Good morning beautiful Topsy. Molly's tray got a good scrubbing yesterday when the ogress finally went trundling off out… she should even be going back to work soon, after three months of her being here all the time, it has got to me a lot. It was very dark all day again yesterday little girl, and we had some rain, and it stayed nice and cool, there is supposed to be a thundering old storm today, but I cannot see anything happening, as it has started to get hot. I have got fed up with cheese rolls, and decided yesterday that I was going to have some mushroom soup, as it had cooled down a lot. Of course, as it has started to get hot, I will not be able to have soup this evening, as I cannot eat anything hot when the weather is hot as well. I do not know what to eat this evening, I would love to have a couple of boiled egg salad rolls, but that odd doctor told me that I could not have any, maybe I will have a couple of buttered rolls… if there is any butter left that is. I am not going into town the day after tomorrow little girl, I am getting so fed up with having to carry so much shopping back from town whenever I go out. I bring back enough shopping for a week when I go for a long walk, and every time that I do go out, I have to bring back more shopping, and it is all gobbled down in two to three days by the ogress and my little sister. They got through a big tub of butter in just two days, how, I have no idea, a tub usually lasts me about three weeks. There is a lot of drilling, hammering, and sawing coming from over the back there, and it is really doing my head in… I am so tired that I feel like I am going to fall asleep at any moment, even though I had a good nights sleep. I woke up a couple of times, and when I woke up this morning, I had overslept by about twenty minutes. I could hear George howling out there in the garden, and when I had got down there to the kitchen and had opened the garden doors, she and Percy came barging in together. I gave them a good feed, and got back up here as quickly as I could. I had to do the same thing when I went back down to make some coffee, but I managed to grab some biscuits before I had to get out of the ogresses way. Of course, as soon as I got up here with Molly, she went straight into her tray to do the usual thing that she does whenever I have something to eat. I thought that I might be feeling a bit happier today little girl, but I still feel very depressed, I need cheering up. 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. XXXXXX
