Boss took me down to see Eddie today. Not seen him in ages. We had a good old chat an stuff, I even let him put that little stick up me bum this time. He seems to like doin that! Any ways seems I going back on Wednesday for an endoscopy thing. I seems to recall that means havin a nice nap.

Eddie called Boss this afternoon - sez can I go down in mornin for this endoscopy thing. Don't mind sayin that I is gettin bit anxious about it. Me breathin been real bad lately, don't know why but just av to take it easy all the time.

Boss took me down into town on his way to work. I met up with Eddie and I had me a little nap. Don't know why I was so worried about this endoscopy thing, just a funny word for avin a nap so far as I can see.

Boss not so relaxed when got Eddie's news though. Seems like me throat not good. The op last December either didn't work or come undone, but both sides me larynx are paralysed now. All seem in a quandry bout wot to do. Looks like might not get to go on hol with the family to Italy. Boss reckons will be too hot for me to cope. I is sad at prospect of them all leavin me behind.

Apparently me ears also had a good clean when I was nappin. Wot a cheek!

24 July

Wot a rotten week. Boss been making me swallow some orrid steroid tablets. Sez it's to cool the swellin in me throat - but they is truly disgustin taste! I think I casin a whole heap of problems for the bosses. I is sorry, but don't knows wot I can do. Seems like John sez I could have another op on the other side of me larynx.

25 July

This as got to be the wettest summer you could av. Rained all night and all day. The kidz gone up Lake District somewhere campin. Boss sez he got message to say the tents blowd away in the night. Hope they're all right!
