Good morning beautiful Topsy. I am sorry about not coming on here yesterday little girl, but I needed to sleep so badly that I got drunk on Friday… of course, it did not work, and I was still awake very early yesterday morning. I felt awful though, and could just about sit here without falling over, I could not even stomach having my usual coffee, so I had to have a mug of tea instead. I managed to buy some of my favourite coffee again last week, but half of it has mysteriously disappeared. It is the same with everything that I get, someone just helps themselves to it, it seems that all the rules that the old ogre made up all of those years ago still apply, buy only to me. The swamp things had another one of their deranged parties late yesterday afternoon, and it just got louder and louder, so I recorded some of it in the downstairs bathroom. The noise was even worse in the kitchen while I made myself some soup, but it suddenly stopped about half an hour after I got up here. When I went back downstairs about an hour later to give Tiddles her packet of chicken soup, my poor Mum told me that a herd of odd coppers had gone there and told them that they were not allowed to do what they have been doing because of this virusy thingy thing… there must have been 30 of them out there in the smelly old swampy swamp. Someone from way over the back there must have complained to the coppers, as it was not us, as it is pointless… though I know that we will get the blame. I can smell Sunday breakfast sizzling away down there in the kitchen, so that means that the 40 sausages that I managed to buy on Thursday will be mostly gobbled down by the ogress, then she will have a big pile of biscuits, a huge Sunday dinner, then something else this evening when I have my one meal of the day. She is in for a big surprise though, as I might not go into town to cart back a load of food for her tomorrow… I am sick and tired of struggling back here with stuff that is supposed to last a week, then have the ogress gobble everything down in a couple of days. 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
