Good morning beautiful Topsy. I am sorry about my ramblings yesterday little girl, I was so angry at that thieving, gobbling odd thing, that I could not think properly… and I had a terrible headache too. I did not think that I would ever say it, but it is now worse with just that blasted trouble-making monstrosity here, than it was with that evil old ogre. It has made my little sisters and my lives as bad as it possibly can, and then it expects to be treated with respect. That evil old ogre was exactly the same, but of course, did not get any respect at all. To make that headache I had worse, there was a lot of banging and crashing from over there at the big old shouty bangy house, they were doing that for hours and hours, and it sounded as if they were just throwing planks of wood around. When I was able to get down there to the kitchen just before midday, poor Percy had already been shoved out, so I did not get a cuddle. Of course, something was waiting for me to get out of the way, but I took as long as I could before there were any slamming of doors, and wild trumpeting, then I got back up here out the way. It was waiting to be fed when I went back down there late yesterday afternoon, and I had to get out of the way so quickly, I did not have time to get myself anything ready to eat, and I had wanted to have some fish, mashed spud, and mushrooms for dinner last evening. I had to make do with a couple of small pots of noodles though, which thankfully, I did not choke on, I will try to have fish tomorrow. I was very tired when I brought Molly up here last night, but I waited almost an hour to let her back down there to the kitchen again… and she was still crying to go back down there as I got into bed. I had another uncomfortable night, and woke up five minutes early this morning, though I did not want to get up. I did though get up though, as Percy and George were waiting for their food. I got the food ready first, and Percy ran in as soon as I opened the garden doors, but George would not come in until I showed her her food. After George had finished, I let her out with ham, gave Percy his ham and salmon, then got up here out the way. I had to get out of the way when I went back down to make the coffee, and I choked on my tablets when I got up here. I have just heard deep, heavy, gravelly voices coming from over there at the stinking odd swamp, so there must be a herd of evil old witches, or grey haired old trolls gathering for a midday vodka swilling, cigar puffing session. I have not heard that gibbering, crosseyed lunatic yet, but it will certainly be making itself heard shortly. I wonder what surprises are in store for us today little girl, last night, it was pigging fireworks. 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
