CHAPTER 10 (The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole)

The dog was back. Adrian went to a two-day survival trip. On October 27th Adrian had an operation to remove the tonsils. He bought a pyjama for the hospital, spoke with his friends and said goodbye to Pandora before the operation. He didn't eat or drink anything and he was nervous. 
The operation finished. Adrian had a terrible pain in throat and he couldn't eat anything. Two horrible nurses looked after him. 
Adrian and Pandora went to a bonfire party and they burned things like the phone bill. Another day they had an argument because Pandora didn't want to marry Adrian. 
Bert had a friend called Queenie. 
Adrian's mum sent him a strange telegram.
