Good morning beautiful Topsy. Dogs were barking all morning, afternoon, evening, and night yesterday little girl… I have only just remembered that the swamp things let their yapping dogs out when I closed the curtains just before I got onto the bed last night to read. They were at it the most yesterday, along with a dog over the back there that is always being tormented, and that big old cigar-chomping dog from over the back there that barks at anything… I think that a sparrow coughing starts it off. I had a horrible night, I woke up three times, and overslept by half an hour this morning. I did not want to get up, but poor Percy and George needed feeding, so I staggered down there to the kitchen and opened the garden doors. Percy and George came galloping in, and after I had fed them, I let them out, washed up, and got back up here out of the way. I have just remembered something else, the swamp things let their dogs out, but I cannot remember if it was before I let Percy and George in or after. For some weird reason, I did not have to get out of the ogresses snorting way this morning when I went back downstairs to make some tea, but something will happen to make up for it, like I will not be able to get another mug of tea when I go back downstairs just before midday. I am not going into town tomorrow little girl, I went into town last Monday to buy myself some Vimto and some cat food, but I had to get so much food for the ogress and my little sister to wallop down, I could not get what I wanted. The same thing happened the other day when I went into town to get my drink and the cat food, only this time I was determined to get what I wanted. Staggering home with it was awful, so if the ogress wants to chomp down another load of pork chops this week, she can go and get them, as I have had enough. I was going to go to the next town to have my head shaved, but I would have been somehow talked into going into town for a load more meat to be walloped down, so I am going in four days time instead. I probably would not have been able to have my heed shaved anyway, the queues would have been stretching back for miles, but apart from my odd hair looking like it does, the past few months have been really good. There has not been any stupid odd sport on the telly, with grown men screaming and shouting at a stupid odd football, or a nasty old scary car whizzing around a corner, now all that is coming back, and I will be glad to get out of the house again. I will be back on here tomorrow morning little girl. 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
