Good morning beautiful Topsy. It got so dark again yesterday, I thought that there would be some more rain little girl, but of course, it did not happen… though it will most probably pour down whilst I am in town the day after tomorrow. It stayed quiet yesterday afternoon, but when I went down to the kitchen late yesterday afternoon, I thought that I could hear something strange, but thought not more about it. However, when I got back up here I could hear clearly what I thought I had heard downstairs in the kitchen. That maladjusted, moronic, rubbery-lipped, inbred, toothless, lunatic of a mini swamp-witching thing was out there by the big old fence making as much noise as it possibly could. It was making so much noise that I had to close the big window, and I have kept that open while those swamp things have had their swamp parties… that is how bad that blasted squawking thing was. I did not open the window again until I got into bed, and I got into bed late last night because I felt so low. I had not even got into bed before those swamp things had let out there dog to bark and jump at the fence, and I could hear it even with those waxy earoley things in my ears. I had a terrible night little girl, I was awake very, very early again, and it took ages for me to get back off to sleep, and when I woke up again, I had overslept by a few minutes. I staggered down there to the kitchen, and George was already howling out there by the garden doors, and when I opened them, she flew in… there was no sign of Percy anywhere, but he came running as soon as I called him. I gave them both a good feed, and when they had finished, I let them out, and got back up here out of the way. When I went back down to make some coffee, there was the ogress waiting for me to get out of her way when I took my poor Mum's coffee into one of the rooms for her. I just had enough time to grab a few biscuits before I had to get back up here out of the way… thankfully, Molly allowed me to have some this morning. She will probably wait until this evening to use her tray, probably when I am just about to eat my rolls. 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
