given them to work on. Mick thinks this attitude is because Tony wants all the limelight. Joy thinks it’s probably just worry about losing items if more people get involved.

They will downsize and find something else to do together. Mick suggests a dog field like his friend runs – an enclosed field for hire to dog owners for off-lead exercise. Lynda is intrigued. At the hospital, Anna and Tony visit Carol, who is feeling worse. She’s tired and also sick of the other patients and changes on the ward.
