Good morning beautiful Topsy. It poured down again yesterday, not that I am complaining, I much rather it was cool and rainy that boiling hot and horrible, and it does keep certain swamp things and crosseyed lunatics inside. As soon as it stopped raining the day before yesterday, they were out there in the swamp, bellowing, screaming, snorting, and cackling, but thankfully, it started raining again about fifteen minutes later. Back inside they limped and waddled, squawking and howling because their odd scaly skin was being burnt by fresh rainwater. Yesterday was a better day, though I still felt low, and having to keep getting out of the way did not help. Last nights excuse was that something was waiting to get into the hallway, and I had just got up here when it was thundering down there like a raged walrus. That was me not allowed back down again until this morning. I was awake a few times during the night, and I must have had a bad night, as I did not want to get up this morning when I woke up early, I just laid there for a while, then got up to go and feed Percy and George. It was pouring down when I got into the kitchen, I had not noticed from up here because of all the big trees, and I opened the garden doors as quickly as I could, but there was no Percy and George out there. As I took a old catfood box out there to the bin, George came whirring around the corner, and flew into the kitchen. I called for Percy, but could not see him, then just as I was coming back in, he came running up the garden, and ran into the kitchen. I gave them both a good feed, and when George had finished, she wanted to go back out, so I gave her a load of ham to eat out there. I gave Percy his usual saucerful, then got back up here out the way. When I went back down to make some coffee, I had to get out the way again, but I made sure that I gave poor Percy another packet of food before I was forced back up here. I managed to get myself some biscuits as well, and I did not choke on any, though I gave no idea why. I love you Topsy, I love you so much little girl, and I miss you, I miss you so much you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
