Diary entries

I stole Otis' diary (shh, don't tell him!) and found this hehe (I corrected the spelling mistakes and I just couldn't figure out what was meant by some of his sentences, so I just wrote what I thought Otis would have written, even if it makes little sense):

"23rd August 2012
Tweehoo, Fred is still gone, I think she's coming back next year, so I'm going to hang out with the pigeons a bit in the woods. They're awesome, Fudge used to be in the army but got kicked out for doing handstands when he was on duty. Poor thing, I think he was quite devastated when they did, he keeps talking about invading the squirrels' territory and shooting maggots. I think he's glad I'm here though, I can't wait to teach him a thing or two, he can thank his stars!
I went for a soar on the clouds in the other direction today and lost my way because the signs were all in Welsh, so I asked a badger which way. He said something but I couldn't figure out what it was, so I carried on for a bit as I was in no hurry. I found a massive lake that goes beyond what the eye can see, the air tasted weird and there were a lot of seagulls flying around. I hate seagulls, they're a common bunch and should be shot! I wish I was young enough to join the army, this country needs a bit of discipline, especially in tackling those seagull invaders! Luckily I found a pigeon who is acquainted with Fudge, so he showed me the way home. I need to ask Fudge to show me around as I have no idea where I'm going. In fact, I might write a letter of complaint to the government - these signs will not do! They also need to build more shops and perhaps a pub or two more. It's important to stay hydrated throughout the day, that's what Fred says. Anyway, got to go, Fudge is calling, I think he's in a spot of trouble and needs my help! Traaaa.

28th August 2012
Fred has come back and turned into Frank, though to be honest, I can hardly tell the difference. It seems there's a need to be Frank in the air, but it's all nonsense if you ask me! It also appears to be quite contagious, Fudge told me to go away and stick my head in a rabbit hole, just seconds after I'd saved him from a nest of maggots! Such ungrateful behaviour does not go in my good books, and so I am gladly staying away from the pigeons. At least, until one of them comes back and apologises, then I might contemplate paying them a quick visit. They're all a bunch of lunatics and not worth mentioning in a history book!
Anyway, got to go, just running the bath and I'm not sure how it switches off. Traaaa."

Haha, this is all I found, lovely Otis has only recently started writing a diary, so I've put it back where I found it and will be looking in regularly to see what he's written. This might also help with my quantitative analysis of his brain. Perhaps someone will even want to publish the report when it's finished. I very much doubt it though the way things are going (hence the need to be Frank). Otis, on the other hand, is having the time of his life! He claims to have become General in the army. I'm pretty sure that's not true though, as he's the thickest owl around and quite clumsy, especially when it comes to aiming at things.
Let's hope this next week will be full of exciting things for Otis to do so we can have a giggle!
