Good morning beautiful Topsy. Those rotten odd stinking swamp things were at it again in their smelly old swamp the day before yesterday little girl, though there was no rotten odd stinking bongo music, there was plenty of squawking, wailing, snorting, screaming, screeching, and cackling. I had to shut the big window, but I could still hear them, even when I put those waxy earoley thingies in, and they did not stop until it was way, way past midnight. I know that I had a bad night, as it was so warm, and I was awake early yet again yesterday morning. When I staggered down to the kitchen, there were yet more bottles, tins, cardboard, and paper to go out there to the bins, and poor Percy came running in when I opened the garden doors, with George not far behind. I gave them both a good feed, but had to let Percy out with George when they had finished, as he has started getting onto the tops down there. He used to just stay curled up on Charlie's chair by the scary old washing machine, but in the past couple of weeks, he has gone exploring, just as the poor Burmese cat used to… she disappeared almost a year ago. When I left here, I did not realise how hot it was, and had to take my sweaty shirty thing off halfway down the lane, and it just got hotter and hotter as I waked into town. I managed to get sausages, as the ogress seems to be chomping them down as soon as I get them, but I forgot a few things. The ogress is getting through a whole bottle of washing up liquid a week, she is getting through so much of it, that I bought a bottle for myself to use, but that was just taken as well, so now I am even going to have to hide that. It was terribly hot on the way home, so hot that I had a headache in the afternoon. When I got back here, I had to get out of the way, as the ogress was waiting to go out… and she went trundling off wearing a big heavy coat, woolly hat, and a scarf. The headache that I had got worse during the afternoon, and then those moronic swamp things started again, thankfully it only lasted a couple of hours, but it was still terribly noisy. At least I could have the big window open last night when I got into bed, I had to have the new not so scary old fan turned on as well, and I had a good nights sleep for a change. When I woke up this morning, I had overslept by just over half an hour, and Molly came to greet me as I got dressed. It was only after I had got dressed that I realised I still had that rotten headache, but I forgot to take anything when I staggered down there to the kitchen. Yet more tins, bottles, and paper was there for me to take out there to the bins, and as I opened the garden doors, poor Percy and George came running past me. I gave them a good feed, and got back up here to Molly, and I still forgot to take anything for that odd headache. I remembered to take something when I got down to the kitchen to make some coffee, but it still did not go, so I took something else, and it has just started to go away. The ogress went out earlier, and has just come crashing through the big scary old door with her great big cakehole, and she is after another argument, she has been trying for days with my poor Mum, my little sister, and me, but we have not given in… I just hope my poor Mum and little sister do not fall for it, it is bad enough with the swamp things starting. We do love you Topsy, we love you so much little girl, and we do miss you, we miss you so much you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
