1The dog, not the Prime Minister.2This part of log includes the footnote 'SLANDEROUS LIBEL' in what appears to be fords' handwriting.3Believed to be a reference to the many vodka jelly shots which appeared on the table around this time.4Log contains footnote 'Lucky sod' at this point.5Or possibly 'lovely' - Wumbie's speech is somewhat indistinct by this point.
