Good morning beautiful Topsy. I was awake early yesterday little girl, though I did have a good sleep… it was too early to feed Percy and George, and when I got down there to the kitchen, I could not believe it. Apart from it absolutely pouring down, there was a big bag of bottles for dopey daft me to take out there to the bins, a load of blasted tins, a big pile of cardboard and paper, and a load of other stuff as well. Percy was not waiting when I opened the garden doors, and there was no sign of George either… I thought that I would be sheltered from the rain by the big old trees, but it was raining so hard, that I got a thoroughly good soaking. When I had finally taken everything out there to the bins, I unlocked the big old gates, to go looking for poor Percy, and there he was, sheltering by the big old door. He came running when he saw me, and as we came back round, George was at the garden doors. I let them in, and gave them both a good feed, though poor Percy did not eat all of his. I put it aside, as I knew that George would gobble it down this morning. Percy wanted to stay in, but I could not let him, I did not want to put him back out, but I had to… there would have been trouble had I kept him inside. When I left here, it had stopped raining, and was quite warm, so I walked to the next town to hopefully get my dopey daft head shaved of all this rotten odd hairy stuff. I could not believe it when I got there, as it was still closed, so I turned around, walked back, and went into town. It started drizzling with rain after a while, but I was glad of that, as I was so hot, and by the time that I got to the big old shoppy place, it had stopped. I did not have to go to the odd freezery place, as the ogress was going there… she was at home, waiting for dopey daft me to get back, and get out of her snorting way so that she could go trundling off out. It was packed in there, and I had to buy more blasted sausages, and more sugar and cream, on top of everything else… it was a good job that I did not go to the odd freezery place, as I would not have been able to carry everything. When I had finally paid for everything, and put everything away, I left the big odd shoppy place to stagger back here… and big surprise, as I got halfway home, the Heavens opened, and I got another thoroughly good soaking. When I got back here, I was absolutely soaked to the bone, I could hardly see anything, and came up here to change into some dry clothes. When I went back downstairs, I took Molly with me, and when I had put all the shopping away, up here I had to get out of the ogresses snorting way. Of course, she did not go into town, and just went somewhere else instead, but she did get a good soaking as well. I had another good sleep, last night, and woke up almost half an hour late, I got down there to the kitchen and opened the garden doors. Percy came running in with George not far behind, and I gave George the food that Percy had left yesterday with two packets on top, and a load of biscuits. She still wanted poor Percy's food when I put it onto the floor for him though, and I had to carry her over to her great big saucer of food. She still managed to finish before Percy did, and went over to help herself to his food, so I opened the garden doors for her. She flew back round to her plate, but Percy walked away, leaving his food again. George finished that off, and Percy got onto Charlie's chair by the scary old washing machine… but I could not let him stay, or there would have been another argument. I did tell my poor Mum when I made the coffee, and she told me to let him stay in tomorrow morning. 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
