I thought I was great after the colonoscopy procedure but when Jimmy picked me up from the hospital I went straight home and collapsed into the bed. I slept for the whole afternoon. I was bleedin’ knackered. It was dark when I woke up…

• Are you awake Bernie?
• Hmmmm
• Are you awake?
• I am now
• I brought you a cup of tea
• Thanks love
• Would you like a something to eat?
• A slice of toast would be lovely Jimmy
• No bother. I’ll make it for you now
• Lovely
• I thought you were never going to wake up
• How long was I asleep?
• Four hours
• Really?
• Ye, you were out for the count
• What time is it?
• Half six
• Did you have your dinner?
• No, I was waiting for you to wake up
• Ah, that’s nice. What are you making?
• Me? I thought you’d make it
• Are you serious? You’re waiting for me to make your dinner?
• You know I can’t cook Bernie
• You don’t know until you try Jimmy
• I never had to try Bernie
• Your ma spoiled you rotten
• What about you
• What about me?
• You spoiled me too
• Did I?
• You always do the cooking

• I am in me bollix. I’ll go to the chipper
• Good man

• Were you worried about me?
• Of course I was. Who’d make me dinner if anything happened to you?
• Fuck off Jimmy
