Good morning beautiful Topsy. For some strange reason, it was quiet the day before yesterday little girl, not even the honking of a swamp thing could be heard. I was very tired that night, but I still did not have a goodnight, and kept waking up… I was awake very, very early as well, and could not get back to sleep, so I got up. George was howling out there in the garden when I got down there to the kitchen, but it was far to early to feed her and Percy, and there was a big pile of stuff to go out. I came back up here to read until it got light, and then I went back down to feed Percy and George, and George has started to push past poor Percy to get in first, it reminds me of a certain old ogre. I have them both a good feed, when they finished, I let them out, washed up, and got back up here out of the way… but my poor Mum was awake early as well, so I went back down to the kitchen to make some coffee much earlier than I usually do. I though that because I was making the coffee early, I would not be in the ogresses snorting way, and I would be able to leave here much earlier to walk into town… but of course, that was not going to happen was it. The ogress was already waiting to go thundering down the hallway when I took my poor Mum's coffee into one of the rooms for her, so I had to get out of the way just as usually do, but I thought at least I was going to leave here early. That did not happen either, as just as I was about to leave, my other sister decided to get up earlier than usual, and barge me out of the way… I could not leave here for another half hour. When I eventually left here it was dark, but also yuckingly warm, but the walk into town was okayish, until I saw daft blokes wearing shorts and hoodies, and they had the hoods up too. It must have been some special day when certain odd humans were allowed to go plothering around town or something. I only had to go to the big old shoppy place, but as usual, as soon as I got in there to get a trolley, I was in someone's way. I just about managed to get everything that I needed, I only remembered this morning that I forgot to buy something, but now I cannot remember what it was… dopey daft me. When I got back here, I put everything away, and got back up here out of the ogresses snorting way as usual. I almost fell asleep so many times late yesterday afternoon and evening, but I still had a bad night. I did not want to get out of bed this morning when I woke up, but I had already overslept by half an hour, so I got up and went down to feed Percy and George. After they had eaten, I let them out, washed up, and got out of the ogresses way… I read, went back down to make some tea, and had to get out of her way again. I will be going back down there again at midday to make some more tea, then I will have to get out of her way again, then again this afternoon, and once more this evening. We do love you Topsy, we love you so much little girl, and we do miss you, we miss you so much too you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
