Good morning beautiful Topsy. The ogress started with her moosey shenanigans early yesterday morning, and had been shouting at my poor Mum again… I said to Charlie that it was going to be one of those weekends, and I was right. She went slithering out early, well it was early for her anyway, she was out of here an hour before midday, and came crashing through the big scary old door just as I should have been going past with Molly. She had made me so angry though, I had forgotten what time it was, and I was late going downstairs as she stood there with her front teeth sticking out like a poor donkey. As I went downstairs, she went trundling into one of the rooms… she knew that she had made me angry, and she had made sure that I would be even angrier when I got downstairs, and I was when I saw what she had done. All I had wanted to do was get a mug of coffee and something to eat, and I could not even do that. I would have gone out for a nice long walk had I not been so tired, I was so tired yesterday morning, I almost fell asleep sitting here. Seeing as I was to tired to go out, I just got back up here out of her snorting, grinning way until I could go back down to make some noodles… and when I did that, I still had to get out of the way as quickly as I could. I was so tired when I got into bed last night, I think that I was asleep as soon as I had laid down, but of course, it did not last. I was dreaming about something when Molly came ploughing across the bed, waking me with a start, and I think that I sat up in shock. I was awake yet again a few hours later, but managed to get back to sleep again, but when I woke again, I could not get back to sleep, so I got up, got dressed, and went down to the kitchen to feed Percy and George. As usual, yet more stuff had been left down by the garden doors for me to take out, and when I opened the doors, poor Percy came running in with George. It had been pouring down, and was still raining as I staggered over there to the bins… when I got back inside, I fed Percy and George, and when George had finished, she wanted to go straight back out. Poor Percy wanted to stay in, so I opened another packet of food for him, and got back up here. He was snuggled up asleep on the laundry bag when I went back down to make some tea, and I did not want to wake him to put him out, but I had to, or there would have been complaints. At least it had stopped raining, though it was bitterly cold… it is so cold, I have had to put on that baggy old jumper that I pull over Charlie when she is cold. I would like to let him back in when I go back down there to the kitchen just before midday, but there would only be an argument, so he will have to wait until the morning. I will be awake very, very early again, so I will let Percy and George in as soon as I get down there, at least Percy will be in for three or four hours before I have to put him out again. We do love you Topsy, we love you so much little girl, and we do miss you, we miss you terribly you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
