Good morning beautiful Topsy. Yesterday was not as bad as the day before little girl, and though I was worried about poor Percy, he was out there in the garden when I looked out there just before midday. Of course, I could not stay long, as the ogress had gone trundling out just under an hour before, and I had been expecting her to come crashing through the big scary old door and flatten me against the wall just as I got level with it. I gave poor Percy two packets of food, but he did not eat it all, so I put it aside for today… I would have liked him to stay in, but there would have only been complaints, so out he went, and back up here I had to get. A few minutes later, the ogress came crashing through the big scary old door, then went smashing through the downstairs bathroom door. I imagined that she came to a halt with her big heed stuck in the lavatory, and would have to be towed away. I was so hungry last evening, and had a bowlful of spaghetti, which was nice. I only have one tin left, as the two tins of spaghetti that I bought last week had blasted sausages in them, and I am not going into town tomorrow. I am sick and tired of staggering back here with hundreds of pounds worth of shopping, only for it all to be gobbled down in a couple of days. If I did go for just spaghetti, I would have to come back here with another great big pile of shopping. I had a good sleep last night, and overslept by fifteen minutes this morning… when I got down there to the kitchen, I got Jenny’s plant to put by her little resting place. When I opened the garden doors, George came galloping in all wet, but there was no sign of poor Percy, though he came running along as I was putting Jenny’s plant down. He was absolutely soaking, and I dried him when we got into the kitchen. I gave Percy and George two packets of food, then some ham, then I put George out, and left Percy curled up on Charlie’s chair with a saucerful of ham… I hoped that he would be able to stay in until at least midday. When I went back down to make some coffee, my poor Mum reminded me that it was Sunday, and that the ogresses huge fry-ups would be sizzling away two hours before midday, so poor Percy would have to be out of the way. Of course, I had to get out of the ogresses snorting way when I took my poor Mum’s coffee into one of the rooms, and then poor Percy had to go out about an hour later, much earlier than two hours before midday. It was pouring down, and he did not want to go, but I put his ham out there, gave him a cuddle, and put him out, and George had almost chomped down his ham… then I had to get out of the ogresses snorting way yet again. I have only just remembered that I bought myself some mushrooms the other day, and I have only remembered that because I can smell them cooking for that big lumps breakfast, and I hid them as well. Anyone else would think that fourteen rashers of bacon, six sausages, fried bread, two eggs, a tin of beans, and half a loaf of bread and butter would be enough… it looks as if it is going to be another happy day 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
